LKB1 is required for hepatic bile acid transport and canalicular membrane integrity in mice.
(2011-02)
LKB1 is a 'master' protein kinase implicated in the regulation of metabolism, cell proliferation, cell polarity and tumorigenesis. However, the long-term role of LKB1 in hepatic function is unknown. In the present study, ...
Consensus report from the 8th International Forum for Liver Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
(2020-01)
Objectives The 8th International Forum for Liver Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), held in Basel, Switzerland, in October 2017, brought together clinical and academic radiologists from around the world to discuss developments ...
3-D Microvascular Imaging Using High Frame Rate Ultrasound and ASAP Without Contrast Agents: Development and Initial In Vivo Evaluation on Nontumor and Tumor Models.
(IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 2019-05-01)
Three-dimensional imaging is valuable to noninvasively assess angiogenesis given the complex 3-D architecture of vascular networks. The emergence of high frame rate (HFR) ultrasound, which can produce thousands of images ...
Transplantation of discarded livers following viability testing with normothermic machine perfusion.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-06-16)
There is a limited access to liver transplantation, however, many organs are discarded based on subjective assessment only. Here we report the VITTAL clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov number NCT02740608) outcomes, using ...
US Backscatter for Liver Fat Quantification: An AIUM-RSNA QIBA Pulse-Echo Quantitative Ultrasound Initiative.
(RADIOLOGICAL SOC NORTH AMERICA (RSNA), 2022-12-01)
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is believed to affect one-third of American adults. Noninvasive methods that enable detection and monitoring of NAFLD have the potential for great public health benefits. Because ...
Stereotactic Radiofrequency Ablation of Breast Cancer Liver Metastases: Short- and Long-Term Results with Predicting Factors for Survival.
(SPRINGER, 2021-08-01)
PURPOSE: To evaluate safety, local oncological control, long-term outcome and potential prognostic factors of stereotactic RFA (SRFA) for the treatment of BCLMs. METHODS: Between July 2003 and December 2019, 42 consecutive ...
Frequency and risk factors for major complications after stereotactic radiofrequency ablation of liver tumors in 1235 ablation sessions: a 15-year experience.
(SPRINGER, 2021-05-01)
OBJECTIVES: To assess the frequency of major complications after multi-probe stereotactic radiofrequency ablation (SRFA) in a large cohort of patients over 15 years and to elucidate risk factors for adverse events. MATERIALS ...
A model selection framework to quantify microvascular liver function in gadoxetate-enhanced MRI: Application to healthy liver, diseased tissue, and hepatocellular carcinoma.
(WILEY, 2021-05-11)
PURPOSE: We introduce a novel, generalized tracer kinetic model selection framework to quantify microvascular characteristics of liver and tumor tissue in gadoxetate-enhanced dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI). METHODS: ...
Oncolytic reovirus as a combined antiviral and anti-tumour agent for the treatment of liver cancer.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-03-01)
OBJECTIVE: Oncolytic viruses (OVs) represent promising, proinflammatory cancer treatments. Here, we explored whether OV-induced innate immune responses could simultaneously inhibit HCV while suppressing hepatocellular ...
Extended T2-IVIM model for correction of TE dependence of pseudo-diffusion volume fraction in clinical diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging.
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2016-12-21)
The bi-exponential intravoxel-incoherent-motion (IVIM) model for diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) fails to account for differential T 2 s in the model compartments, resulting in overestimation of pseudodiffusion fraction f. ...
