BACKGROUND Although both (123)I-metaiodobenzylguanidine ((123)I-MIBG) imaging and (11)C-hydroxyephedrine ((11)C-HED) positron emission tomography (PET) are used for assessing cardiac sympathetic innervation, their relationship remains unknown. The aims were to determine whether (123)I-MIBG parameters such as heart-to-mediastinum ratio (H/M) are associated with quantitative measures by (11)C-HED...

This work numerically investigates the role of viscosity and resistivity on Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities in magnetized high-energy-density (HED) plasmas for a high Atwood number plasma beta regimes surveying across magnetic Prandtl numbers. The numerical simulations are performed using visco-resistive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations. Results presented here show that inclusion self-consiste...

Heavy Ion Heating and Expansion (HIHEX) technique [1, 2] has been proposed to study the equation-ofstate (EOS) of high-Energy-Density (HED) matter using intense uranium beam at the future Facilit for Antiprotons and Ion Research (FAIR) [3]. Previously we considered solid material for such studies whereas in the present work we use porous targets that are heated by the above ion beam. Numerical ...

OBJECTIVE To re-evaluate the mortality of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) and the prevalence of hyperpyrexia and possible neurological sequelae in affected infants. STUDY DESIGN A cross-sectional postal survey was conducted among parents of 100 children with ectodermal dysplasia who had been registered with the German-Swiss-Austrian patient support group at any time point within the p...

It has been suggested that maternal nutrition during gestation is involved in an offspring's intestinal development. The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate the effects of maternal energy on the growth and small intestine development of offspring. After mating, twenty gilts (Large White (LW) breeding, body weight (BW) at 135.54 ± 0.66 kg) were randomly allocated to two dietary treatment...

Howardite-Eucrite-Diogenite (HED) meteorite clan is a potential group of planetary materials which provides significant clues to understand the formation and evolution solar system. Grove Mountains (GRV) 13001 new member HED meteorite, recovered from Antarctica by Chinese National Antarctic Research Expedition. This research work presents comprehensive study petrology mineralogy, chemical compo...

Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is characterized by abnormal development of the teeth, hair, and sweat glands. Ectodysplasin A (EDA), Ectodysplasin A receptor (EDAR), and EDAR-associated death domain (EDARADD) are candidate genes for HED, but the relationship between WNT10A and HED has not yet been validated. In this study, we included patients who presented at least two of the three ec...

Aims: To describe perceived negative consequences (PNCs) of alcohol consumption related to the frequency of heavy episodic drinking (HED) in a Swedish population attending primary health care (PHC). Methods: Data from a computer-based assessment, including questions about alcohol consumption and PNC, were collected from 28 PHC centres in Sweden. The analysis included 4559 responders. Risk ratio...

CONTEXT Localization of the primary tumor and detection of metastases are essential for preoperative planning and postoperative management of pheochromocytoma. When computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging are inadequate, functional imaging adds important information in this respect. OBJECTIVE In this study the efficacy of positron emission tomography (PET) and PET/CT with (11)...
