Biomarkers of coronary endothelial health: correlation with invasive measures of collateral function, flow and resistance in chronically occluded coronary arteries and the effect of recanalization [PDF]
Objectives: In the presence of a chronically occluded coronary artery, the collateral circulation matures by a process of arteriogenesis; however, there is considerable variation between individuals in the functional capacity of that collateral network ...

Formation of Pancreatoduodenal Fistula in Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm of the Pancreas Decreased the Frequency of Recurrent Pancreatitis [PDF]
Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) of the pancreas are characterized by proliferation of mucin-secreting cells in the main pancreatic duct (PD) or its branches. The secreted thick mucin usually leads to PD obstruction and dilation.

ABSTRACT Background The diagnostic performance of clinical diagnostic criteria for IgG4‐related sclerosing cholangitis 2020 (IgG4‐SC2020) has not been fully validated since its proposal as a revision of the 2012 criteria (IgG4‐SC2012). Methods We conducted a multicenter validation study to evaluate the diagnostic performance of IgG4‐SC2020 using ...

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 ...
