Current radiographic classifications for Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease cannot be applied at the early stages of disease. The purpose this study was to quantify perfusion femoral epiphysis in with use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and determine if extent epiphyseal can predict lateral pillar involvement mid-fragmentation stage.Twenty-nine patients had gadolinium-enhanced MRI initial stage or fragmentation were followed prospectively. percent whole its third measured by four independent...
ABSTRACT Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is a childhood hip disorder of ischemic osteonecrosis the femoral head. Hip joint synovitis common feature LCPD, but nature and pathophysiology remain unknown. The purpose this study was to determine chronicity inflammatory cytokines present in synovial fluid at an active stage LCPD. Serial MRI performed on 28 patients. T2-weighted gadolinium-enhanced MR images were used assess effusion enhancement (hyperemia) over time. A multiple-cytokine assay...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Recently, the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) recommended against routine endotracheal suctioning of meconium-stained nonvigorous newborns but suggested resuscitation with positive pressure ventilation. Our purpose is to study effects this change in management. METHODS: In multicenter cohort study, we compare 130 born during retrospective 1-year period before implementation new NRP guidelines (October 1, 2015, September 30, 2016) 101 infants prospective after...
A rapid and sensitive method to detect single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in biological samples is presented. The uses polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) followed by quantification of SWNT bands. SWNTs dispersed bovine serum albumin (BSA) were used develop the method. When BSA−SWNT dispersions subjected sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)−PAGE, BSA passed through stacking gel, entered resolving migrated toward anode as expected. SWNTs, however, accumulated a sharp band at interface...
Mechanochemical and solvothermal routes to the metal–organic framework Mg 2 ( m -dobdc) bearing coordinatively unsaturated Mg( ii ) sites are presented. The mechanochemical synthesis produces porous material exhibiting higher carbon dioxide uptake.
Metal–organic frameworks bearing coordinatively unsaturated Mg(II) sites are promising materials for gas storage, chemical separations, and drug delivery due to their low molecular weights lack of toxicity. However, there remains a limited number such MOFs reported in the literature. Herein, we investigate sorption properties understudied framework Mg2(m-dobdc) (dobdc4− = 4,6-dioxido-1,3-benzenedicarboxylate) synthesized under both solvothermal mechanochemical conditions. Both found be...
