Holographic optical coherence imaging acquires en face images from successive depths inside scattering tissue. In a study of multicellular tumor spheroids the holographic features recorded from a fixed depth are observed to be time dependent, and they may be classified as variable or persistent. The ratio of variable to persistent features, as well as speckle correlation times, provides quantit...

Introduction: Diffusion-weighted Imaging (DWI) and the derived apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) were reported by several groups [1,2] to differentiate cancerous and healthy tissue in the prostate. The Intravoxel Incoherent Motion (IVIM) Theory, which predicts an additional component in the signal equation due to perfusion [3], could recently be applied to the liver and the pancreas [4,5]. F...

Burn tissue sites are a potential source of bacteremia during debridement surgery. Burn injury is likely to affect the distribution of antibiotics to tissues, but direct evidence of this is lacking. The aim of this study was to directly evaluate the influence of burn trauma on the distribution of cephalothin to peripheral tissues. We used subcutaneous microdialysis techniques to monitor interst...

The healthy eating index (HEI) was developed to track the quality of diets in different societies. The aim of this study was to determine the HEI score of Tehranian adults. This study, conducted within the framework of Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS), was a part of a dietary intake assessment carried out in 819 cases aged 19 and over. Dietary intake was assessed with two 24-hour recalls. ...

Background. In addition to regulating mineral metabolism and bone metabolism, vitamin D is important for supporting structure other types of connective tissue. Studies have shown the role deficiency in pathogenesis systemic inflammatory diseases tissue, autoimmune diseases. The results studying this problem countries with different geographic locations are also interest. Aim. Comparative assess...

UNLABELLED Quantitative information about bone tissue-level loading is essential for understanding bone mechanical behavior. We made microfinite element models of a healthy and osteoporotic human femur and found that tissue-level strains in the osteoporotic femoral head were 70% higher on average and less uniformly distributed than those in the healthy one. INTRODUCTION Bone tissue stresses a...
