Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) refers to two conditions: ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn disease (CD) [1]. IBD has a range of clinical symptoms including abdominal pain, diarrhoea, weight loss, constipation, and fatigue ...

The excellent soft-tissue contrast of magnetic resonance (MR) images, and the speed and frequency with which the patient can be imaged, allow clear visualization of the target and nearby organs at risk at multiple time ...

Metals, as well as selenium, are indispensable elements in cell biology. They function as cofactors for many specific proteins and are involved in all major metabolic pathways. The number of recognised IEM involving the ...

A simple maxim for clinical ethics could read, “meaning well and doing good,” or “making treatment choices that integrate sensible medical options with the individual patient’s wishes and values.” With respect to this goal, ...

Human brain activity can be measured in many ways, providing different views into its functions. Common measurements of human brain function, such as functional MRI (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG), are often ...

The variable presentation of clinical disease in pediatric patients with congenital and acquired heart disease makes standardized care challenging. This is further enforced by the ongoing growth and remodeling of the heart ...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows noninvasive and non-destructive imaging of brain tissue. More specifically, the status of white matter fibers can be measured with diffusion-weighted MRI, enabling assessment of ...

The growth of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) is a predictor of rupture. Therefore, for further imaging surveillance and treatment planning, it is important to be able to predict if an UIA is likely to grow based ...
