Motion Mitigation Techniques for Abdominal and Cardiac MR Imaging
ABSTRACT MRI of the heart and abdominal organs provides unparalleled soft tissue contrast and quantitative biomarkers, yet remains highly susceptible to physiological motion. Contractions of the myocardium, respiratory excursions, peristalsis, vascular pulsatility, and unpredictable bulk patient movement generate artifacts that impair image quality ...

Fetal Ductal Constriction, Pulmonary Hypertension and Atrial Septum Mobility
Objectives Fetuses with ductal constriction (FDC), pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular overload after maternal exposure to PGE2 inhibitors—nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or polyphenols (PF)—have increased septum primum excursion index (SPEI), the ratio between maximal septum primum displacement and left atrial diameter.

MiR‐145‐5p Attenuates Doxorubicin‐Induced Heart Injury Through Targeting Cardiomyocyte Pyroptosis
ABSTRACT Doxorubicin (DOX), a potent anthracycline chemotherapeutic, exhibits dose‐dependent cardiotoxicity that limits its clinical utility. Although miR‐145‐5p demonstrates cardioprotective properties in cardiovascular diseases, its role in DOX‐induced cardiomyopathy remains undefined.

ABSTRACT Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus. This study investigated the effects of alogliptin on DCM and its underlying mechanisms. A DCM model was constructed and treated with alogliptin. Downstream targets of alogliptin were screened using bioinformatics analysis.
