Lateral one-dimensional imaging of cobalt ~Co! films by means of microscopic ferromagnetic resonance ~FMR! detected using the magnetic resonance force microscope ~MRFM! is demonstrated. A novel approach involving scanning a localized magnetic probe is shown to enable FMR imaging in spite of the broad resonance linewidth. We introduce a spatially selective local field by means of a small, magnet...

background: primary axillary hyperhidrosis (pah) is a common condition with a great impact on the patient’s quality of life (qol). it is associated with serious social, emotional, and occupational distress. the aim of this study was to investigate the qol in patients with pah before and after treatment with fractionated microneedle radiofrequency (fmr). materials and methods: we evaluated 25 pa...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Percutaneous leaflet repair with the MitraClip device (Abbott Vascular, Menlo Park, CA) is safe and effective in patients severe functional mitral regurgitation (FMR). Residual or recurrent MR may occur up to 40% associated persistent symptoms impaired survival. The anatomical characteristics residual after are not well...

We used the doubly labeled water (DLW) method to measure field metabolic rate (FMR) and water turnover during winter and summer in a very small (6.5 g) insectivorous desert passerine bird, the verdin (Auriparus flaviceps). Concurrently, we monitored weather conditions and used time-activity budget data of free-living birds and laboratory data on resting metabolic rate to construct time-activity...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Most studies concerning imaging of pain processing have used thermal, chemical, or electrical nociceptive stimulation. The aim of the present study was to determine the cortical representation of mechanical pain. For this, using functional MR (fMR) imaging at 1.5 T, we compared activation patterns during painful and nonpainful tonic mechanical stimulation in healthy volun...

OBJECTIVES Hypoxia in solid tumors occurs when metabolic demands in tumor cells surpass the delivery of oxygenated blood. We hypothesize that the 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) metabolism and tumor blood flow mismatch would correlate with tumor hypoxia. METHODS Liver perfusion computed tomography (CT) and 18F-FDG positron emission tomography (PET) imaging were performed in twelve rabbit liv...

Previous studies show that the position of centre of body mass (cmbody) and the ratio of flight muscle to total body mass (flight muscle ratio, FMR) are good predictors of flight speed and manoeuvrability in butterflies. However, cmbody, FMR, and related morphometric traits are strongly correlated phenotypically, making it difficult to identify the causal determinants of flight performance. By ...

A vanadium dioxide VO2 film shows metal-insulator transition (MIT) induced by changing environmental temperature. We report the temperature dependence of electromotive force properties generated in VO2/Ni80Fe20 bilayer junctions under ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) Ni80Fe20 layer. An a junction FMR showed small change across MIT film, while resistance drastically changed. This behavior was not o...

In classical functional linear models the relationship between the scalar response and the functional predictor process is often assumed to be identical for all subjects. Motivated by both practical and methodological considerations, we relax this assumption and propose a new class of functional regression models that allow the regression structure to vary for different groups of subjects. By a...

OBJECT The goal of this study was to determine the somatotopical structure-function relationships of the primary motor cortex in individual patients by using functional magnetic resonance (fMR) imaging. This was done to assess whether there is a displacement of functional areas compared with anatomical landmarks in patients harboring brain tumors close to the central region, and to validate the...
