BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We obtained magnetization transfer imaging (MTI) scans from individuals with cerebral autosomal-dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) (1) to investigate the presence, extent, and nature of pathology in white and gray matter outside proton density (PD)-visible lesions; (2) to quantify the degree of tissue damage occurring in lesi...

Perineural spread of tumour cells along cranial nerves is a severe complication of primary cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck region. While surgical excision of the tumour is the treatment of choice, removal of all the tumour is often complicated by the neural location and recurrence is frequent. Non-invasive immune treatments such as checkpoint inhibitor blockade may be us...

OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine the impact of quantity and location of aortic valve calcification (AVC) on paravalvular regurgitation (PVR) and rates of post-dilation (PD) immediately after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). BACKGROUND The impact of AVC in different locations within the aortic valve complex is incompletely understood. METHODS This study analyzed 150 pa...

Background: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) for the treatment of end-stage renal failure was introduced in the 1960s. Nowadays it has evolved to an established therapy that is complementary to hemodialysis (HD), representing 11% of all patients treated worldwide with dialysis. Despite good clinical outcomes and similar results in patient survival between PD and HD, the penetration of PD is decreasing ...

BACKGROUND Exposure to air pollution has been implicated in a number of adverse health outcomes, and the effect of particulate matter (PM) on the brain is beginning to be recognized. OBJECTIVES We aimed to examine whether exposure to PM air pollution is related to risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS), a large prospective cohort of U.S. men. MET...

Abstract INTRODUCTION Surgical approach to peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheters is the main step in achieving successful PD therapy. It important conduct a simple and safe procedure, with adequate visualization of path location catheter, avoid discontinuation PD. The tunneled laparoscopic catheter (TLPDC) reliable surgical alternative patients who are candidates for MATERIAL AND METHODS This retr...

Warmer spring temperatures and a growing body of literature on the importance timely planting have resulted in many growers Michigan other northern U.S. states soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. However, there is limited research informing how management practices should be adjusted based date (PD). Field experiments were conducted at two locations using split-plot design during 2018 2019 season...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disease that usually affects individuals over 50 years of age. Age at onset in a small subset of PD cases is considerably lower, and these are considered early-onset PD (EOPD) patients. Most PD cases appear sporadic, but approximately 15% are familial, and some of the familial cases exhibit Mendelian inheritance. Genetic analysis of fami...
