[structure: see text] A bimodal target-specific contrast agent based on a cyclic peptide containing the target-specific NGR sequence, gadolinium(III) diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Gd(III)DTPA), and Oregon Green 488 (OG488) suitable for both MR imaging and optical imaging of angiogenesis is developed. The synthetic strategy for this target-specific contrast agent exploits the use of highly...

While discussing with the writers the problem of treatment of leptospiral infection by synthetic drugs, Mr. Harold Walker, representative of Messrs. May and Baker, Ltd., suggested that the effectiveness of soluseptasine, which like other compounds of the sulphonamide group has earned a great reputation for its bactericidal properties, particularly in streptococcal infections, might be tested on...

This article presents data on the export of raw materials and results pharmacological studies caper buds for use in pharmaceutical industry. For this, volumes products last 2 years were studied preclinical aqueous-alcoholic extract obtained from local plant carried out comparison with reference preparations. As a result, has reliable hypoglycemic activity comparable to preparation “Gluqueir” ca...

Image registration is a necessary pre-processing step before quantitative analysis of brain MR data. A novel variational optical flow approach for image registration is proposed in this paper. The advantages of our method are as follows. We coupled bias correction and optical flow image registration within the unified variational framework. We could recover the corrected target image through th...

abstract background: a computer aided diagnosis system was established using the wavelet transform and neural network to differentiate malignant from benign in a   group of patients with histo-pathologically proved breast lesions based on the data derived independ­ently from time-intensity profile.   materials and methods: the per­formance of the artificial neural network (ann) was evaluated us...

introduction: one of the major causes of image non-uniformity in mri is due to the existence of  non-homogeneity in rf receive and transmit. this can be the most effective source of error in  quantitative  studies  in  mri  imaging.  part  of  this  non-homogeneity  demonstrates  the  characteristics of rf coil and part of it is due to the interaction of rf field with the material being  imaged...

Core-shell structured electrorheological (ER) and magnetorheological (MR) particles have attracted increasing interest owing to their outstanding field-responsive properties, including morphology, chemical and dispersion stability, and rheological characteristics of shear stress and yield stress. This study covers recent progress in the preparation of core-shell structured materials as well as ...
