Two new oxygenated terpenes ( and ) have been characterized from the Australian nudibranch . Broadened H NMR signals, together with the absence of individual carbon NMR signals, complicated analysis of 5,9-epoxydendrillolide A (); increasing the temperature to 323 K revealed the missing NMR signals. Low-temperature H NMR experiments provided an activation barrier of ∼15 kcal mol and, together with DFT calculations, supported interconversion of a twist chair conformer with two different chair conformers. X-ray crystallographic analysis coupled with biosynthetic reasoning suggested a (5, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, 16) configuration. Ketone demonstrated similar dynamic conformational processes to .

Purpose: Adaptive radiotherapy accounts for interfractional anatomic changes. We hypothesize that changes in the gross tumor volumes identified during daily scans could be analyzed using delta-radiomics to predict disease progression events. We evaluated whether an auxiliary data set could improve prediction performance.

Purpose: Treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD) in the region below the knee (BTK) is dissatisfying as failure of treated target lesions (TLF) is frequent and diagnostic imaging is often challenging. In the BTK-region metallic drug-eluting stents (mDES) yielded best results concerning primary patency (PP), but also annihilate signal in magnetic resonance angiography (MR-A). A recently introduced non-metallic drug eluting bioresorbable Tyrocore® vascular scaffold (deBVS), that offers an option for re-treatment of lesions due to its full degradation within 3-4 years after placement, was investigated with respect to its compatibility with MR-A to unimpededly depict previously treated target lesions.

Altered neural signaling in fibromyalgia syndrome (FM) was investigated with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). We employed a novel fMRI network analysis method, Structural and Physiological Modeling (SAPM), which provides more detailed information than previous methods. The study involved brain fMRI data from participants with FM (N = 22) and a control group (HC, N = 18), acquired during a noxious stimulation paradigm.

Comparative Sensitivity of MRI Indices for Myelin Assessment in Spinal Cord Regions.

Tomography

January 2025

Laboratory for Biomarker Imaging Science, Graduate School of Biomedical Science and Engineering, Hokkaido University, N15 W7, Kita-ku, Sapporo 060-8638, Japan.

Although multiple magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) indices are known to be sensitive to the noninvasive assessment of myelin integrity, their relative sensitivities have not been directly compared. This study aimed to identify the most sensitive MRI index for characterizing myelin composition in the spinal cord's gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM). MRI was performed on a deer's ex vivo cervical spinal cord.

Fast Hadamard-Encoded 7T Spectroscopic Imaging of Human Brain.

Tomography

January 2025

NextGen Precision Health, Department of Radiology, University of Missouri Columbia, 1030 Hitt Street, Columbia, MO 65201, USA.

: The increased SNR available at 7T combined with fast readout trajectories enables accelerated spectroscopic imaging acquisitions for clinical applications. In this report, we evaluate the performance of a Hadamard slice encoding strategy with a 2D rosette trajectory for multi-slice fast spectroscopic imaging at 7T. : Moderate-TE (~40 ms) spin echo and J-refocused polarization transfer sequences were acquired with simultaneous Hadamard multi-slice excitations and rosette in-plane encoding.
