Abstract

We monitored the differences in the first passage of gadobenate dimeglumine through normal and ischemic myocardium with left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery occlusion in dogs. Dynamic multislice images of the heart were taken on a 1.5-T magnetic resonance (MR) imager. In six normal dogs, inversion recovery (IR)-prepared fast gradient-recalled echo (GRE) images were acquired at five doses of gadobenate dimeglumine (0.005-0.1 mmol/kg). First passage of the contrast medium through normal and acutely ischemic myocardium were monitored in seven dogs subjected to LAD coronary artery occlusion. IR-prepared GRE images showed a dose-dependent increase in the signal intensity (SI) of the myocardium. In dogs with LAD coronary artery occlusion, there was a significant increase in the SI of normal myocardium (p < .01) than in ischemic myocardium after injection of 0.025 mmol/kg gadobenate dimeglumine. The first-pass dynamics of gadobenate dimeglumine through normal and ischemic myocardium can be monitored with a multislice acquisition using a clinical MR imager and differentiated between normal and ischemic myocardium in dogs.

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.
