The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in vivo for the characterization of tissue changes associated with acute myocardial rejection after cardiac transplantation. Of 15 dogs that underwent heterotopic cardiac transplantation, six served as untreated controls, and nine received immunosuppressive therapy (25 mg/kg/day cyclosporine, 1 mg/kg/day...

This study was conducted with the aim of showing effect injecting D-Aspartic acid on characteristics semen, for Period 15/7/2021 until 15/10/2021 in animal farm/ Ruminant Hall Animal Production Department /College Agriculture / University Diyala. include 12 male Shami goat aged (1-1.3) years, an average weight (35-38) kg, were divided randomly to four equal groups (3/ group): first a control gr...

conclusions in the case of existence gaussian noise, the results confirm that denoising is not effective on the measurement of t2* value. in the case of image distortion by rician noise, a predictor model is proposed to estimate the original t2* value. the predictor model is used to estimate the t2* value of new patients. the predicted t2* values were in good agreement with the corresponding or...

BACKGROUND Inflammation plays a pivotal role in all stages of atherosclerosis. Since edema is known to be an integral part of inflammation, a noninvasive technique that can identify edema in the coronary artery wall may provide unique information regarding plaque activity. In this study, we aimed to determine whether edema induced in porcine coronary arteries by balloon injury could be reliably...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to explore the values of enhanced CT and oral contrast-enhanced ultrasonography on preoperative T stage in gastric carcinoma. METHODS Forty patients with gastric carcinoma, including 27 males and 13 females, were confirmed by endoscopy, operation, and pathology. The median age of these patients was 49 years old (25 to 73 years). There were 19 cases of well-...

If V is a vector space over some field F, then we have the well known exact sequence 0 → Λ2(V ) T2(V S2(V 0, where first map given by x∧y x⊗y−y⊗x and second x⊗y 7→ xy. The obvious generalization, an sequence, Λk(V T

BACKGROUND Iron-loaded cardiac complication is the essential cause of mortality in patients with thalassemia. Early detection and treatment of cardiac over-load can reduce mortality. OBJECTIVES The current study aimed to evaluate the relationship between serum ferritin levels and T2* magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of heart and liver and liver iron concentration (LIC) to diagnose iron over l...

Six multiparous lactating Egyptian buffaloes in their second and fourth season of lactation after their peak of milk production were used in two complete balanced period’s changeover design experiment during January to March. Three experimental rations (T1, T2 and T3) were fed in amounts to meet 100, 110 and 115 % of their AFRC (1993) metabolizable energy (ME) requirements. The protected fat (c...
