RESTORING SUSCEPTIBILITY INDUCED MRI SIGNAL LOSS IN RAT BRAIN AT 9.4 T: A STEP TOWARDS WHOLE BRAIN FUNCTIONAL CONNECTIVITY IMAGING.

Restoring susceptibility induced MRI signal loss in rat brain at 9.4 T: A step towards whole brain functional connectivity imaging.

The aural cavity magnetic susceptibility artifact leads to significant echo planar imaging (EPI) signal dropout in rat deep brain that limits acquisition of functional connectivity fcMRI data.In this study, we provide a method that recovers much of the EPI signal in deep brain.Needle puncture introduction of a here liquid-phase fluorocarbon into th

The high affinity peripheral benzodiazepine receptor ligand DAA1106 binds to activated and infected brain macrophages in areas of synaptic degeneration: Implications for PET imaging of neuroinflammation in lentiviral encephalitis

HIV encephalitis (HIVE) is characterized by neurodegeneration mediated by toxins derived from infected and activated brain bilstein shocks jeep xj macrophages.Since the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) is abundant on brain macrophages, we hypothesized that [3H]DAA1106, a new PBR ligand, can label infected and activated brain macrophages in

Implementation of and Early Outcomes From Anal Cancer Screening at a Community-Engaged Health Care Facility Providing Care to Nigerian Men Who Have Sex With Men

PURPOSE: Anal cancer risk is substantially higher among HIV-infected men who have sex with men (MSM) as compared with other reproductive-age adults, but screening is rare across sub-Saharan Africa.We report the use of high-resolution anoscopy (HRA) as a first-line screening tool and the resulting early outcomes among MSM sophie allport zebra in Abu
