Rationale And Objectives: The authors determine the feasibility of dynamic magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the diagnosis of groin hernia.
Methods: Ten volunteers and 10 patients with clinically evident and surgically proven herniations were evaluated using T1-, and T2-weighted sequences and two dynamic sequences. The visibility of anatomic structures that are crucial for the assessment and the differentiation of inguinofemoral herniations was evaluated.
Results: The inguinal rings could be identified in all subjects. The inferior epigastric vessels could be identified in 85%. In 10 patients, 11 hernias were found at MR imaging, whereas at surgery and physical examination 13 herniations were diagnosed (84.6%). The two hernias that were missed initially could be identified retrospectively on MR imaging. One volunteer showed a small bilateral inguinal hernia on MR imaging that could be confirmed on physical examination.
Conclusions: The anatomic structures that are crucial for the assessment and the differentiation of inguinofemoral herniations can be identified prospectively with MR imaging.

A particle current generated by pumping in the absence of gradients in potential energy, density or temperature is associated with non-trivial dynamics. A representative example is charge pumping that is associated with the quantum Hall effect and the quantum anomalous Hall effect. Spin pumping, the spin equivalent of charge pumping, refers to the emission of a spin current by magnetization dynamics.

Dispersal plays a crucial role in the development and ecology of biofilms. While extensive studies focused on elucidating the molecular mechanisms governing this process, few have characterized the associated temporal changes in composition and structure. Here, we employed solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques to achieve time-resolved characterization of Bacillus subtilis biofilms over a 5-day period.

The tetragonal heavy-fermion superconductor CeRh_{2}As_{2} (T_{c}=0.3 K) exhibits an exceptionally high critical field of 14 T for B∥c. It undergoes a field-driven first-order phase transition between superconducting states, potentially transitioning from spin-singlet to spin-triplet superconductivity.

In cardiovascular research, electromagnetic fields generated by Riga plates are utilized to study or manipulate blood flow dynamics, which is particularly crucial in developing treatments for conditions such as arterial plaque deposition and understanding blood behavior under varied flow conditions. This research predicts the flow patterns of blood enhanced with gold and maghemite nanoparticles (gold-maghemite/blood) in an electromagnetic microchannel influenced by Riga plates with a temperature gradient that decays exponentially, under sudden changes in pressure gradient. The flow modeling includes key physical influences like radiation heat emission and Darcy drag forces in porous media, with the flow mathematically represented through unsteady partial differential equations solved using the Laplace transform (LT) method.
