AI Article Synopsis

  • β-Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a highly sensitive technique that can analyze various elements and has been used successfully in nuclear and solid-state physics.
  • The research demonstrates the application of β-NMR for the first time in measuring NMR spectra of species in solution, focusing on (31)Mg ions in an ionic liquid.
  • Key findings include identifying specific resonances and showing that β-NMR could become a valuable technique in general chemistry and biochemistry.

Article Abstract

β-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is highly sensitive compared to conventional NMR spectroscopy, and may be applied for several elements across the periodic table. β-NMR has previously been successfully applied in the fields of nuclear and solid-state physics. In this work, β-NMR is applied, for the first time, to record an NMR spectrum for a species in solution. (31)Mg β-NMR spectra are measured for as few as 10(7) magnesium ions in ionic liquid (EMIM-Ac) within minutes, as a prototypical test case. Resonances are observed at 3882.9 and 3887.2 kHz in an external field of 0.3 T. The key achievement of the current work is to demonstrate that β-NMR is applicable for the analysis of species in solution, and thus represents a novel spectroscopic technique for use in general chemistry and potentially in biochemistry.

Preoperative surgical planning MRI for fibroids: What the surgeon needs to know and what to report.

J Med Imaging Radiat Oncol

December 2024

St John of God Subiaco, Perth, Western Australia, Australia.

Uterine leiomyomata, commonly known as fibroids, are prevalent benign tumours affecting a significant percentage of women of reproductive age. Although many patients remain asymptomatic, a substantial proportion experience severe symptoms, including abnormal uterine bleeding and adverse reproductive outcomes. Surgical intervention often becomes necessary for patients with symptomatic fibroids, despite advancements in medical therapies.

Early detection of focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) using brain MRI in young children presenting with drug-resistant epilepsy may facilitate prompt surgical treatment, resulting in better control of seizures and decreased associated cognitive difficulties. Characteristics of FCD described in the literature are predominantly based on MRI findings in a fully myelinated brain; therefore, changes occurring during early brain maturation are not well known. In this case report, we describe distinct MRI features of a FCD visualized best before completion of myelination of the cortex and subcortical white matter.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Prior Authorizations for Orthopaedic Care Are Negatively Affected by Medicaid Insurance Status.

J Am Acad Orthop Surg

December 2024

From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery (Harrer, Hedden, Gentile, Gealt, and Brown), Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Cooper University Health Care, and the Cooper University Health Care (Mikaeili and Bazrafshan), Camden, NJ.

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has revolutionized musculoskeletal care. However, its high costs and high utilization has prompted many insurance payors to require a prior authorization. This process remains burdensome and results in delays to patient care.

Objective: The extent of resection (EOR) is an important prognostic factor for both low- and high-grade gliomas. Intraoperative MRI (iMRI) has been used to increase the EOR in glioma surgery. While a recent study reported differences between iMRI and early postoperative MRI (epMRI), their specific relationship to postoperative clinical symptoms remains unclear.

Prevalence of Complications Due to Transphyseal Hematogenous Osteomyelitis.

J Bone Joint Surg Am

December 2024

Pediatric Orthopaedic Unit, Pediatric Surgery Service, Geneva University Hospitals, Geneva, Switzerland.

Background: Transphyseal hematogenous osteomyelitis (THO) is a common infectious condition, being present in 25% of patients with hematogenous osteomyelitis. A large proportion of pediatric hematogenous osteomyelitis infections can spread through the growth cartilage and therefore may be potentially responsible for growth disorders, leading to limb-length discrepancy or angular deformities. The purpose of the present study was to identify both the prevalence of complications caused by transphyseal osteomyelitis and factors influencing their occurrence.
