PURPOSE To measure the effects of using time-resolved (TR) versus time-averaged (TA) ventricular segmentation on four-dimensional flow-sensitive (4D flow) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) kinetic energy (KE) calculations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Right (RV) and left (LV) ventricular KE was calculated from 4D flow MRI data acquired at 3.0T in 10 healthy volunteers and five subjects with cardiac d...

In this research, the energy flow and production energy indices of canola cultivation in Trakya province of Turkey, Golestan and Mazandaran provinces of Iran were compared. Diesel fuel and chemical fertilizer inputs were the highest consumer of energy in the production of canola in these three regions. The results indicated that despite the higher energy use of machinery in Trakya province of T...

INTRODUCTION Autoantibodies in patients with polymyositis/dermatomyositis (PM/DM) are associated with unique subsets, clinical course and outcome. Anti-MJ antibodies, which recognize the nuclear protein NXP-2/MORC3, are reported in ~25% of juvenile DM. Prevalence and clinical significance of anti-MJ antibodies in adult Italian PM/DM patients were studied. METHODS Sera from 58 consecutive adul...

Methyl jasmonate (MJ) is a botanical hormone that serves as a signal transduction intermediate and regulates cell death in stressed plants. MJ induces cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and non-apoptotic cell death selectively in cancer cells. However, the underlying mechanism of MJ-induced apoptosis remains unclear. In this study, we examined the molecular mechanism through which MJ induces apoptosi...

A field experiment was conducted during the rainy (kharif) season of 2019 at ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, to study effect different tillage and weed-management practices on productivity, water energy-use efficiency pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.). R. Br.]. The laid out in a split-plot design, with main plot, viz. conventional (CT), zero (ZT), + residue (ZT R) 3 ...

INTRODUCTION Orbitofrontal (OFC) circuits have been implicated in the pathophysiology of substance use disorders. The current study examined OFC functional connectivity differences in marijuana-using adolescents (MJ) and non-using healthy controls (HC). METHODS Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) resting-state data were obtained on a 3T MRI scanner on 31 HC and 43 heavy MJ smokers. I...
