background: to analyze the characteristic performance of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (mrs) and susceptibility weighted imaging (swi) in cerebral alve-olar echinococcosis (cae). methods: we retrospectively analyzed 10 clinical-identified cae cases mr per-formance, and summarized the mrs and swi performance of cae. results: the 10 cases of cae all had the history of primary hae, among who 6 c...

background: according to the angiographic findings, 3%-8% of atherosclerotic coronary artery patients suffer from coronary artery ectasia (cae). we conducted this study to estimate the prevalence of cae among patients who underwent angiography and compared this group with those patients without cae and atherosclerosis in terms of common coronary heart disease (chd) risk factors. methods : this ...

Background. Groin injuries are frequent and commonly seen in soccer. The Copenhagen Adduction Exercise (CAE) increases eccentric hip adduction strength and reduces the groin injury incident. Objectives. To assess the professional and semi-professional soccer players and coaches’ awareness, implementation, and opinion of the CAE. Methods. A cross-sectional study based on a survey consisting of...

Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a commonly diagnosed neurodegenerative disease among the elderly. Considering the limited symptomatic improvement associated with PD treatments, introduction of more effective agents is necessary. Citrus aurantium flower extract (CAE) is recognized as a neuroprotective and hepatoprotective agent with bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids, phenolics, a...

Previously, 5' deletion analysis revealed three important upstream regions within the regulatory region of the cAMP-induced, prespore gene SP60 of D. discoidium, each of which contains a CA-rich sequence element (CAE: consensus CACACAYYYCACACAAA/T). In this study, we have made site-directed mutations within these CAEs and examined their effect on reporter gene activity (luciferase or lacZ). Poi...

Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is defined as localized coronary dilatation, which exceeds the diameter of normal adjacent segments or the diameter of the patient's largest coronary vessel by 1.5 times. The pathophysiology of CAE remains unclear as its relationship with atherosclerosis remains only modestly established. The histological variances and conflicting reports of the role of traditional...

Background. Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) occurs in 0.3 to 5.3% of patients undergoing coronary angiography. TIMI frame count (TFC) is an index of coronary flow that correlates with flow velocity. In ectasia patients, there is delayed coronary flow with increased TFC. Methods. We evaluated angiograms of 789 patients for presence of CAE, coronary artery disease (CAD), and Markis type of CAE. We ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Since the γ-aminobutyric acid type-A receptor subunit γ2 gene (GABRG2) mutation was discovered in an Australian family with childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) and febrile convulsions, a few screening studies for the GABRG2 mutation have been conducted in sporadic individuals with CAE from other ethnic groups. The aim of this study was to determine whether or not the previou...

Research and/or Engineering Questions/Objective CAE methods such as FEM, CFD and MBD have been used in automobile industry widely. Simulation data and CAE knowledge are accumulated, which need to be managed more urgent than before. Simulation process such like boundary conditions, model setup and reporting need to be more standardized. At the same time, CAE methods need to be extended to produc...

BACKGROUND Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is a localized or diffuse abnormal dilatation of coronary arteries. Controversy still remains about its cardiovascular events rate, prognosis, and etiology. Adverse effects of CAE coinciding with coronary artery stenosis (CAS) (and in isolated form) are unclear. OBJECTIVES We aimed to investigate the cardiovascular event rate of CAE in comparison to 'C...
