Scanning techniques in computed body tomography [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Roentgenology, 1978
Clinical examinations with the whole body CT scanner require considerable individualization of examination technique in relation to specific organs, anatomic areas, and clinical problems. Careful selection of radiographic factors, patient position, contrast agents, and pharmacologic adjuncts will optimize diagnostic results and patient throughput.

Force Feedback Assistance in Remote Ultrasound Scan Procedures

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
In this contribution, we approached a new aspect in robotic applications. We investigated human–machine modeling for remote ultrasound scan equipment. While robotic systems for ultrasound scan applications with remote operations have been widely studied,

Stratification by Smoking Status Reveals an Association of CHRNA5-A3-B4 Genotype with Body Mass Index in Never Smokers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We previously used a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the CHRNA5-A3-B4 gene cluster associated with heaviness of smoking within smokers to confirm the causal effect of smoking in reducing body mass index (BMI) in a Mendelian randomisation analysis.

Is 3–4 weeks required for TSH to rise post thyroidectomy? A prospective study and discussion of its implications on patient care

open access: yesIndian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2019
Context: In patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), for the purpose of radioiodine (131I) whole-body scan and treatment of remnant, or residual tumor, or metastatic disease, thyroid hormone withdrawal remains the standard approach for raising ...

Clinical and Biological Features of Response in Resistant Neuroblastoma to 131I‐Metaiodobenzylguanidine Radiotherapy in the Anti‐GD2 Immunotherapy Era

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background 131I‐metaiodobenzylguanidine (131I‐MIBG) radiotherapy is a key treatment for relapsed and refractory (R/R) neuroblastoma (NB). Patients with R/R disease treated in the modern era are increasingly exposed to anti‐GD2 immunotherapy, which exerts selective pressure and may modify both tumor cell state and microenvironment.

The association of a SNP upstream of INSIG2 with body mass index is reproduced in several but not all cohorts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A SNP upstream of the INSIG2 gene, rs7566605, was recently found to be associated with obesity as measured by body mass index (BMI) by Herbert and colleagues.

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

A Comparative Evaluation of the Body Fat Percentage using Bioelectrical Impedance Analyser, Skin-fold Thickness Measurement and BMI [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2019
Introduction: As there is a global increase in the number of people with obesity world-wide, there is an increasing need for estimation of body composition especially, the calculation of Body Fat (BF) percentage for treatment and prevention of obesity ...
