Clinical significance of obesity index (VFA versus BMI) as a risk factor for gastric cancer surgery.

, 2012
139 Background: Obesity is considered as a major perioperative risk factor in various cancer surgeries. We aimed to elucidate the effect of two different obesity index, such as VFA (visceral fat area) and BMI (body mass index), on gastrectomy. Methods:

Cartesian MPnRAGE for Efficient Simultaneous Multi‐Contrast and Quantitative Relaxometry Imaging

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 96, Issue 5, Page 2350-2358, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose T1‐weighted images with different weighting and T1 quantification can be useful in the differentiation of both native and pathologic tissue; however, acquiring multiple images requires substantial time. A rapid and robust brain imaging sequence was developed to simultaneously provide quantitative T1 maps and multiple T1‐weighted images.

Phase‐Sensitive Modeling Improves Fat DESPOT Multiparametric Relaxation Mapping in Fat‐Water Mixtures

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 96, Issue 5, Page 2336-2349, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose To improve on a multiparametric technique—known as Fat DESPOT—to map the fat‐ and water‐specific R1 (R1f, R1w), R2*, and proton density fat fraction (PDFF) by upgrading the parameter initialization and introducing explicit model sensitivity to the complex phase of the water and fat signals.

New sagittal abdominal diameter and transverse abdominal diameter based equations to estimate visceral fat area in type 2 diabetes patients

BMC Public Health
Objective Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are considered gold standards for measuring visceral fat area (VFA). However, their relatively high prices and potential radiation exposure limit their widespread use in clinical ...

Comparison of VFA titration procedures used for monitoring the biogas process

, 2014
Titrimetric determination of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) contents is a common way to monitor a biogas process. However, digested manure from co-digestion biogas plants has a complex matrix with high concentrations of interfering components, resulting in ...

Fast and robust T1 mapping based on a 3D dual‐echo UTE sequence (PETALUTE) for superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (SPION) biodistribution assessment

Medical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Background Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), such as ferumoxytol, are promising theranostic agents that can be assessed with MRI. Relaxation time mapping can provide reproducible and quantitative biomarkers of SPION distribution, suitable for longitudinal and cross‐individual studies.

Putting a price on mission: Social responsibility orientation and startup employment

Strategic Management Journal, Volume 47, Issue 10, Page 2766-2791, October 2026.
Abstract Research Summary Social responsibility‐oriented (SRO) employers are widely understood to enjoy advantages in recruitment and hiring, yet most evidence comes from temporary or hypothetical employment contexts. We test for such advantages using microdata on a structured recruitment process in which startups hired full‐time employees.
