A correlative study of quantitative EMG and biopsy findings in 31 patients with myopathies
(2011)A direct correlation of QEMG with muscle biopsy findings might help delineate the sensitivity of QEMG in identifying muscle pathology as well as provide information on electrophysiological-histological correlations. In a ...

Dose-dependent artifact in the far wall of the carotid artery at dynamic contrast-enhanced US
(2012)Purpose: To quantify a pseudoenhancement phenomenon observed during dynamic contrast material-enhanced ultrasonography (US) of the carotid artery, both in vitro and in vivo.Materials and Methods: Ethical approval was ...

Genotyping HIV-1 and HCV strains by a combinatorial DNA melting assay (COMA)
(1998)Background: Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) strains can be genetically classified into genetic lineages known as genetic types of subtypes according to phylogenetic analyses of ...

Quality evaluation of ultrasound imaging in the carotid artery based on normalization and speckle reduction filtering
(2006)Image quality is important when evaluating ultrasound images of the carotid for the assessment of the degree of atherosclerotic disease, or when transferring images through a telemedicine channel, and/or in other image ...

Screening for mutations in kidney-related genes using SURVEYOR nuclease for cleavage at heteroduplex mismatches
(2009)SURVEYOR is a new mismatch-specific plant DNA endonuclease that is very efficient for mutation scanning in heteroduplex DNA. It is much faster, cheaper, more sensitive, and easier to perform than other "traditional" mutation ...

Selection of cancer chemopreventive agents based on inhibition of topoisomerase II activity
(2000)The present study was undertaken to determine if in vitro inhibition of one or both of the two most dominant mammalian DNA topoisomerases (topos) is common among chemopreventive agents. To determine if an agent was a topo ...

Ultrasound image texture analysis of the intima and media layers of the common carotid artery and its correlation with age and gender
(2009)The intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) is widely used as an early indicator of cardiovascular disease (CVD). It was proposed but not thoroughly investigated that the composition and texture of ...
