• DWMRI can differentiate between pelvic abscess and inflammatory mass. • DWMRI helps avoid gadolinium-chelate administration in patients with a suspected fistula-in-ano. • DWMRI provides high degrees of conspicuity for fistula-in-ano. • Conspicuity of fistulas is better with DWMRI imaging than with T2-TSE-weighted MRI.
Conducting interfaces modified with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) have shown improved electrochemical response for different analytes. The efficient formation of functionalized rGO based materials is thus of current interest for the development of sensitive and selective biosensors. Herein, we report a simple and environmentally friendly method for the formation of a hemin-functionalized rGO hybrid nanomaterial that exhibits remarkable sensitivity to peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) in solution. The hemin-functionalized rGO hybrid nanomaterial was formed by mixing an aqueous solution of graphene oxide (GO) with hemin and sonicating the suspension for 5 h at room temperature. In addition to playing a key role in biochemical and electrocatalytic reactions, hemin has been proven to be a good reducing agent for GO. The sensitivity of the peroxynitrite sensor is ≈7.5 ± 1.5 nA mM(-1) with a detection limit of 5 ± 1.5 nM.
• A drop in leiomyoma ADC values is observed 6 months after UAE. • Drop in leiomyoma ADC value is associated with leiomyoma devascularizarion after UAE. • MR 48 h post-UAE allows assessing leiomyoma devascularization. • Myometrium perfusion defect occurs more often in women with a smaller uterus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
