A semi-automated segmentation method for detection of pulmonary embolism in True-FISP MRI sequences [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a highly mortal disease, currently assessed by pulmonary CT angiography. True-FISP MRI has emerged as an innocuous alternative that does not hold many of the limitations of x-ray imaging. However, True-FISP MRI is very sensitive to turbulent blood flow, generating artifacts that may resemble fake clots in the pulmonary ...

If it does not help, it might hurt: Pharmacodynamics of a second IVIg course in Guillain–Barré syndrome

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) is an effective treatment for Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS), but recovery varies between patients. This study aims to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of a single and a second IVIg dose (SID) in patients with GBS.

Sex-dependent influence of endogenous estrogen in pulmonary hypertension [PDF]

, 2014
Rationale: The incidence of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is greater in women suggesting estrogens may play a role in the disease pathogenesis. Experimentally, in males exogenously administered estrogen can protect against PH; however in models ...

Universal Proteomic Signature After Exercise‐Induced Muscle Injury in Muscular Dystrophies

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Several neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) are characterized by progressive muscle damage and are marked by the elevation of circulating muscle proteins from activity‐related injury. Despite a diverse array of genetic drivers, many NMDs share similar patterns of exercise intolerance and higher concentrations of muscle injury proteins ...

A Multiscale Framework for Defining Homeostasis in Distal Vascular Trees: Applications to the Pulmonary Circulation [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Coupling hemodynamics with vessel wall growth and remodeling (G&R) is crucial for understanding pathology at distal vasculature to study progression of incurable vascular diseases, such as pulmonary arterial hypertension. The present study is the first modeling attempt that focuses on defining homeostatic baseline values in distal pulmonary vascular ...
