1. Diffusion-weighted imaging versus non-contrast magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis during pregnancy
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of diffusion-weighted imaging compared to non-contrast magnetic resonance imaging in the differential diagnosis of acute appendicitis in pregnant patients. METHODS: A total of 72 pregnant patients with the suspicion of acute appendicitis who underwent magnetic resonance ima

2. Irrigation Management in the Paricá Seedlings Development in Amazon Region
ABSTRACT Paricá is a native tree to the Amazon region recognized for several socioeconomic applications. However, there are few studies on the influence of irrigation regime in the seedling stage. Thus, the objective of the research was to evaluate the effect of water depths and irrigation frequency on the development of Paricá seedlings in the edaphoclima

3. Cone beam computed tomography with oral contrast for accurate diagnosis and surgical planning of pharyngeal leakage and fistula: a case series
Abstract Objective: Pharyngocutaneous fistula is one of the severe complications related to head and neck surgeries. Detecting the accurate three-dimensional location of both the fistula and leakage is essential for surgical treatment. Videofluoroscopy is usually used for locating these; however, its imaging is two-dimensional. We evaluated pharyngeal leaka

4. Relationship between contrast-induced nephropathy and long-term mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with chronic coronary total occlusion
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Intervention in chronic total occlusion lesions involves long procedure time, a serious contrast load, and complex procedures. In this study, we aimed to investigate mortality rate of patients who had procedural coronary angiography done for chronic total occlusion lesions in coronary angiography series and who developed contrast-induced

5. Differentiation of affected and nonaffected ovaries in ovarian torsion with magnetic resonance imaging texture analysis
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of texture analysis on T2-weighted axial images in differentiating affected and nonaffected ovaries in ovarian torsion. METHODS: We included 22 torsioned ovaries and 19 healthy ovaries. All patients were surgically proven ovarian torsion cases. On T2-weighted axial images, ovarian borders were

6. The added value of non-contrast 3-Tesla MRI for the pre-operative localization of hyperparathyroidism
Abstract Objective: We investigated the efficacy of non-contrast 3-Tesla MR imaging added to the combination of sestamibi with99mTc (MIBI) scintigraphy and Ultrasonography (US) for the pre-operative localization of Primary Hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) lesions. Methods: A total of 34 parathyroid glands, including nine normal glands, were examined with MIBI, U

8. The impact of multimodality integrated positron emission tomography-computed tomography on improving the staging and management of head and neck malignancy: a cross- sectional study
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Clinical assessment of head and neck cancers is highly challenging owing to the complexity of regional anatomy and wide range of lesions. The diagnostic evaluation includes detailed physical examination, biopsy and imaging modalities for disease extent and staging. Appropriate imaging is done to enable determination of precise tumor ext

11. NATURAL LANGUAGE AT A CROSSROADS: FORMAL AND PROBABILISTIC APPROACHES IN PHILOSOPHY AND COMPUTER SCIENCE
Abstract Philosophy of language and computer science, despite being very distinct fields, share a great interest in natural language. However, while philosophy has traditionally opted for a formalist approach, computer science has been increasingly favoring probabilistic models. After presenting these two approaches in more detail, we discuss some of their m

12. NMR Relaxometry Applied to Chemical Studies of Paramagnetic Metal Cation Complexes: Fundamentals and Applications
Low field time-domain nuclear magnetic resonance (TD-NMR) relaxometry of paramagnetic metal cations (PMC) has been widely used to study and improve contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, despite its remarkable potential, TD-NMR is rarely used to study PMC complexes, and coordination compounds in non-biomedical application. Therefore,
