Enhancing Study Design and Analysis of MR Imaging Markers Through Measurement Error Modeling
ABSTRACT Background Measurement error in imaging reduces statistical power and potentially biases parameter estimation, compromising study reliability. Purpose To introduce a dual data collection design (reliability and main datasets) to quantify measurement error and apply regression calibration to correct error‐prone imaging markers, thereby ...

The Importance of Patient Positioning in Radiography When Utilising Automatic Exposure Control
This study highlights the impact of inaccurate patient positioning on dose and image quality when utilising the automatic exposure control (AEC) for radiographic examinations. While the AEC serves to optimise radiation dose to patients, the results here demonstrate that poor positioning can lead to significant dose implications for patients.

Sonographic imaging is used to identify the presence, number and location of malignant lymph nodes. Axillary lymph nodes suspicious of harbouring breast cancer metastasis can be localised to three surgical axillary levels. This paper will unpack the axillary anatomy, muscular sonographic landmarks, surgical axillary lymph node levels and the ...

Preoperative visceral fat and muscle loss after cardiovascular surgery: A retrospective cohort study
Abstract Background Patients with visceral obesity experience an amplified systemic inflammatory response during the perioperative period, increasing infection risk. Significant skeletal muscle loss following invasive cardiovascular surgery presents a considerable clinical challenge.

ABSTRACT Rosuvastatin (RVS) is an HMG‐CoA reductase inhibitor with lipid‐lowering properties. This study aims to investigate the role of RVS in plaque formation in atherosclerosis (AS) and its functional mechanism. ApoE−/− mice were fed a high‐fat diet to generate a mouse model of AS.
