Pleural effusion from intrathoracic migration of a ventriculo-peritoneal shun...
Abstract Background Pleural effusion is a rare complication of ventriculo-peritoneal (VP) cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunting and its diagnosis is difficult in patients with... -
Chronic wide-field imaging of brain hemodynamics in behaving animals
Chronically monitoring cerebral activities in awake and freely moving status is very important in physiological and pathological studies. We present a novel standalone... -
Theoretical investigation of polarization-insensitive data format conversion ...
Polarization-insensitive conversion of return-to-zero (RZ) ON-OFF keying (RZ-OOK) to RZ binary phase-shift keying (RZ-BPSK) has been achieved by cross-phase modulation (XPM) in... -
Link of dysfunctional attitudes with the negative self-model
Abstract Background Beck’s cognitive theory postulates that dysfunctional attitudes predisposing to depression are formed by early negative experiences. Meanwhile, Bowlby’s... -
Development of a clickable bimodal fluorescent/PET probe for in vivo imaging
Abstract Background Fluorescent imaging agents are becoming evermore important in preclinical and clinical research. They do, however, suffer from poor tissue penetration, which... -
Long-term prenatal exposure to paracetamol is associated with DNA methylation...
Abstract Background Epidemiological studies have shown that long-term exposure to paracetamol during pregnancy is associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder... -
Early exposure to hyperoxia and mortality in critically ill patients with sev...
Abstract Background Hyperoxia is common early in the course of resuscitation of critically ill patients. It has been associated with mortality in some, but not all, studies of... -
The Gabor superlens as an alternative wafer-level camera approach inspired by...
We present the microoptical adaption of the natural superposition compound eye, which is termed “Gabor superlens”. Enabled by state-of-the-art microoptics technology, this well... -
Validating self-reporting of hearing-related symptoms against pure-tone audio...
Objective: To validate self-reported hearing-related symptoms among personnel exposed to moderately high occupational noise levels at an obstetrics clinic. Design: Sensitivity,... -
In vivo volumetric imaging of human retinal circulation with phase-variance o...
We present in vivo volumetric images of human retinal micro-circulation using Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (Fd-OCT) with the phase-variance based motion contrast... -
The JAK-STAT Pathway Is Critical in Ventilator-Induced Diaphragm Dysfunction
Abstract Mechanical ventilation (MV) is one of the lynchpins of modern intensive-care medicine and is life saving in many critically ill patients. Continuous ventilator support,... -
Overwrite fabrication and tuning of long period gratings
The central wavelengths of the resonance bands are critical aspect of the performance of long period gratings (LPGs) as sensors, particularly for devices designed to operate... -
A Nordic survey of CT doses in hybrid PET/CT and SPECT/CT examinations
Abstract Background Computed tomography (CT) scans are routinely performed in positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)... -
microRNAs expression profile related with response to preoperative radiochemo...
Abstract Background It is urgent to find some biochemical markers for predicting the radiochemotherapy sensitivity. microRNAs have a huge potential as a predictive biomarker in... -
Degenerative findings in lumbar spine MRI: an inter-rater reliability study i...
Abstract Background For diagnostic procedures to be clinically useful, they must be reliable. The interpretation of lumbar spine MRI scans is subject to variability and there is... -
Advancing the pathologic phenotype of giant axonal neuropathy: early involvem...
Abstract Giant axonal neuropathy (GAN; ORPHA: 643; OMIM# 256850) is a rare, hereditary, pediatric neurodegenerative disorder associated with intracellular accumulations of... -
Does CRP predict outcome in bipolar disorder in regular outpatient care?
Abstract Background The association between inflammation and the course of mood disorders is receiving increased attention. This study aims to investigate whether a sub-group of... -
Phase-sensitive imaging of the outer retina using optical coherence tomograph...
The cone photoreceptor’s outer segment (OS) experiences changes in optical path length, both in response to visible stimuli and as a matter of its daily course of renewal and... -
Optimal Designs for the Two-dimensional Interference Model
Recently, there have been some major advances in the theory of optimal designs for interference models when the block is arranged in one-dimensional layout. Relatively speaking,... -
Prone positioning in acute respiratory distress syndrome after abdominal surg...
