FMRI Approaches to Mapping Cerebrovascular Reactivity: Comparison of Gradient Echo BOLD and Spin Echo BOLD With Arterial Spin Labeling

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To compare markers of cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) measured with Gradient Echo (GE, T2*w) and Spin‐Echo (SE, T2w) BOLD fMRI with quantitative physiological CVR measured using ASL. Methods CVR, the ability of blood vessels to dilate and increase cerebral blood flow (CBF), can be investigated with ASL fMRI but has a low signal‐to ...

Free‐Breathing Magnetization Transfer Imaging of the Lung at 0.55 T Using bSTAR

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To develop a clinically applicable method for magnetization transfer (MT) imaging of the lung at 0.55 T. Methods MT imaging of the chest was explored in healthy volunteers at 0.55 T using a self‐gated 3D half‐radial dual‐echo balanced steady‐state free precession sequence (bSTAR), a 2D multi‐slice gradient echo method (GRE) acquired in

Characterization of Fuel Rods Supported by Dimple‐Less Spacer Grids and Subjected to Nonlinear Vibrations

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An experimental campaign was undertaken to demonstrate the applicability of the Bouc–Wen hysteretic model to describe the hysteretic system of the recent Framatome dimple‐less spacer grid design for Pressurized Water Reactors. The experimental setup subjected a reduced‐length fuel rod, supported at both ends by dimple‐less grids, to forced ...

Interrelationships among handgrip strength, body composition, physical activity, and quality of life in adults with cystic fibrosis: A cross‐sectional study

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF), lean mass and muscle strength are important predictors of clinical outcomes. This study evaluated associations among body composition, handgrip strength, muscle quality, physical activity, and health‐related quality of life in CF. Methods This observational, cross‐sectional study included 27

Sarcopenia Risk is Associated With Decreased Swallow Safety in Patients With Dysphagia

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Sarcopenia, characterized by the loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength, is associated with adverse health outcomes in older adults. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between sarcopenia risk, handgrip strength, and swallowing function in patients with dysphagia undergoing Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (
