Objectives To investigate whether a new magnetic resonance image (MRI) technique called
T2*-weighted fluid attenuation inversion recovery (FLAIR*) can differentiate between …

Objectives Seven-Tesla MRI demonstrated new pathological features of multiple sclerosis (MS)
using T2*-weighted sequences. However, a clinical MRI protocol at 7 T has never been …

Recently, a new MRI technique was developed at 3 Tesla (T), called fluid attenuated inversion
recovery* (FLAIR*). In this study, we implemented FLAIR* in an existing MS cohort at 7 T, …

Purpose To investigate the differences in the extracranial venous system in patients with
multiple sclerosis (MS) and healthy control (HC) subjects by using magnetic resonance (MR) …

AIM: Chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) is a vascular condition characterized
by anomalies of primary veins outside the skull that restrict normal outflow of blood from …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: 7T MR imaging has led to improved detection and
classification of cortical MS lesions, mainly based on T2*-weighted gradient-echo sequences. …

Introduction Whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) remains a recommended treatment for
patients with brain metastases in terms of symptom palliation, especially when extracranial …

Since the discovery of leptin, the adipocyte and its products have been the subject of
intensive research. Thus, it has been demonstrated that adipose tissue plays a central role in …

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are lipid-activated transcription factors
exerting several functions in development and metabolism. PPARα, activated by …

The presence of sufficient skeletal muscle mass is of paramount importance for body function
and the myostatin cascade is known to inhibit muscle growth in mammals. In addition, …
