BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE (18)F-FDOPA PET demonstrates higher sensitivity and specificity for gliomas than traditional [(18)F] FDG PET imaging. However, PET provides limited anatomic localization. The purpose of this study was to determine whether (18)F-FDOPA PET/MRI fusion can provide precise anatomic localization of abnormal tracer uptake and how this activity corresponds to MR signal abnormalit...

in which the second derivative may occur nonlinearly. Positive solutions for the case f (t,u,u′,u′′) = g(t)h(u) have been studied by Ma [15] and Webb [20, 21], when f (t,u,u′,u′′) = h(t,u) by He and Ge [5] and also by Lan [11]. The case f (t,u,u′,u′′) = g(t)h(u,u′) has been studied by Feng [4]. The results in [4, 15] are obtained by means of Krasnosel’skiı̆’s theorem [8], the ones in [5] use Leg...

Objective To compare specificity and sensitivity of a commercially available fixed cell-based assay (F-CBA) to radioimmunoprecipitation (RIPA) for acetylcholine receptor antibody (anti-AChR) detection in myasthenia gravis (MG). Background Approximately 50% ocular 85% generalized MG are anti-AChR positive by RIPA, the current gold standard test. Clustered live (L-CBA) can detect low-affinity tha...

The short-time rotational dynamics of colloidal silica tracer spheres in suspensions of rigid silica rods is investigated, using time-resolved phosphorescence anisotropy, as a function of tracer radius aT , rod volume fraction f, and the range k 21 of the double-layer repulsions between the like-charged rods and tracer spheres. A large tracer size aT and a small screening length k 21 appear to ...

His urine was scanty. It was measured from day to day. On the first day it was found to be only 14 ounces in 21 hours. It increased a little afterwards, namely, 30 ounces in 21 hours. When the eyeball was found completely disorganised it was excised on the 24th September 1908, but it was found free from any growth. After this he began to get fever. His temperature ranged at first between" 99? F...

In the title Schiff base, C(21)H(25)F(2)NO, the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 27.90(5)° and an intramolecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by C-H⋯O, C-H⋯N and C-H⋯F interactions.
