Published: April 1992

Magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy of an EDTA or citrate plasma sample (also referred to as "Fossel test" after Fossel, who first described it) started out as a promising method for fast and simple diagnosis of malignancies. Although the results of our own studies of the head and neck area confirm this tendency, we believe--and so do meanwhile also other investigators--that the clinical use of this test in its present form is not feasible because of lacking specificity.

To develop and validate non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT)-based radiomics method combines machine learning (ML) to investigate invisible microscopic acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) lesions. We retrospectively analyzed 1122 patients from August 2015 to July 2022, whose were later confirmed AIS by diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). However, receiving a negative result was reported by radiologists according to the NCCT images.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the role of DNA ploidy and proliferation index in distinguishing ameloblastoma (AB) from ameloblastic carcinoma (AC).

Methods: The study included 29 ACs, 6 conventional ABs that transformed into ACs, and a control cohort of 20 conventional ABs. The demographics and clinicopathologic details of the included cases were summarised and compared.

Rapid acclimatization to baseline stimulation with a multi-canal vestibulocochlear implant.

Purpose: It is hypothesized that a vestibular implant should re-establish baseline activity of the ampullary nerves. Use of a constant baseline stimulation potentially allows encoding of bi-directional head movements, through the addition of signal modulations. Effective stimulation of the vestibular nerves depends on the ability to acclimate to this baseline signal.
