Validation of the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) Risk of Bias Tool against the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale in epilepsy research

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Systematic reviews and meta‐analyses (SRMAs) are critical for synthesizing evidence and guiding clinical and public health decision‐making. This study aims to evaluate the reliability, validity and reproducibility of the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) Commission on Epidemiology Risk of Bias Tool by comparing it against ...

Validation of a handheld smartphone markerless gait‐analysis tool using an estimated groundline in horses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background A handheld smartphone‐based computer vision algorithm (RealHorse® [RH]) offers accessible alternatives for equine gait analysis but requires validation against a gold‐standard three‐dimensional multicamera optical motion capture system (Qualisys® [QS]).

Ivermectin Toxicity in Humans and Animals: Clinical Spectrum, Mechanisms, and Management

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ivermectin is a widely used macrocyclic lactone with established efficacy against a broad range of parasitic infections in humans and animals and a long‐standing reputation for clinical safety. However, increasing evidence indicates that ivermectin can produce clinically relevant toxicity under specific conditions, particularly involving the ...

Loa loa: More Than Meets the Eye? [PDF]

Trends in Parasitology, 2018
Filarial nematodes cause neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) such as river blindness, elephantiasis, and African eye worm. Global control and elimination efforts are well underway for the former two, and epidemiological models have played a crucial role in understanding the impact of interventions and guiding control policy.

Pulsatility Assessment of Cerebral Perforating Arteries Using Submillimeter‐Resolution Dual‐VENC Phase‐Contrast MRI at 3T

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dysfunction of cerebral perforating arteries is a major contributor to cerebral small vessel disease. Developing a reliable MRI technique for assessing cerebral perforating arteries on widely accessible 3T systems would be advantageous.

A historical note on an imported case of loiasis in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 1964

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2011
Loiasis is a filarial disease transmitted by the Chrysops spp. tabanid flies in West and Central Africa. It is most commonly diagnosed by the clinical manifestations of Calabar swellings (transient localized inflammatory edema) or, most dramatically, by ...

Proximal anatomical axes show bidirectional variability: Accurate tibial slope requires mechanical axis measurement

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To determine whether posterior tibial slope (PTS) measured to proximal anatomical axes can serve as a reliable proxy for PTS measured to the mechanical tibial axis (mTA). Methods In patients ≥18 years with failed anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, medial and lateral PTS were measured relative to the mTA on a lateral lower‐leg ...

Posterior tibial slope measurement on lateral radiographs shows increased variability, reduced repeatability and risk of misclassification in osteoarthritic versus nonosteoarthritic knees

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The primary aim was to compare the variability and repeatability of medial posterior tibial slope (MPTS) measurements on lateral knee radiographs between osteoarthritic (OA) and non‐OA knees, and the secondary aim was to assess their implications for clinical classification.

On‐Scanner Correction of Gradient Nonlinearity Bias for Accurate Assessment of Diffusion Heterogeneity Across Bone Sites in Myelofibrosis Patients

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To improve accuracy of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurement across different bone‐marrow (BM) sites for myelofibrosis (MF) patients. Methods Vendor‐provided ADC gradient nonlinearity correction (GNC) was implemented for 41 MF study subjects on a 3T clinical scanner.

Rapid Tissue‐CSF Water Exchange in the Human Brain Revealed by Magnetization Transfer Indirect Spin Labeling

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To apply the Magnetization Transfer Indirect Spin Labeling (MISL) MRI technique for quantifying tissue‐CSF water exchange in the human brain, and to investigate its utility in (1) evaluating tissue‐CSF water exchange within perivascular spaces (PVS), and (2) characterizing altered water exchange dynamics in pathologic conditions ...
