Relationship between body mass index‐to‐thigh circumference ratio and incident hypertension among community‐dwelling persons

Journal of General and Family Medicine, EarlyView.
Receiver‐operating characteristics curve analysis to identify optimal BMI‐to‐thigh ratio to distinguish subjects with hypertension in the cross‐sectional and cohort data. Abstract Background The incidence of hypertension is increasing worldwide. Recent studies have suggested that smaller thighs are a disadvantage for health and survival, but the ...

Impact of New Portal Reconstruction Strategy on Portal Vein Growth and Outcomes in Living‐Donor Liver Transplantation for Small Children With Biliary Atresia

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Purpose We evaluated the outcomes of a new reconstruction method that we adopted in 2017 for small children with biliary atresia, involving aggressive resection of the sclerotic portal vein (PV), larger anastomotic orifice, and proactive vein graft interposition.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Clinical Evaluation of Lung Disorders: Current Status and Future Prospects

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The low proton density and high signal decay rate of pulmonary tissue have previously hampered the application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the clinical evaluation of lung disorders. With the continuing technical advances in scanners, coils, pulse sequences, and image postprocessing, pulmonary MRI can provide structural and ...

Repeatability of Magnetic Resonance Elastography‐Derived Mechanical Parameters in Intracranial Meningiomas

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) quantifies tissue viscoelasticity, offering insights into intracranial meningiomas. MRE‐derived parameters, including the storage modulus (G') and the magnitude of the complex modulus (|G*|), may aid neurosurgical planning, but their repeatability remains unexplored in brain tumors.

Preoperative Multifrequency MR Elastography for Stratifying Wnt/β‐Catenin Pathway and Microvascular Invasion Phenotypes in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway and microvascular invasion (MVI) are associated with the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Purpose To evaluate the Wnt/β‐catenin pathway and MVI states using preoperative MR elastography (MRE). Study Type Prospective.
