To the Editor: We read with interest the comments of Lippi et al (1 ) who questioned the reproducibility and difficulty of standardization when we (2 ) used platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the thrombin generation assay (TGA). We evaluated the use of TGA to identify patients needing further specific thrombophilic risk factor testing (2 ). For this, we used frozen-thawed (ftPRP). PRP was obtained b...

The Sasang typology, traditional Korean personalized medicine, divides people into four Sasang types and suggests type-specific medical herbs and acupuncture for more safe and effective treatment. The main idea of Sasang typology seems relatively simple; however, the Sasang type diagnosis and type-specific treatment in clinical situation has been difficult for the clinicians and researchers. Th...

Background. The congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (L-TGA) is a very rare congenital heart defect, which often remains undetected for several decades of life. Case Presentation. We report on a 45-year-old man without prior history of heart disease, presenting with cardiac shock related to a first episode of tachycardic atrial fibrillation. The diagnostic work-up identifi...

A porous lignin-containing hydrogel was developed for dye removal via graft copolymerization of acetic acid lignin (AAL) and acrylamide (AAm), in the presence of ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as a crosslinker and H2O2 as an initiator. AAL was characterized by FT-IR and TGA. After being washed to remove impurities, the hydrogel was characterized by FT-IR, TGA, SEM, and swelling ratio. FT...

Results: Three patients with a history of TGA were subsequently diagnosed as having PPA. All patients had recurrent attacks of TGA. The diagnoses of PPA were supported by speech pathology evaluations, neuropsychometric testing results, and imaging findings. Positron emission tomography revealed left posterior frontal hypometabolism in 1 patient and predominantly left temporal parietal hypometab...

Background Diastolic function has been little explored in d-transposition of the great arteries palliated by atrial switch (d-TGA). However, early detection of diastolic dysfunction could be of major clinical interest and could explain clinical status in this population. We aimed: 1/ to characterize diastolic function in d-TGA after atrial switch from velocity encoded cardiac magnetic resonance...

L-transposition of the great arteries (L-TGA) is a rare congenital anomaly and could cause complete atrioventricular (AV) block at relatively younger age. We present a case of 43-year-old male who complained of dizziness due to complete AV block. We confirmed L-TGA using transthoracic echocardiography and cardiac computed tomography. Permanent pacemaker was inserted without complications. No in...

Figure S1. Photoluminescence spectra of CdSe/CdS nanocrystals (NCs) in (a) nanocrystal conjugate, linked with thioglycolic acid (TGA), upon correction for the contribution from Ga2O3 NC emission, (b) pure CdSe/CdS nanocrystal suspension, and (c) mixture of Ga2O3 and CdSe/CdS NCs without the TGA linker. The concentrations of CdSe/CdS NCs are identical in all panels, and are expressed in (a) as a...

Transient global amnesia (TGA) is an episodic dysfunction of declarative memory that usually resolves within 12 hours and whose underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are still unclear. Recent studies, on the basis of transient focal high-signal abnormalities in the hippocampus on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), suggest involvement of memory circuits in the temporo-mesial region. Out of a t...
