Extrarenal malignant rhabdoid tumors (MRT) are extremely rare. There have been only a few cases of MRT described in the literature and even fewer in the radiology literature. We present rare uterine and hepatic MRT and their computed tomography, magnetic resonance, and ultrasound imaging features with histopathologic correlation. Although the final diagnosis is based largely on histopathology, ...

The symbiotic associations between rhizospheric fungi and plants have enormous environmental impact. Fungi are crucial to plant health as antagonists of pathogens and herbivores and facilitate the uptake of soil nutrients. However, little is known about the plant products obtained by fungi in exchange or how they are transported through the symbiotic interface. Here, we demonstrate that sucrose...

PURPOSE Malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT) is an early childhood cancer with poor prognosis. Trastuzumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody against human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2), has been shown to be effective against breast cancer and other cancers. We investigated the effect of trastuzumab on MRT cell lines. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We examined expression of HER-2 on four MRT cell l...

The MRT routing information export format represents an effective way of storing BGP routing information in binary dump files. Although a few tools exist to extract data from MRT dump files, most of them do not allow repacking or creating such MRT files. The MRT dump file manipulation toolkit (MDFMT) allows to repack parts of large MRT dump files containing BGP update messages into smaller ones...

PURPOSE Synchrotron microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) is an innovative irradiation modality based on spatial fractionation of a high-dose X-ray beam into lattices of microbeams. The increase in lifespan of brain tumor-bearing rats is associated with vascular damage but the physiological consequences of MRT on blood vessels have not been described. In this manuscript, we evaluate the oxygenation...

Since its introduction in the 1970s, magnetic rubber testing (MRT) has been used successfully to inspect critical high-strength steel aerospace components for surface-breaking fatigue cracks. In the residual-field variant of MRT, inspections are performed following the application and subsequent removal of a magnetic field, relying on the remanent magnetisation of the component to produce crack...

Malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT) is a rare and aggressive malignancy associated with poor outcomes. MRT of the liver is even rarer, and little information has been described. We report the case of an 8-month-old boy with MRT of the liver. The tumor showed aggressive progression despite a multidisciplinary approach, and the patient died due to multiple organ failure 14 days after admission. Autops...

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund: Ziel dieser Studie war es, über die charakteristischen Eigenschaften von zystischen Lymphangiomen der Brust in der Magnetresonanztomografie (MRT) zu berichten. Methoden: Die MRT der Brüste wurde mittels einer Phasenanordnung in einer doppelten Brustspule mit einem 1,5-T Magnetresonanzscanner durchgeführt. Routinemäßige sequenzielle T1und T2sowie Post-Kontrast-Bildge...

Mean Radiant Temperature (MRT) is a critical physical quantity that indicates how human beings experience radiation in their surrounding environment. If taken outdoors, MRT depends on the temperature of the sky, ground, vegetation and surrounding buildings, and is therefore difficult to predict reliably. An additional challenge for designers is that publically available simulation tools do not ...
