A thorough description of perfusion analysis and basic DSC MR acquisition concepts has been described in the companion article to this article, which the interested reader may also find useful. DSC MR imaging requires an MR imaging pulse sequence that is sensitive to magnetic susceptibility changes to register the contrast concentration changes when GBCA passes through the capillary bed. Any pulse sequence that has T∗-weighting can be used to pick up these changes, provided that the sequence is fast enough to acquire an image of that slice of tissue at least every 1 to 2 second.

Comparative In vitro antibacterial activity of nemonoxacin and other fluoroquinolones in correlation with resistant mechanisms in contemporary methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus blood isolates in Taiwan.
Ann Clin Microbiol Antimicrob
January 2025
Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Internal Medicine, National Taiwan University Hospital, 7 Chung-Shan South Road, Taipei, 100, Taiwan.
Background: Nemonoxacin is a new quinolone with an antibacterial efficacy against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Certain sequence types (STs) have been emerging in Taiwan, including fluoroquinolone-resistant ST8/USA300. It's an urgent need to determine nemonoxacin susceptibility against ST8/USA300 and other emerging lineages, if any.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of structural sub-millimeter isotropic brain MRI at 0.55 T using a 3D half-radial dual-echo balanced steady-state free precession sequence, termed bSTAR and to assess its potential for high-resolution magnetization transfer imaging.
Methods: Phantom and in-vivo imaging of three healthy volunteers was performed on a low-field 0.
Molecular-level exploration of spatiotemporal dynamics of fluvial particulate organic carbon sources during storm events: Using a high-temporal resolution multi-biomarker approach.

Identifying the origins of storm fluvial particulate organic carbon (POC) provides information about the hydrological connectivity within the river corridor and the roles of the land-stream interface in the carbon cycle. However, current understanding of storm-induced POC source dynamics is constrained by observations limited in space and time. This study presents a unique approach integrating higher spatial and temporal resolution sampling with a multi-biomarker analysis to better understand POC source dynamics across scales.

The twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence is a rare complication associated with monochorionic twins. It is characterized by blood flow from the umbilical artery of the normal (pump) twin to the umbilical artery of the abnormal (acardiac) twin via artery-to-artery anastomosis. This condition is associated with 100% mortality in the acardiac twin and a high rate of perinatal morbidity and mortality in the pump twin, primarily due to intrauterine hypoxic injury, heart failure, and prematurity.

Objectives: In Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates, emerging meropenem resistance beyond imipenem resistance has become a problem. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between the in vivo acquisition of antimicrobial resistance in fluoroquinolone- and carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa clinical isolates, the underlying molecular mechanisms, and exposure to antimicrobial agents.
