Abstract

With conflicting results in the literature, it remains unclear whether a higher field strength automatically increases the sensitivity and specificity of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for detecting pathological lesions in the knee. Therefore, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies comparing the diagnostic accuracy of 1.5- and 3.0-T MRI for lesions within the knee. Sixteen studies were included in the meta-analysis of the diagnostic accuracy of MRI for lesions of the knee joint, and areas under the curve (AUC) derived from the summary receiver operating characteristic curve analysis were determined for comparison of the diagnostic accuracy with differing magnetic field strength as well as for lesions in different tissues of the knee. Separate meta-analyses were performed for the diagnosis of lesions within articular cartilage, ligaments, and meniscus. For lesions within the articular cartilage, the AUC for 1.5-T MRI differed significantly from that for 3.0-T MRI (Z = 3.4, P < .05). However, for lesions within the ligaments and meniscus, the AUC values for 1.5-T MRI did not differ significantly from those for 3.0-T MRI (Z = 0.32, P > .05, and Z = 0.33, P > .05, respectively). Our results indicate that bo...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
