ABSTRACT The indications for liver transplantation continue to expand to meet the growing need of patients with end‐stage liver disease and select hepatic malignancies. Living donor liver transplantation allows for access to transplant with recipient outcomes superior to deceased donor liver transplantation.

4D Flow MRI Velocity and Turbulence Mapping in Mild Valvular Heart Disease
ABSTRACT Background Valvular heart disease (VHD) commonly leads to the development of turbulent blood flow. Turbulent kinetic energy (TKE), measured with 4D flow MRI, may be a complement to current metrics for early identification of VHD. Purpose To investigate TKE as a marker of VHD in relation to flow velocity and cardiovascular geometry.

ABSTRACT Background Carotid artery stenosis is a major cause of stroke. Non‐contrast MR angiography (MRA) using time‐spatial labeling inversion pulse (Time‐SLIP) may offer potential advantages over 3D time‐of‐flight (TOF)‐MRA for simultaneous visualization of carotid, vertebral, and subclavian arteries, but remains uninvestigated.

Body Temperature Regulation in the Rat by Muscle Tone
ABSTRACT Aim We have previously described an important role of skeletal muscle tone in body temperature regulation, muscle tone defined as the tonic motor unit activity recorded between movements. Here, we study muscle tone in an extensive sample of new muscles outside (external muscles) and inside (internal muscles) the body core.
