Feasibility and SNR Performance of Hyperpolarized 129Xe Gas Exchange Imaging Using a Balanced SSFP Sequence

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To develop a balanced SSFP (bSSFP) sequence for pulmonary 129Xe dissolved‐phase imaging based on a previously described double‐echo sequence facilitating separation into red blood cell and membrane signals, to test its feasibility and compare its SNR performance and imaging results to an analogous FLASH sequence.

Implementation of the Robson classification in clinical practice:Lithuania’s experience

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2017
Background To determine the cesarean section (CS) rate in Lithuania, identify the groups of women that influence it using the Robson classification and to determine the impact of implementing the use of the Robson classification on the CS rate.

Incomplete Spoiling Correction for 3D T1$$ {T}_1 $$ Mapping

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Assess the impact of incomplete spoiling and spatial saturation on T1$$ {T}_1 $$ mapping using the variable flip angle (VFA) spoiled gradient recalled echo sequence (SPGR). Develop a correction for incomplete spoiling that results in an accurate estimate of T1$$ {T}_1 $$, essential for quantitative MRI applications.

Analysis of caesarean section and neonatal outcome using the Robson classification in a rural district hospital in Tanzania: an observational retrospective study

BMJ Open, 2019
Objective Caesarean section (CS) rates have increased worldwide in recent decades. In 2015, the WHO proposed the use of the 10-group Robson classification as a global standard for assessing, monitoring and comparing CS rates both within healthcare ...

Asymmetry in the effect of North Atlantic sea surface temperature on the eddy‐driven jet

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Projections of climate over Europe and the Atlantic are uncertain due to the uncertainty surrounding future changes in North Atlantic sea surface temperatures (SSTs). Here, we demonstrate that warming in the North Atlantic Ocean is linked to a transition to a negative phase of the North Atlantic Oscillation, as well as to an equatorward displacement of

Analysis of Cesarean Section Rates in Minia University Maternity and Child Hospital Using Robson Classification; A cross–section study [PDF]

Minia Journal of Medical Research
The rate at which caesarean sections are performed is widely recognised as an indicator of the overall quality of maternal health services. The World Health Organization has recognised the Robson ten-group categorization system as the definitive method ...

High‐Dimensional Cumulative Sum Control Charts for Industrial Measurement Systems

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT High dimensional sensing in modern factories and energy assets produces thousands of correlated signals. Detecting small process shifts is challenging because many classical multivariate charts lose power or become unstable. We present two cumulative sum procedures for two sample monitoring that remain effective when the number of variables is

Variations in the use of oxytocin for augmentation of labour in Sweden: a population-based cohort study

Scientific Reports
National Swedish data shows substantial variation in the use of oxytocin for augmentation of spontaneous labour between obstetric units. This study aimed to investigate if variations in the use of oxytocin augmentation are associated with maternal and ...

Seeded Growth of Plasmonic Core‐Shell NU‐1000 NanoMOFs With Intracellular Optical Readout

Small, EarlyView.
Seed‐mediated growth yields plasmonic core‐shell nanocomposites by encapsulating gold nanoparticles within NU‐1000 nanoMOFs, preserving morphology and optical response. The materials exhibit tunable photoluminescence quenching, efficient photothermal heating, and SERS activity.

The Contribution of AIDA (Artificial Intelligence Dystocia Algorithm) to Cesarean Section Within Robson Classification Group

Journal of Imaging
Global cesarean section (CS) rates continue to rise, with the Robson classification widely used for analysis. However, Robson Group 2A patients (nulliparous women with induced labor) show disproportionately high CS rates that cannot be fully explained by
