Introduction Enceladus is emitting measurable heat (37 GW) from a region centered on its South Pole [1]. Radioactive and accretional heating are expected to be minimal for such a small, low-density body, implying that the observed heat flow is due to past or present tidal dissipation [2]. The tidal heat production for which Enceladus’ eccentricity is in steady state, however, cannot exceed 1.1 ...

In this paper, we introduce Intra-Relational AEDP (I-R) as an attachment-based experiential approach to trauma treatment. Integrating Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) (Fosha, 2000a,b, 2002, 2003) with ego-state methodology, intra-relational interventions specifically seeks to help clients by (1) fostering capacities for self-regulation through shared states of affective res...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The typical magnetic resonance imaging picture of arterial dissection, namely, a narrowed eccentric signal void surrounded by a semilunar signal hyper-intensity (corresponding to the mural hematoma) on T1- and T2-weighted images, has been repeatedly reported, but the sensitivity of magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis of cervical dissection is poorly known. Anothe...

lipomatosis of the nerve, also known as fibrolipomatous hamartoma, is characterized by the infiltration of the nerve by fibro-fatty tissue. the affected nerve becomes thicker, and it simulates a mass lesion. lipomatosis usually affects the median nerve and lipomatosis of the sciatic nerve is extremely rare. magnetic resonance imaging (mri) is the key to diagnosis, and it is usually pathognomoni...

conclusion these data indicate that while ce-mri will depict more positive results, there are cases in which dwi will show a positive result while ce-mri is negative. we suggest that the combination of these two imaging modalities might yield more positive results in diagnosing acute ms attack giving rise to a more accurate diagnosis. results ce-mri yielded positive results for 61 (87%) patient...

the application of magnetic resonance to diagnostic medical imaging stands as one of the great scientific achievements in the past 50 years. magnetic resonance techniques are easily applied to organs which remain stationary during the imaging procedure, such as the brain and musculoskeletal system. imaging of moving heart structures and circulating blood is considerably more difficult.   clinic...

We describe a seven-year-old girl with severe pneumonia probably associated with Mycoplasma pneumoniae who developed right-sided hemiparalysis and right central facial paralysis soon after the onset of the disease. Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging revealed left corpus striatum acute infarction and magnetic resonance angiography demonstrated left internal carotid artery occlusion. She also ha...

A growing body of research suggests that comprehending verbal descriptions of actions relies on an internal simulation of the described action. To assess this motor resonance account of language comprehension, we first review recent developments in the literature on perception and action, with a view towards language processing. We then examine studies of language processing from an action simu...

A 48-year-old Chinese woman presented with progressive right-sided sensorineural hearing loss. Computerised tomography showed asymmetrical widening of the right internal acoustic canal. Post-gadolinium magnetic resonance images demonstrated marked enhancement of an intracanalicular tumour. The diagnosis of acoustic neuroma was confirmed surgically. The approach to imaging of deafness, particula...

This policy addresses the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to monitor the integrity of silicone-gel-filled breast implants (hereafter referred to as silicone implants). MRI to monitor for the rupture of silicone implants may be performed without contrast and is more sensitive and specific when a dedicated breast coil is used. Silicone-specific sequences are sometimes used. This policy do...
