Polyaniline (PANI) modified magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) nanocomposites coated with newly synthesized dicationic ionic liquid (DICAT) forming MNP-PANI-DICAT were successfully synthesized as a potential material for the removal of Rhodamine B (RB) from water samples. The synthesized material was successfully characterized using a few techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. Several parameters have been optimized to enhance the efficiency of the removal process. The adsorption kinetics were investigated and the results showed that MNP-PANI-DICAT was best fitted to a pseudo-second order model for the adsorption of RB. As for the isotherm studies, Temkin's model was found to fit well with the adsorption isotherm of RB on MNP-PANI-DICAT. Other than that, thermodynamics results showed negative values of Δ° for the adsorption of RB, which indicated that the process is thermodynamically feasible, spontaneous and chemically controlled at lower temperature. The negative value of enthalpy Δ° (-40.41) indicated that the adsorption was an exothermic process. The percentage removal of RB was found to be 94.7% by MNP-PANI-DICAT under optimized conditions.

Association between clinical and MRI-detected imaging findings for people with midfoot pain, a cross-sectional study.

Background: Midfoot pain is common but poorly understood, with radiographs often indicating no anomalies. This study aimed to describe bone, joint and soft tissue changes and to explore associations between MRI-detected abnormalities and clinical symptoms (pain and disability) in a group of adults with midfoot pain, but who were radiographically negative for osteoarthritis.
Methods: Community-based participants with midfoot pain underwent an MRI scan of one foot and scored semi-quantitatively using the Foot OsteoArthritis MRI Score (FOAMRIS).

: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the Kaiser score (KS) on the modified abbreviated breast magnetic resonance imaging (AB-MRI) protocol for characterizing breast lesions by comparing it with full-protocol MRI (FP-MRI), using the histological data as the reference standard. : Breast MRIs detecting histologically verified contrast-enhancing breast lesions were evaluated retrospectively. A modified AB-MRI protocol was created from the standard FP-MRI, which comprised axial fat-suppressed T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), pre-contrast T1-weighted imaging (T1WI), and first, second, and fourth post-contrast phases.

The liver is supplied by a dual blood flow system consisting of the portal vein and hepatic artery. Imaging techniques for diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have been developed along with blood flow imaging, which visualizes the amount of arterial and portal blood flow. The diagnosis of HCC differentiation is important for early-stage liver cancer screening and determination of treatment strategies.

Forecasting the progression of the disease in the early inflammatory stage of the most prevalent type of multiple sclerosis (MS), referred to as relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), is essential for making prompt treatment modifications, aimed to reduce clinical relapses and disability. In total, 58 patients with RRMS, having an Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score less than 4, were included in this study. Baseline magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed, and brain and spinal cord lesions were evaluated.

Dental inflammatory diseases remain a challenging clinical issue, whose causes and development are still not fully understood. During dental caries, bacteria penetrate the tooth pulp, causing pulpitis. To prevent pulp necrosis, it is crucial to promote tissue repair by recruiting immune cells, such as macrophages, able to secrete signal molecules for the pulp microenvironment and thus to recruit dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) in the damaged site.
