PURPOSE MR might be well suited to obtain reproducible and accurate measures of fat tissues in infants. This study evaluates MR-measurements of adipose tissue in young infants in vitro and in vivo. MATERIAL AND METHODS MR images of ten phantoms simulating subcutaneous fat of an infant's torso were obtained using a 1.5T MR scanner with and without simulated breathing. Scans consisted of a cart...

Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) are heterogeneous disorders in which the safety margin of neuromuscular transmission is compromised by one or more specific mechanisms. Using Sanger and exome sequencing in a CMS patient, we identified two heteroallelic mutations, p.Glu1233Lys and p.Arg1277His, in LRP4 coding for the postsynaptic low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 4. LRP4, exp...

—An increasing boating population has led to extensive propeller scarring in many shallow seagrass meadows, and research has focused on relating scarring to nekton abundance; however, little information exists on the impacts on habitat functionality. In this study we moved beyond simple measures of faunal density as an indicator of habitat quality by comparing the growth rates of common estuari...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to review the results of a cohort of patients based on our experience with a new technique for total lower eyelid reconstruction after a large defect caused by malignant tumor and trauma. A scapha cartilage graft with small skin on a vascularized propeller flap was used for 16 cases requiring lower eyelid reconstruction. METHODS Patients were identified fr...

A model is developed for magnetic 'propeller'-driven outflows which cause a rapidly rotating magnetized star accreting from a disk to spin-down. Energy and angular momentum lost by the star goes into expelling most of the accreting disk matter. The theory gives an expression for the effective Alfvén radius R A (where the inflowing matter is effectively stopped) which depends on the mass accreti...

Abstract Singing is one of the problems that occurs in propeller. However, singing will not happen to every a lot high-speed propellers and on with wide thin blade sizes. One ships have high speed propeller fast patrol boat. To overcome this problem, modifying trailing edge most commonly used methods. Sharpening way reduce vortex shedding. change shape propeller, which can affect performance Th...
