iron overload is a clinical problem which can be prevented by using iron chelating agents. an alternative method of relieving iron overload is to reduce iron absorption from the intestine by administering specific iron chelating agents, which can bind iron to form nonabsorbable complexes. based on this strategy, a series of polymeric ligands containing the chelating moiety 3-hydroxypyridin-4-on...

Nitrogen vacancy (NV) color centers in diamond are a leading modality for both superresolution optical imaging and nanoscale magnetic field sensing. In this work, we address the key challenge of performing optical magnetic imaging and spectroscopy selectively on multiple NV centers that are located within a diffraction-limited field-of-view. We use spin-RESOLFT microscopy to enable precision na...

background: so far, non-invasive diagnostic approaches such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, or blood tests do not have sufficient diagnostic power for endometriosis disease. lack of a non-invasive diagnostic test contributes to the long delay between onset of symptoms and diagnosis of endometriosis. objective: the present study focuses on the identification of predictive biomarkers i...

calcifying aponeurotic fibroma (caf) is a rare, benign fibroblastic tumor that typically occurs in the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, in children and adolescents. due to its infiltrative nature, this tumor can mimic malignancy on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and has a predilection for local recurrence. there are very few reports in the literature that describe featur...

A hydrogen-bonding interaction between phenobarbital or pentobarbital with phosphatidylcholine in chloroform is indicated by the effects of added phosphatidylcholine on the infrared and proton magnetic resonance spectra of these barbiturates. The nitrogenbound proton of the barbiturate and the orthophosphate moiety of the phosphatidylcholine molecule appear to be involved. The more pronounced e...

BACKGROUND Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to determine the effects of intravenous cocaine or placebo administration on human basal ganglia water and metabolite resonances. METHODS Long echo time, proton magnetic resonance spectra of water and intracellular metabolites were continuously acquired from an 8-cm(3) voxel centered on the left caudate and putamen nuclei before, duri...

The purpose of this article is show the role of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), associated with magnetic resonance images, in the study of non-neoplastic disorders, helping in diagnosis and better characterization of the nature of the lesion. Herein, we analyzed single voxel proton spectroscopy in eight different non-neoplastic lesions, displayed in six categories (infectious, isc...

Schizophrenic patients undergoing proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy show alterations in N-acetyl aspartate levels in several brain regions, indicating neuronal dysfunction. The present review focuses on the main proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies in the frontal lobe of schizophrenics. A MEDLINE search, from 1991 to March 2004, was carried out using the key-words spectroscopy an...
