Diffusion weighted 19F images of rat lung in vivo using SF6 are presented. Projection-reconstruction images were acquired by filling the rat lung with a mixture of SF6 and air, during 64 successive apneas. Each apnea lasted for 6 s, the time required to perform 100 accumulations of each k-space radial phase step for the five values of the diffusion gradient (TR = 10 ms). After diffusion images were acquired, an apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map was generated, yielding an average value for the ADC of 2.22 x 10(-6) m2/s and SD for ADC values of 1.27 x 10(-6) m2/s. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first in vivo diffusion weighting imaging application and the first ADC map obtained using 19F MRI.

Background: Thermophilic species are among the main culprits behind bacterial gastroenteritis globally and have grown progressively resistant to clinically important antimicrobials. Many studies have been carried out to explore innovative and alternative strategies to control antibiotic-resistant campylobacters in animal reservoirs and human hosts; however, limited studies have been performed to develop efficient control schemes against biofilms.
Methods: This study investigated the antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities of some herbal extracts against multidrug-resistant (MDR) species recovered from different sources using phenotypic and molecular techniques.

In this study, we aim to evaluate in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) findings of corneal stromal dystrophies (CSDs) including granular, macular and lattice corneal dystrophy that can be used for differential diagnosis and monitoring recurrences after surgical interventions. : Patients diagnosed with CSD who were followed-up in the cornea and ocular surface unit were included in this study. IVCM was performed using the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph 3, Rostock Cornea Module (Heidelberg Engineering, Germany) and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) imaging was performed using the Spectralis OCT (Heidelberg Engineering, Germany).

In this study an in situ forming gel for curcumin and piperine delivery is investigated as a long-lasting strategy in the local treatment of inflammatory and degenerative joint disease, such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Particularly glyceryl monooleate, in association with phosphatidylcholine and ethanol, were employed. Different ratios between excipients were tested, with the aim to obtain a liquid form suitable for subcutaneous injection, gaining a semisolid consistency in contact with biological fluids.
