AI Article Synopsis
- This study explores a new system that correlates breast MRI and sonography findings, addressing the challenges often faced in this area.
- It involved 10 patients with a total of 13 breast lesions, assessing how accurately the system could pinpoint areas visible on both MRI and ultrasound.
- The results showed that this new coregistration system is effective for accurately targeting sonography to match MRI findings of the same breast lesions.
Article Abstract
Objective: Sonographic correlation of breast MRI findings is often challenging. We present a preliminary in vivo feasibility study evaluating the degree of error of a new MRI-sonography coregistration system for showing MRI and sonographically visible breast lesions.
Conclusion: In 10 patients with 13 lesions, the system was found to be an accurate means for targeting sonography to MRI of the same breast lesions.

A biologically safe, noninvasive method for visualizing bone and soft tissue relationships has been developed recently. Termed the ultrasonic transmission imaging system, its advantages include visualization of soft tissues in real time while motion is underway. The image can be correlated to standard x-ray films, but since no ionizing radiation is involved, repeated risk-free visualization of extremities for either diagnostic assessment or biomechanical studies is permitted.

Aryl quinolone derivatives can target the cytochrome bc complex of Plasmodium falciparum, exhibiting excellent in vitro and in vivo antimalarial activity. However, their clinical development has been hindered due to their poor aqueous solubility profiles. In this study, a series of bioisosteres containing saturated heterocycles fused to a 4-pyridone ring were designed to replace the inherently poorly soluble quinolone core in antimalarial quinolones with the aim to reduce π-π stacking interactions in the crystal packing solid state, and a synthetic route was developed to prepare these alternative core derivatives.

A preliminary study was conducted using electronic portal imaging device (EPID) based dose verification in pre-treatment and in vivo dose reconstruction modes for breast cancer intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) technique with known repositioning set-up errors. For 43 IMRT plans, the set-up errors were determined from 43 sets of EPID images and 258 sets of cone beam computed tomography images. In-house developed Edose software was used to reconstruct the dose distribution using the pre-treatment and on-treatment (in vivo) EPID acquired fluence maps.

Background: Despite being the second most common form of dementia, vascular contributions of Frontotemporal Dementia are understudied. Recent data from patients and preliminary experiments have indicated that in progranulin-deficient mice, an increased number of cortical capillaries are stalled, and cerebral blood flow is reduced. Here, we examined the underlying mechanism contributing to microvascular dysfunction in FTD.

Background: Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) exhibits isoform-specific interactions with Alzheimer's disease (AD)-related pathology. In comparison with the more common ApoE3 isoform, ApoE4 promotes amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition, enhances tau-mediated neurodegeneration and inflammation. However, the lack of appropriate preclinical models has limited the ability to evaluate the potential synergistic effect of Aβ, tau and ApoE on cognition and disease progression.
