Published: March 2007

Miscible flow displacements of a ferrofluid droplet subjected to various magnetic field configurations and confined in a time-dependent gap Hele-Shaw cell are examined through highly accurate numerical simulations. The interplay between lifting, miscibility, and applied magnetic fields resulted in complex interfacial pattern formation. By varying the symmetry properties of the applied magnetic fields and by considering the action of Korteweg stresses, a number of interesting droplet morphologies are identified and characterized. The possibility of controlling the degree of fluid mixing and the ultimate shape of the emerging patterns by appropriately adjusting the strength of the applied magnetic fields is also discussed.

Purpose: Pulmonary MRI faces challenges due to low proton density, rapid transverse magnetization decay, and cardiac and respiratory motion. The fermat-looped orthogonally encoded trajectories (FLORET) sequence addresses these issues with high sampling efficiency, strong signal, and motion robustness, but has not yet been applied to phase-resolved functional lung (PREFUL) MRI-a contrast-free method for assessing pulmonary ventilation during free breathing. This study aims to develop a reconstruction pipeline for FLORET UTE, enhancing spatial resolution for three-dimensional (3D) PREFUL ventilation analysis.

A novel method was established using a restricted access material combined with a molecularly imprinted polymer (RAM-MIP) as the sorbent material in solid phase extraction (SPE) for clean-up of α-endosulfan, β-endosulfan, endosulfate, endosulfan-ether, endosulfan lactone, heptachlor, heptachlor--epoxide, and heptachlor--epoxide in pork and gas chromatography (GC) for determination. The RAM-MIP was prepared by precipitation polymerization by using endosulfan as the template, methacrylic acid (MAA) as the monomer, glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) as the pro-hydrophilic co-monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as the crosslinker, azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the initiator, and toluene as the porogen. Ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV) and H-nuclear magnetic resonance (H-NMR) analysis verified that MAA interacted specifically with endosulfan in a ratio of 1 : 1 in the pre-polymerization solution.

Aim: The diagnostic criteria for type 2 myocardial infarction identify a heterogenous group of patients with variable outcomes and no clear treatment implications. We aimed to determine the implications of a new clinical classification for myocardial infarction with more objective diagnostic criteria using cardiac imaging.

Methods: In a prospective cohort study, patients with type 2 myocardial infarction underwent coronary angiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging or echocardiography.

Purpose: Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) determines partial response (PR) and progressive disease (PD) as a 30 % reduction and 20 % increase in the longest diameter (LD), respectively. Tumour volume analysis (TVA) utilises three diameters to calculate response parameters.

Patients And Methods: We conducted a pilot investigation of patients who underwent neoadjuvant breast cancer treatment and evaluation using RECIST with LD measurements and TVA with three diametric measurements, using the parameters PR (>30 % tumour regression), PD (>20 % tumour growth), and intermediate stable disease (SD).
