Background And Purpose: Magnetic resonance-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (MRgLITT) is a minimally invasive procedure that produces real-time thermal damage estimates (TDEs) of ablation. Currently, MRgLITT software provides limited quantitative parameters for intraoperative monitoring, but orthogonal TDE-MRI slices can be utilized to mathematically estimate ablation volume. The objective of this study was to model TDE volumes and validate using post-24 hours MRI ablative volumes.
Methods: Ablations were performed with the Visualase Laser Ablation System (Medtronic). Using ellipsoidal parameters determined for dual-TDEs from orthogonal MRI planes, TDE volumes were calculated by two definite integral methods (A and B) implemented in Matlab (MathWorks). Post-24 hours MRI ablative volumes were measured in OsiriX (Pixmeo) by two-blinded raters and compared to TDE volumes via paired t-test and Pearson's correlations.
Results: Twenty-two ablations for 20 patients with various intracranial pathologies were included. Average TDE volume calculated with method A was 3.44 ± 1.96 cm and with method B was 4.83 ± 1.53 cm . Method A TDE volumes were significantly different than post-24 hours volumes (P < .001). Method B TDE volumes were not significantly different than post-24 hours volumes (P = .39) and strongly correlated with each other (r = .85, R = .72, P < .0001). A total of eight of 22 (36%) method A versus 17 of 22 (77%) method B TDE volumes were within 25% of the post-24 hours ablative volume.
Conclusion: We present a viable mathematical method integrating dual-plane TDEs to calculate volumes. Future algorithmic iterations will incorporate additional calculated variables that improve ablative volume estimations.

Predictors of diastolic deceleration time of coronary flow velocity of infarct related and reference coronary artery assessed by transthoracic Doppler echocardiography in the chronic phase of successfully reperfused anterior myocardial infarction: relation to infarct size.

Introduction: High-frequency transthoracic Doppler echocardiography (TDE) enables the assessment of flow velocity and velocity pattern in different coronary arteries, including the assessment of diastolic deceleration time (DDT) of coronary flow velocity. Short DDT of infarct related artery (IRA) (<600 msec) in the acute phase of anterior myocardial infarction (MI) is the predictor of adverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling and prognosis. The significance of DDT of coronary flow velocity assessment in the chronic phase of anterior MI is not well established.

Objective: Investigate daily feeding volumes and their association with clinical variables in the early postnatal care of premature infants of the "Connection Trial."
Study Design: A total of 641 infants of 510 to 1,000-g birth weight (BW, mean: 847 g) and mean 27 weeks' gestational age at birth (GA) were analyzed for total daily enteral (TDE) feeding volumes of 10, 20, 40, 80, and 120 mL/kg/d and their association with 24 clinical variables. Uni- and multivariable Cox regression models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals as a measure of the chance of reaching each of the TDE volumes.
Optogenetic Spreading Depolarizations Do Not Worsen Acute Ischemic Stroke Outcome.

Background: Spreading depolarizations (SDs) are believed to contribute to injury progression and worsen outcomes in focal cerebral ischemia because exogenously induced SDs have been associated with enlarged infarct volumes. However, previous studies used highly invasive methods to trigger SDs that can directly cause tissue injury (eg, topical KCl) and confound the interpretation. Here, we tested whether SDs indeed enlarge infarcts when induced via a novel, noninjurious method using optogenetics.

In this study, eight different levels of commercial blueberry wines were studied to establish the comprehensive quality evaluation method of blueberry wine. Eleven physicochemical indexes (total carbohydrates (TC), total acids (TA), total esters (TE), total phenols (TP), total anthocyanins (ANT), color density (CD), tint (T), alcohol by volume (ABV), total soluble solids (TSS), Ph value, total dry extracts (TDE)) were used to establish the quality evaluation model and conduct the principal component analysis (PCA). Based on the results from PCA, the first three principal components accounted for 85.
