red mud (rm), a waste tailing from alumina production, (as an important environmental problem), can be used as a strong absorbent pollutant. in this study, the modified red mud (mrm) and pillared clay (pilc) were used for the removal of arsenate from water. the modified red mud (mrm) and pilc complex were characterized using xrd, sem and xrf microanalysis. the adsorption of arsenate on modified...

Absorbable polymers are unique materials that find application as temporary scaffolds in tissue engineering. They are often extremely sensitive to histological processing and, for this reason, studying fragile, tissue-engineered constructs before implantation can be quite difficult. This research investigates the use of noninvasive imaging using magnetic resonance microscopy (MRM) as a tool to ...

INTRODUCTION The use of conventional imaging techniques, namely mammography (MMG) and ultrasound (US), for breast cancer (BC) detection in women at high risk for the disease does not bring optimal results in many cases. AIM The present study evaluated the effectiveness of magnetic resonance (MR) mammography (MRM) in cases where US and MMG failed to detect suspected breast lesions. MATERIAL ...

STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional retrospective study designed to assess interobserver agreement. PURPOSE To investigate if interobserver agreement using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the evaluation of lumbar spinal canal stenosis and root compression can be improved upon combination with magnetic resonance myelography (MRM). OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE The interpretation of lumbar spinal MRI, ...

BACKGROUND US Asian women with early-stage breast cancer are more likely to receive a modified radical mastectomy (MRM) than White women, contrary to clinical recommendations regarding breast conserving treatment (BCT). METHODS We surveyed physicians regarding treatment decision-making for early-stage breast cancer, particularly as it applies to Asian patients. Physicians were identified thro...

A latent transition analysis (LTA) model was described with a mixture Rasch model (MRM) as the measurement model. Unlike the LTA, which was developed with a latent class measurement model, the LTA-MRM permits within-class variability on the latent variable, making it more useful for measuring treatment effects within latent classes. A simulation study indicated that model recovery using the LTA...
