Abstract

To determine the level of a single transverse scan of intra-abdominal fat between L1 and L5 vertebrae that best predicts intra-abdominal fat volumes. Sixteen male and seven female patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, aged 44-74 y. Volumes and areas from single scans of intra-abdominal fat measured by magnetic resonance imaging with a 1.5 Tesla magnetic field strength. Intra-abdominal fat volumes and were calculated from fat areas from eight cross-sectional transverse single scans (nine scans in eight men) of 20 mm thickness. Men and women, respectively, had mean body mass index (BMI) of 27.9 (s.d. 3.0) and 31.6 (s.d. 4.7) kg/m2, and intra-abdominal fat of 2.3 (s.d. 0.5) and 2.5 (s.d. 0.6) kg. Intra-abdominal fat area of the fourth scan (in the direction of L1 to L5) gave the highest prediction of total intra-abdominal fat both in men (r = 0.959, P < 0.001) and in women (r = 0.973, P < 0.001). The intra-abdominal fat area of the third scan gave almost as good a prediction. These third and fourth scans corresponded to L2 and L3 vertebrae. The intra-abdominal fat areas from the sixth and seventh scans, corresponded to the frequently used L4-L5 and had lower correlations with intra-abdominal fat. There were no gen...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.
