Introduction Radial fast spin-echo (Radial-FSE) methods have been used to produce high-resolution diffusion-weighted images that are insensitive to motion and/or magnetic field inhomogeneity [1,2]. However, one of the drawbacks of radial-FSE is the long acquisition time, compared to single shot echo planar imaging, required for high resolution images with sufficient signal to noise ratio (SNR)....

Commentary Febrile seizures are one of the more common conditions seen by child neurologists and were probably overtreated for many decades with medications such as phenobarbital. More recent years have seen child neurologists trained to reduce the amount of both treatments and diagnostic testing of children with febrile seizures, even when prolonged and classified as febrile status epilepticus...

BACKGROUND Quorum sensing (QS) plays an important role in the production of virulence factors and pathogenicity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and the interruption of QS will be a hopeful pathway to combat bacterial infection. OBJECTIVE In this study, we selected Forsythia suspense (Thunb.) Vahl from traditional Chinese herbal medicines for its anti-QS activity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Anti-QS of...

A study of final-state effects ~FSE! on the dynamic structure function of superfluid He in the GerschRodriguez formalism is presented. The main ingredients needed in the calculation are the momentum distribution and the semidiagonal two-body density matrix. The influence of these ground-state quantities on the FSE is analyzed. A variational form of r2 is used, even though simpler forms turn out...

INTRODUCTION: The Double Inversion Recovery Fast spin echo (DIR-FSE) sequence [1] is a key component of cardiac MR examination. It allows to homogenously suppress blood signal for a better depiction of the myocardium. Black blood imaging of the heart is usually performed during the mid-diastolic rest. This is a consequence of the long inversion time (TI) required to suppress the blood signal wh...

Feline spongiform encephalopathy (FSE) is a neurodegenerative disease, caused by a prion, that affects members of the cat family. Once the symptoms appear, this disease is invariably fatal. FSE is caused by the same agent that is responsible for bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle. BSE was first reported in the 1980s, when it caused an explosive epidemic among U.K. cattle. This dis...

Finite-scale equations (FSE) describe the evolution of finite volumes of fluid over time. We discuss the FSE for a one-dimensional compressible fluid, whose every point is governed by the Navier-Stokes equations. The FSE contain new momentum and internal energy transport terms. These are similar to terms added in numerical simulation for high-speed flows (e.g. artificial viscosity) and for turb...

Introduction: T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) is widely used in the clinical staging of prostate cancer and is typically performed using fast spin echo (FSE) imaging. While FSE reduces acquisition time compared to standard spin echo (SSE) imaging, it also produces image blurring that results from T2-related effects upon the point spread function not present with SSE. In the present study, we employe...
