Purpose: To evaluate modified Dixon MRI techniques in hepatic fat estimation and to assess the effect of cirrhosis.
Methods: 235 patients who underwent liver MRI were included. Correlation between modified Dixon techniques with MRS was assessed. Accuracy of MR techniques in hepatic fat estimation was calculated, and the result was compared between patients with/without liver cirrhosis.
Results: Correlation between modified Dixon and MRS was better in group without liver cirrhosis, and accuracy of modified Dixon method was higher in group without liver cirrhosis.
Conclusions: Modified Dixon techniques estimate hepatic fat fraction noninvasively, but the result can be influenced by the presence of liver cirrhosis.

South Texas Veterans Health Care System, University of Texas Health, San Antonio, TX, USA.
Background: The efficacy and safety of ensifentrine, a novel PDE3/PDE4 inhibitor, were previously evaluated in the ENHANCE-1 (NCT04535986) and ENHANCE-2 (NCT04542057) trials. Here, we present a pooled post-hoc subgroup analysis of patients according to background chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) maintenance medication regimens.
Objective: This analysis aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of ensifentrine in patients receiving long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA) or long-acting beta-agonists with inhaled corticosteroids (LABA + ICS).
Five-Year Results With Patisiran for Hereditary Transthyretin Amyloidosis With Polyneuropathy: A Randomized Clinical Trial With Open-Label Extension.

Importance: There is a lack of long-term efficacy and safety data on hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis with polyneuropathy (hATTR-PN) and on RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutics in general. This study presents the longest-term data to date on patisiran for hATTR-PN.
Objective: To present the long-term efficacy and safety of patisiran in adults with hATTR-PN.

Male crickets sing to attract females for mating. Sound is produced by tegminal stridulation, where one wing bears a plectrum and the other a wing vein modified with cuticular teeth. The carrier frequency ( ) of the call is dictated by the wing resonance and the rate of tooth strikes.

Unlabelled: African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a high-consequence pathogen posing a substantial threat to global food security. This large DNA virus encodes more than 150 open reading frames, many of which are uncharacterized. The gene encodes CD2v, a glycoprotein expressed on the surface of infected cells and the only viral protein known to be present in the virus external envelope.
