چکیده
Foodborne botulism occurred among inmates at 2 prisons in California in 2004 and 2005. In the first outbreak, 4 inmates were hospitalized, 2 of whom required intubation. In the second event, 1 inmate required intubation. Pruno, an alcoholic drink made illicitly in prisons, was the novel vehicle for these cases.

INTRODUCTION As an auto-calibrated k-space parallel imaging method, GRAPPA (1) has shown its advantages in some applications when accurate coil sensitivity maps are difficult to obtain. However, there are two main drawbacks for GRAPPA, especially under large imaging acceleration. First, accurate data calibration requires many ACS (Auto-Calibration Signal) lines, which essentially lowers the act...
