High non-specific uptake of [ 11 C]Pittsburgh compound B ([ 11 C]PiB) in white matter and
signal spillover from white matter, due to partial volume effects, confound radioactivity …

Objective The purpose of this 1-year prospective study was to determine whether sarcopenia
is an independent risk factor of cognitive deterioration in community-dwelling older adults. …

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effects of Capacitive and Resistive electric transfer
(CRet) and hotpack (HP) on haemoglobin saturation and tissue temperature. Materials and …

Purpose To suppress partial volume effect (PVE) in brain PET, there have been many
algorithms proposed. However, each methodology has different property due to its assumption …

Intestinal microfold cells (M cells) in Peyer's patches are a special subset of epithelial cells
that initiate mucosal immune responses through uptake of luminal antigens. Although the …

Background: The production and expression of os-teoprotegerin (OPG), a bone regulating
protein, is regulated by inflammatory cytokines. Methods: As clinical and experimental studies …

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been applied to various medical imaging tasks, such as
computer-aided diagnosis. Specifically, deep learning techniques such as convolutional neural …

Pt-loaded TiO 2 (Pt/TiO 2 ) catalysts for photocatalytic water splitting were prepared by the
polygonal barrel-sputtering method. The results showed that the evolution rates of H 2 and O 2 …

Immune cells have been implicated in interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), although their phenotypes
and effector mechanisms remain poorly understood. To better understand these cells, …
