Background A family member’s negative experiences with medical care have long-term
effects on a patient’s attitudes and emotions. However, the impact of family members’ …

Immature or reticulated platelets are known as a clinical marker of thrombopoiesis. Recently,
an automatic method was established to detect reticulated platelets as immature platelet …

Background Previous qualitative research has described that previous misdiagnoses may
reduce patient and their families’ trust in healthcare. Objective To quantify the associations …

Background: Manganese deposition was suspected in a pediatric patient who received long‐term
total parenteral nutrition. T1‐weighted magnetic resonance images revealed high …

Using magnetic resonance (MR) diffusion-weighted method, we examined the optic and the
trigeminal nerves of jimpy and twitcher mice, considered to be animal models of Pelizaeus-…

We attempted differential diagnosis of dysmyelination and demyelination in childhood using
magnetic resonance diffusion weighted imaging. Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease, one of the …

We performed single-voxel proton MR spectroscopy ( 1 H-MRS) in two children with Sjögren-Larsson's
syndrome (SLS). Both patients showed two abnormal spectral peaks at 1.3 ppm …

The progress of myelination in the cerebrum was evaluated by visual inspection, and magnetic
resonance (MR) imaging and the transverse relaxation time (T 2 ) was calculated from …

Two Japanese pediatric patients with terminal deletion of the long arm of chromosome 11
are described. Both had the morphological abnormalities of the 11q deletion syndrome, such …
