We aimed to assess the hemodynamic effects of nonionic low-osmolarity contrast media (CM) on kidneys with ureteral stone (KUS). A total of 16 patients with KUS (group A) and 25 control patients (group B) were evaluated with Doppler ultrasound (US) bilaterally for main (MRA), interlobar (ILA) and arcuate renal arteries (ARA), before and 15 min after CM for IV pyelography. Peak systolic (PSV) and end diastolic velocities (EDV) and resistance index (RI) were measured. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and t-test. In group A, CM induced increase in PSV of MRA of contralateral kidney (p = 0.021) and decrease in PSV of ILA (p = 0.024), decrease in PSV and EDV and increase in RI of ARA of KUS (p = 0.010, 0.005, 0.027, respectively). CM induced hypoperfusion in KUS and compensatory changes in contralateral kidneys, similar to the effects of diuresis or mannitol. We conclude that the effect of CM on KUS is related to its osmolar load.

Probabilistic nested model selection in pharmacokinetic analysis of DCE-MRI data in animal model of cerebral tumor.
Sci Rep

Best current practice in the analysis of dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE)-MRI is to employ a voxel-by-voxel model selection from a hierarchy of nested models. This nested model selection (NMS) assumes that the observed time-trace of contrast-agent (CA) concentration within a voxel, corresponds to a singular physiologically nested model. However, admixtures of different models may exist within a voxel's CA time-trace.

Background: Recent media attention has been given to an apparent shift away from hormonal methods of contraception. While an increase in fertility awareness-based or 'natural' family planning methods is reported in the grey literature, there are no robust data to determine any such trend in the UK.
Methods: We compared self-reported contraceptive use at conception among patients presenting for abortion at British Pregnancy Advisory Service from January to June 2018 (N=33 495) and January to June 2023 (N=55 055) using chi-square (χ) tests of association.
Critical reflection on the indication for computed tomography: an interdisciplinary survey of risk and benefit management in patients with sepsis.

Objectives: To survey physicians' views on the risks and benefits of computed tomography (CT) in the management of septic patients and indications for and contraindications to contrast media use in searching for septic foci.
Methods: A web-based questionnaire was administered to physicians at a large European university medical center in January 2022. A total of 371 questionnaires met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed with physicians' work experience, workplace, and medical specialty as independent variables.
A PDMS/chitosan/MPMs composite film based on multi-field coupling enhancement for African swine fever virus P72 protein detection.

African swine fever (ASF) is an acute hemorrhagic disease in pigs caused by the African swine fever virus (ASFV), which has a high mortality rate and brought great damage to global pig farming industry. At present, there is no effective treatment or vaccine to combat ASFV infection, so early detection of ASFV has become particularly important. Therefore, the PDMS/chitosan/MPMs composite film was proposed to detect ASFV P72.

Contrast media, including iodinated contrast media and gadolinium-based contrast agents, are commonly administered pharmaceuticals with excellent safety profiles. However, a minority of the population may experience a hypersensitivity reaction following intravenous administration. Hypersensitivity reactions can be immediate or delayed, and range from mild, such as urticaria, to severe, including anaphylaxis.
