Natural abundance 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to detect signals from glycogen in the human gastrocnemius muscle. The reproducibility of the measurement was demonstrated, and the ability to detect dynamic changes was confirmed by measuring a decrease in muscle glycogen levels after exercise and its subsequent repletion. Single frequency gated 1H decoupling was used to ob...

Life-time diagnosis of the initial pathological shifts in the organism remains an and still unsolved important problem of modern medicine. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy based on the nuclear magnetic resonance phenomenon is one of the methods which can help to solve this problem. Modern reports about the use of magnetic resonance spectroscopy in the diagnosis of various diseases are reviewed.

Traumatic brain injury continues to be the major cause of death in individuals under 44 years of age (Chapter 1). In addition to the high degree of mortality, the morbidity associated with survivors of severe head injury imposes significant social and financial costs upon the community. Despite being such a major public health issue, the mechanisms that result in the irreversible tissue damage ...
