A comparative study of the effect of continuous and impulsive (2 ms) ultrasound regimes on actomyosin superprecipitation reaction of the rabbit skeletal muscles was carried out. From the obtained kinetic curves the value of superprecipitation (D(m) - D(00)), time t1/2, which required to achieve a half its value was determined, and the normalized maximal rate of this reaction V(n) was calculated as well. It is shown that continuous ultrasound with intensities 0.7 W/cm2 and impulsive ultrasound--of 0.4 W/cm2 produced the most pronounced effect (value of superprecipitation and V(n) were maximal). The actomyosin superprecipitation value under continuous and impulsive ultrasound with intensity 1 W/cm2 relative to control and all other applied intensities was most decreased. It is caused perhaps thermal influence of the ultrasound. Thus the obtained data give every reason to assume, that impulsive ultrasound causes changes of adaptive character in actomyosin because the interrupted regime of the ultrasound signal.

Background: Hemodynamic force (HDF) from cardiac MRI can indicate subclinical myocardial dysfunction, and help identify early cardiac changes in patients with Fabry disease (FD). The hemodynamic change in FD patients remains unclear.
Purpose: To explore HDF changes in FD and the potential of HDF measurements as diagnostic markers indicating early cardiac changes in FD.

To analyse the 3D-Flair MRI manifestations of the inner ear, vestibular function status, and their correlation with hearing treatment outcomes in patients with severe sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL), and to explore potential prognostic indicators for sudden deafness. The clinical data of adult patients with unilateral profound sudden sensorineural hearing loss were retrospectively analyzed in Otorhinolaryngology Department of Shandong Provincial ENT Hospital from March 2018 to August 2020. Patients were categorized based on the results of their inner ear 3D-Flair MRI into two groups: the normal MRI group and the abnormal MRI group.

Purpose: Introducing compensated variable-prephasing (CVP), a phantom-based method for gradient waveform measurements. The technique is based on the variable-prephasing (VP) method, but takes into account the effects of all gradients involved in the measurement.
Methods: We conducted measurements of a trapezoidal test gradient and of an EPI readout gradient train with three approaches: VP, CVP, and fully compensated variable-prephasing (FCVP).

Background: The risk-benefit ratio of the Absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) may vary before and after 3 years, the time point of complete bioresorption of the poly-L-lactic acid scaffold.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the time-varying outcomes of the Absorb BVS compared with cobalt-chromium everolimus-eluting stents (EES) from a large individual-patient-data pooled analysis of randomized trials.
Methods: The individual patient data from 5 trials that randomized 5,988 patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention to the Absorb BVS vs EES with 5-year follow-up were pooled.
