UTILIZING DYNAMIC CONTRAST-ENHANCED MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (DCE-MRI) TO ANALYZE INTERSTITIAL FLUID FLOW AND TRANSPORT IN GLIOBLASTOMA AND THE SURROUNDING PARENCHYMA IN HUMAN PATIENTS

Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the deadliest and most common brain tumor in adults, with poor survival and response to aggressive therapy.Limited access of drugs to tumor cells is one reason for such grim clinical outcomes.A driving force for therapeutic delivery is interstitial fluid flow (IFF), both within the tumor and in the surrounding brai

Abstract While computerized reading programs were found to enhance reading skills, less is known about their influence on reading self-concept (RSC).The current study aimed to examine short- and long-term effects of two versions of a computerized reading acceleration program (RAP) on reading skills and reading self-concept.One hundred thirty Hebrew

This research designed and developed an ultrasonic reactor for a fast and on demand production of cold brew coffee, remarkably reducing the brewing time from 24 h to less than 3 min.The technology was engineered by utilizing resonance to induce ultrasonic waves around the walls of the brewing basket of an espresso machine.The sound transmission sys

A growing number of evidence have demonstrated the involvement of enhancer RNAs (eRNAs) in tumor progression.However, the possible functions of eRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain largely unclear.Our present research aimed to screen critical eRNAs and to further delve into the clinical significance of eRNAs in HCC patients.In this study,

Abstract Background Satellites or tandem repeats are very abundant in many eukaryotic genomes.Occasionally they have been reported to be present in some prokaryotes, but to our knowledge there is no general comparative study on their occurrence.For this reason we present here an overview of the distribution and properties of satellites in a set of
