چکیده

The closing sentence of Paul Lauterbur’s seminal article describing magnetic resonance imaging is “ Zeugmatigraphic (imaging) techniques should find many useful applications in studies of the internal structures, states, and compositions of microscopic objects” [1] – an obvious understatement about the impact MRI has had on modern medicine and science. MRI continues to deliver exciting new opportunities for discovery in science and medicine. Magnetic resonance histology, the topic of this presentation is an area in which we have seen dramatic advances over the last few years. Magnetic resonance histology (MRH), the study of tissue structurethrough the use of magnetic resonance imaging was first suggested in 1993 [2]. MRH provides several unique compliments to more traditional optical methods: MRH is nondestructive, is inherently digital and 3 dimensional, and provides particularly fascinating tissue contrast dependent proton sources and their environments in the tissue. This talk will describe the technology that has allowed us to acquire MR images at spatial resolution more than 1 million times that seen in clinical scanners, some of the unique sources of contrast, and some recent applications in genetics and neuroscience. 1.

O 12: The Pathophysiological Hallmarks of MS Beyond the Blood Brain Barrier: Myelination and Neuronal Network Interactions

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a complex disease resulting from the occurrence of intermingled episodes of neuro-inflammation and degeneration. The temporal and spatial patterns in which these events occur are not well understood as well as the molecular substrates underlying it. Myelin loss and gain, as well as axonal damage are considered crucial events influencing the course of the disease but t...

The effect of sugar cane molasses on the immune and male reproductive systems using in vitro and in vivo methods

Objective(s): Sugar cane molasses is a commonly used ingredient in several food products. Contrasting reports suggest that molasses may have potential adverse or beneficial effects on human health. However, little evidence exists that examines the effects of molasses on the different physiological systems. This study investigated the effects of sugar cane molasses on various physiological syste...
