CLASSIFICATION OF CAROTID ATHEROSCLEROTIC PLAQUE COMPONENTS USING T2 MAPPING TECHNIQUE FROM MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING

Classification of carotid atherosclerotic plaque components using T2 mapping technique from magnetic resonance imaging

Introduction: Vulnerable plaque or soft plaque potentially increases risk of stroke.Accurate plaque characterization is Womens Sandals a demand for treatments.To date, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using multiweighted images, T1 weighted (T1W), T2 weighted (T2E), and proton density weighted (PDW), is one of the best available tools.Due to the sp

Sandy Lake Health and Diabetes Project: A community-based intervention targeting type 2 diabetes and its risk factors in a First Nations community

The Sandy Lake Health and Diabetes Project (SLHDP) was initiated in 1991 as a partnership between Sandy Lake First Nation and researchers interested in addressing the high rates of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the community.Following the expressed wishes of the community, the SLHDP has encompassed a variety of community-wide interventions and

CD36 inhibition enhances the anti-proliferative effects of PI3K inhibitors in PTEN-loss anti-HER2 resistant breast cancer cells

Abstract Background HER2-positive patients comprise approximately 20% of breast cancer cases, with HER2-targeted therapy significantly improving progression-free and overall survival.However, subsequent reprogramed tumor progression due to PI3K signaling pathway activation by PIK3CA mutations and/or PTEN-loss cause anti-HER2 resistance.Previously,
