BACKGROUND Modeling of short-term viral dynamics of hepatitis B with traditional biphasic model might be insufficient to explain long-term viral dynamics. The aim was to develop a novel method of mathematical modeling to shed light on the dissociation between early and long-term dynamics in previous studies. METHODS We investigated the viral decay pattern in 50 patients from the phase III cli...

Introduction: Non-contrast based techniques for Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA) have experienced a resurgence with the association between Gadolinium contrast agents and Nephrogenic System Fibrosis (NSF). Several methods for peripheral angiography have been presented, however, their performance characteristics are poorly understood, particularly in the setting of clinically significant (≥5...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to assess the accuracy of a Fast Doppler protocol for the examination of an injured lower limb, namely 2-Point Fast Doppler (2PFD), in order to rapidly triage arterial lesions after penetrating trauma. METHODS The presence of flow and the aspects of the Doppler waveform of the dorsalis pedis artery (DPA) and posterior tibial artery (PTA) of the injured lowe...
