Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis: an epidemic of gadolinium toxicity
Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis is a devastating systemic fibrosing disorder that afflicts patients with renal dysfunction. Growing evidence supports the hypothesis that gadolinium-containing contrast agents (GCCAs) trigger the development of nephrogenic ...

Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis: Review of 408 biopsy-confirmed cases
Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) has now been virtually eliminated by the discovery of its association with gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) and the consequent reduced use of GBCA-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in severe renal ...

Magnetic resonance imaging as a non-invasive tool to investigate pulmonary and renal fibrosis in small rodents : method and readout validation, animal model optimization, and substance testing [PDF]
Pulmonary fibrosis, an end result of various types of lung damage including interstitial pneumonia and respiratory bronchiolitis (Gross and Hunninghake, 2001; Katzenstein and Myers, 1998; Lazenby et al., 1990) is a lethal disease characterized by ...

The nanoparticle consists of a 3 nm iron oxide core functionalized with an amphiphilic polymer coating containing Aβ‐targeting DSA moieties and biocompatible PEG chains. This design supports measurable transport in a BBB‐related model and specific interaction with Aβ species, while providing MRI contrast enhancement for diagnosis and therapeutic ...

Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis: A Rare Contemporary Case After a Decade of Declining Incidence
ABSTRACT Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is a rare fibrosing disorder associated with exposure to gadolinium‐based contrast agents in patients with renal impairment. Although its incidence has markedly declined since the restriction of high‐risk linear gadolinium agents, sporadic cases may still occur.

Recent Advances in Functional Liver Volumetry: Emphasis on 99mTc‐GSA SPECT/CT Fusion Imaging
Functional liver volumetry enables more accurate assessment of the future liver remnant by integrating anatomical and functional information, improving risk stratification before major hepatectomy. Among available techniques, 99mTc‐GSA SPECT/CT fusion imaging enables precise regional functional assessment and more reliable prediction of post ...
