AI Article Synopsis

  • Internal magnetic field gradients in porous media can reveal information about the behavior of liquid (like water) confined in those structures.
  • A new theoretical approach combines spin interactions with radio-frequency fields and static magnetic fields to create a formula that aligns well with measurements of water diffusion in cement paste pores.
  • Analyzing experimental data allows researchers to determine changes in capillary pore size, spin relaxation, and internal magnetic field variations during the early stages of hydration at varying temperatures.

Article Abstract

Internal magnetic field gradients, arising within the porous media due to susceptibility differences at the interfaces of solid and liquid as well as due to the contained magnetic impurities, can be employed by the method of modulated gradient spin echo to get insight into the velocity autocorrelation spectrum of liquid confined in the porous structure. New theoretical treatment of spin interaction with the radio-frequency field and the simultaneously applied static non-uniform magnetic field provides the formula that match well with the measurement of restricted diffusion of water in pores of cement paste. Its fitting to the experimental data gives the changes in the mean size of capillary pores, the spin relaxation and the magnitude of mean internal magnetic field gradients during the induction period and early acceleration stage of hydration processes at different temperatures.

Background And Objectives: Although previous trials have established the efficacy and safety of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in large ischemic core strokes, most of them excluded patients with extracranial internal carotid artery (e-ICA) occlusion. We aimed to compare outcomes in patients with e-ICA occlusion and large ischemic core infarcts treated with EVT vs medical management (MM).

Methods: This was a secondary analysis of the SELECT2 trial, a randomized controlled trial conducted at 31 international sites.

Acute Achille Tendon Rupture After Treatment of Levofloxacin for Helicobacter pylori Eradication: A Case Report.

J Am Podiatr Med Assoc

January 2025

†Division of Geriatrics, Department of Internal Medicine, Marmara University Medical School, Pendik, Istanbul, Turkey.

This case report aims to demonstrate a rare occurrence of tendon rupture attributable to levofloxacin use in Helicobacter pylori eradication. On the seventh day of treatment, the patient experienced severe foot pain and difficulty in walking, leading to a diagnosis of Achilles tendon rupture confirmed through magnetic resonance imaging. Levofloxacin-induced tendinopathy and/or rupture are rare complications that are often linked to age and sex.

This work is devoted to the study of the static magnetization of immobilized multi-core particles (MCPs) and their ensembles. These objects model aggregates of superparamagnetic nanoparticles that are taken up by biological cells and subsequently used, for example, as magnetoactive agents for cell imaging. In this study, we derive an analytical formula that allows us to predict the static magnetization of MCPs consisting of immobilized granules, in which the magnetic moment rotates freely the Néel mechanism.

Unlabelled: Proton exchange is a fundamental chemical event, and NMR provides the most direct readout of protonation events with site-specific resolution. Conventional approaches require manual titration of sample pH to collect a series of NMR spectra at different pH values. This requires extensive sample handling and often results in significant sample loss, leading to reduced signal or the need to prepare additional samples.
