Abstract 1 H MR spectra obtained by chemical shift imaging (CSI) of contrast‐enhancing brain tumors before and after the administration Gd‐contrast agent were quantitated compared with results in normal tissue included volume interest. Twenty‐seven combined magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRI, MRS) examinations tumor lesions T ‐weighted MRI CSI (TR/TE 1500/135 ms double‐spin echo) repeated 5–10 min (0.1–0.2 m M ). In induced a mean loss 15% peak area choline‐containing compounds (Cho, P...
PURPOSE: To evaluate whether mangafodipir trisodium (Mn-DPDP)–enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging surpasses dual-phase spiral computed tomography (CT) in differentiating focal liver lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred forty-five patients who had or were suspected of having lesions included a multicenter study and underwent CT enhanced MR imaging. Image interpretations performed by independent experienced radiologists compared with the final diagnosis that was based on all...
Background: Little is known about the work productivity loss in multiple sclerosis (MS). Objectives: To quantify MS-related and to compare factors associated with labour force participation loss. Methods: Participants were from Australian MS Longitudinal Study. included absenteeism (time missed work) presenteeism (reduced while working). Data analysed using log-binomial Cragg hurdle regression. Results: Among 740 employees, 56% experienced any due past 4 weeks. The mean total was 2.5 days...
The European Union’s ambitious 2035 carbon neutrality goal has significantly transformed the investment environment for electric vehicle (EV) industry. This paper analyzes changes in trends, technological innovation, infrastructure development, and strategic positioning within EU’s evolving landscape. By examining policy frameworks, market dynamics, influence of international competition, this study highlights factors driving increased EV sector. Furthermore, environmental social...
1H MR spectroscopy was used to correlate the metabolite signals in 66 untreated metastatic brain tumors with results of Gd-DTPA enhanced MRI. Cubic volumes containing metastases lung cancer (n=17), mammary carcinoma (n=24), melanoma (n=12) and those originating from other (n=13) were examined using double spin echo technique CHESS pulses for water suppression TE=135 ms. Apart trends toward reduced choline-containing compounds (Cho) post-Gd MRI contrast compared pathology groups, four tumor...
Background: More work is needed to understand the burden of comorbidities in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Objective: To assess prevalence 30 and impacts on employment outcomes a working-aged MS cohort. Methods: Participants were from Australian Longitudinal Study ( n = 929). Information specific comorbidity was obtained (whether or not each present, doctor-diagnosed, limited their activities being treated). Results: Comorbidities most frequently reported limit osteoarthritis (51%),...
Despite the popularity of spa tourism worldwide and size labour force, there is a paucity research about these employees. The casual, often low paid, workforce largely comprised women, are challenges associated with body work – touching another person's naked in intimate settings its association "dirty work" moral sense. potential for experiencing sexual harassment from clients emotional demands this can place on employees has negative implications social economic sustainability industry,...
Abstract Zoos have some choice about which pro‐wildlife behaviors to ask their visitors do, but with this freedom comes the difficult task of choosing that are appropriate, effective, and do not affect visitors’ experiences. This paper presents attributes emerged from self‐completed questionnaires administered 114 zoo visitors. Questions sought elicit felt should be considered in behavior selection process. The results say should: an on‐site option; new, or if known, include new learning...
Abstract Many zoos now emphasize that their role in conservation includes influencing the behavior of visitors for benefit wild animals. However, there is limited evidence behavioral change to support this emphasis; one reason may be requested behaviors are not viewed favorably by zoo visitors. The purpose present study was involve staff a process identifying and prioritizing pro‐wildlife using set criteria noted what prefer. This achieved replicating Smith’s (2009a) but including...
Background: While employment rates have increased in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS), little is known about the longitudinal trends of work productivity. Objective: To describe patterns productivity and examine factors associated annual change PwMS. Methods: Study participants were employed Australian MS Longitudinal (AMSLS) followed from 2015 to 2019 at least two repeated measures ( n = 2121). We used linear mixed models if within-individual variations symptoms are changes Results:...
Abstract The aim of this study is to extend current models employee work engagement include chronic illness in order better understand and predict workforce participation for the chronically ill. Using a sample 604 participants, examined relationship between engagement, perceptions psychological safety at performance organisational citizenship behaviours employees with ( N = 92) compared referent group general 512). Results indicate that ill employees, partially mediates behaviours. These...
Worker psychological health is a significant global imperative which requires national policy action and stakeholder engagement. While critical lever for improving worker health, some countries are more progressive than others in relation to development and/or implementation. At the Joint Congress of International Commission on Occupational Health, Scientific Committee Work Organization Psychosocial Factors Asia Pacific Academy Tokyo (September 2023), Global Roundtable was designed initiate...
Abstract Implementation of MR imaging the breast as an extension existing modalities in diagnosis cancer was evaluated a university center. performed 54 patients, whom results were compared with triple test (the combination clinical examination, mammographic evaluation, and cytology) final histological diagnosis. depicted 30 33 malignancies (sensitivity, 91%). In two malignancies, carcinoma clinically mammographically occult. For three patients false‐negative MRI diagnosis, conventional...
There is accumulating evidence indicating that the presence of malignant disease accompanied by profound changes liver metabolism in cancer-bearing host. We previously reported [P. C. Dagnelie, J. D.

Cancer 67, 1303–1309 (1993)] marked 31P MRS-detected alterations phosphorylation status as well phospholipid glucose rats bearing Dunning prostate tumours. The aim present study was first to define abnormalities patients with a...
Traditionally performed by women for low wages, the gendered nature of therapy work entails a complex interaction between customer service, therapeutic expectations, and contact with naked bodies in intimate settings. There is currently however paucity research exploring occupational stressors spa therapists, how they cope (or not) these workplace challenges. A study involving qualitative interviews working as therapists Victoria, Australia identified negative stress outcomes associated job...
