Standards and Incentives under Moral Hazard with Limited Liability [PDF]
We consider a model of moral hazard with limited liability of the agent and effort that is two-dimensional. One dimension of the agent’s effort is observable and the other is not.

Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles with Co-Condensed Gadolinium Chelates for Multimodal Imaging
Several mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN) contrast agents have been synthesized using a co-condensation method to incorporate two different Gd3+ complexes at very high loadings (15.5–28.8 wt %).

CardioMEMS Implantation Using Gadolinium-based Contrast Agent: A Case Report
A 57-year-old woman with New York Heart Association Class III heart failure requiring multiple hospitalisations over the previous year presented for CardioMEMS implantation. Because of the patient’s allergy history of anaphylaxis to iodine-based contrast

Pump-probe scheme for optical coherence tomography using indocyanine green mixed with albumin or human plasma [PDF]
Use of indocyanine green (ICG) in a pump-probe scheme for OCT is proposed. The study illustrates that ICG in protein solution shows unusual pump-probe imaging potential, indicating its usefulness as a contrast agent for ...

Manganese ferrite nanocubes as an MRI contrast agent
Facile synthesis of superparamagnetic, highly crystalline, manganese ferrite nanocubes (MnNCs) is reported. X-ray diffraction depicts single-phase face-centred cubic spinel and the electron microscopy represents the nearly monodispersed cube-like ...

The use of contrast enhancement in the diagnosis of simple and complex cysts kidneys
In developed countries, the main methods of research and dynamic monitoring of cystic kidney formations are CT and MRI, but their use is impossible in patients with severe concomitant diseases, as well as in the presence of metal structures, pacemakers ...

Caught in the act: Allergic-like reaction to gadolinium-based contrast agent in POEMS syndrome
POEMS syndrome is a rare paraneoplastic condition related to an abnormal proliferation of plasma cells. Allergic-type reactions to gadolinium-based MR contrast media are likewise uncommon adverse events.
