Professional Development Committee, selected this article to be offered for CE credit to fill an observed learning need in the arena of clinical nutrition and metabolism. This CE activity serves to promote the process of lifelong learning for physicians, dietitians, pharmacists, and nurses by providing peer-reviewed journal articles that fully qualify for continuing education credits. Goal and ...

Harmonics have much significance in music. A musical note has three characteristics. 1 Pitch (or frequency) 2 Loudness 3 Quality (or tone). Quality is the audible difference heard between two musical notes of the same pitch and loudness. Hence, a piano based C-note does not sound the same as a C-note played on a guitar, due to the existence of harmonic frequencies. The same note from various in...

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS), affecting mostly young people at a mean age of 30 years. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most specific and sensitive methods in diagnosing and detecting the evolution of multiple sclerosis disease. But it does not have the ability to differentiate between distinct histopathologic...

We propose a data-driven framework to increase the computational efficiency of explicit finite element method in structural analysis soft tissue. An encoder–decoder long short-term memory deep neural network is trained based on data produced by an explicit, distributed solver. leverage this predict synchronized displacements at shared nodes, minimizing amount communication between processors. p...

Objective(s): 18F-fluciclovine (trans-1-amino-3-[18F] fluorocyclobutanecarboxylic acid, [FACBC]) is an artificial amino acid radiotracer used for positron emission tomography (PET) studies, which is metabolically stable in vivo and has a long half-life. It has already been shown that FACBC-PET is useful for glioma imaging. However, there have been no reports evaluating the efficiency of FACBC-P...

Background: Conventional echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging have been highlighted to diagnose diastolic and systolic heart dysfunction. We aimed to compare tissue Doppler imaging with conventional echocardiography to diagnose heart dysfunctions in diabetes mellitus type 1 (DMT1) patients. <s...

peripheral lymph nodes, located deep in the subcutaneous tissue, clean antigens from the extracellular fluid. generally, a normal sized lymph node is less than one cm in diameter. peripheral lymphadenopathy (lap) is frequently due to a local or systemic, benign, self-limited, infectious disease. however, it could be a manifestation of underlying malignancy. seventy-five percent of all laps are ...

During embryonic development, pattern formation must be tightly synchronized with tissue morphogenesis to coordinate the establishment of the spatial identities of cells with their movements. In the vertebrate retina, patterning along the dorsal-ventral and nasal-temporal (anterior-posterior) axes is required for correct spatial representation in the retinotectal map. However, it is unknown how...

In spinal cord injuries, direct trauma by edges of sublaxated or dislocated vertebrae and indirect ischemia as a result of vascular injury necrotize the neural tissue. After spinal cord injury, tissue loss appears as micro- or macrocavitation. Accumulations of non-neuronal cells substitute spared tissue and halts axon regrowth. Lack of supporting cells (secreting trophic factors and matrix) agg...
