Standards and Incentives under Moral Hazard with Limited Liability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
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.

Improved efficiency and diagnostic utility of inpatient transthoracic echocardiography following implementation of a sonographer-initiated perflutren-based contrast administration protocol

open access: yesCardiovascular Ultrasound, 2020
Background Up to 20% of resting echocardiograms obtained are suboptimal leading to further downstream testing and delays in diagnosis. Contrast enhanced echocardiography is well established and endorsed for use by the American Society of Echocardiography

Pump-probe scheme for optical coherence tomography using indocyanine green mixed with albumin or human plasma [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
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

open access: yesMaterials Research Express, 2020
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 ...

Caught in the act: Allergic-like reaction to gadolinium-based contrast agent in POEMS syndrome

open access: yesRadiology Case Reports, 2020
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.
