Background: Ultrasound can influence the diagnosis and impact the treatment plan in critical patients. The aim of this study was to determine whether, without encountering major environmentor patient-related limitations, ultrasound examination under a critical care ultrasonography protocol can be performed to detect occult anomalies, to prompt urgent changes in therapy or induce further testing...

The objective of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of positron emission tomography/low-dose computed tomography (PET/ldCT) versus the same technique implemented by contrast-enhanced computed tomography (ceCT) in staging Hodgkin’s disease (HD). Forty patients (18 men and 22 women, mean age 30 9.6) with biopsy-proven HD underwent a PET/ldCT study for initial staging including an u...

The occurrence of the size-weight illusion is related to the manner in which objects are lifted. When the SWI occurs, the larger of two objects of equal objective weight is usually lifted with greater acceleration, deceleration, and maximum velocity than the smaller one, but to approximately the same height. These differences are not present when the cans feel equally heavy. The relationship of...

Hedgehog (Hh) proteins belong to a class of morphogens involved in many biological processes during embry-onic development; they are relatively silent during normal adult life although they may be recruited postnatally in re-sponse to tissue injury. Three secreted proteins have been identified: Sonic hedgehog (Shh), Desert hedgehog and Indianhedgehog. The interaction of Hh ligand wi...
