Darstellung der Zentralregion mit anisotroper echoplanarer Diffusionswichtung (EPI-DWI)
2003
Im Rahmen dieser Studie sollte untersucht werden, ob sich eine diffusionsgewichtete Sequenz eignet, unter Ausnutzung der anisotropen Diffusionsverhaltnisse entlang der Markfasern die Zentralregion (ZR) bei Probanden und Patienten verlasslich darzustellen. Funf Patienten mit Hirntumoren und 20 gesunde Probanden wurden an einem klinischen 1,5-TMR-Tomographen untersucht. Bei den Probanden dienten die „klassischen“ anatomischen Zeichen zur Lokalisation der Zentralregion an einem 3-D-T1-Datensatz als Goldstandard zur Lokalisation, bei den Patienten zusatzlich noch ein funktionelles Magnet-resonanztomogramm (fMRT) mit einem Finger-Tapping-Paradigma im Blockdesign und der intraoperative Befund. Be…
MR-Angiographie peripherer Gefäße mit automatischer Verschiebetisch-Technik bei 1.0 T im Vergleich zur i. a. DSA
1999
PURPOSE Contrast-enhanced (CE) 3D-MR angiography of peripheral arteries was performed in 8 patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease by applying a new tracking technique on a 1.0 T system (Magnetom Harmony, Siemens). The studies were compared with intra-arterial digital angiography as gold standard. MATERIALS AND METHODS Imaging of the distal aorta, pelvis, upper and lower limb arteries was accomplished with a Flash-3D-sequence (TR/TE = 6.2/3.2 ms) within 26 s acquisition time of each region after a single bolus of 30 ml contrast agent. Individual circulation time was determined by a test bolus before each examination. RESULTS 112 vessel segments were evaluated. MR angiography ach…
Prognostic factors in the treatment of Ewing's sarcoma
1987
From 1981 up to February 1985, a total of 93 protocol patients entered the study CESS 81. The protocol recommended an initial 18-week period of polychemotherapy (VACA) followed by local therapy and two additional cycles of chemotherapy. Local therapy consisted either of radical surgery or of incomplete resection plus postoperative irradiation with 36 Gy or of radiotherapy alone (46 and 60 Gy). Centrally located lesions were always irradiated with 60 Gy. This article summarizes the data after 5 years. Data of 93 patients were analysed in October 1986 after a median follow-up of 37 months. The projected 5-year survival is 50%. The relapse rate was 42%, distant relapses occurred in 19%, local …

Sonographie von Urachusanomalien im Kindesalter
1991
The sonographic appearances of urachal anomalies are illustrated by six patients with persistent urachus (n = 1), infected persistent urachus (n = 1), urachal sinus (n = 1), infected urachal cyst (n = 2) and urachal diverticulum (n = 1). The anomalies were diagnosed sonographically in every case. Symptomatic patients were treated surgically.
Les cancers du rein non à cellules claires : caractéristiques clinico-biologiques et prise en charge thérapeutique hors chirurgie
2020
Resume Les cancers du rein non a cellules claires representent pres de 25 % de l’ensemble des cancers du rein, et constituent un groupe de tumeurs tres heterogenes a la fois en termes de varietes histologiques, mais egalement d’anomalies biologiques oncogeniques. La presentation clinique ainsi que le pronostic des patients sont egalement tres variables. Compte tenu de la rarete de chaque entite tumorale, il n’existe que tres peu d’essais cliniques ayant porte sur une variete bien definie de cancer non a cellules claires. Ceci rend difficile l’interpretation de ces etudes, et donc l’emission de recommandations claires de prise en charge medicale pour la maladie avancee. Dans cet article, les…
Imaging funzionale per diffusione (DWI) e ischemia cerebrale in fase acuta: Potenzialità diagnostiche e confronto con metodiche convenzionali
1997
Stroke is the third leading cause of death and is a major cause of long-term disability. Neuroprotective treatment within a 4-hour «therapeutic window» has proved highly efficacious in reducing morbility and mortality in animal model. It is with this background that the need for emergent diagnosis and therapy of acute stroke in strongly suggested. Computed tomography (CT) shows the parenchymal changes of acute stroke too late to be helpful, and its role has been primarily to evaluate the possibility of intracerebral or subarachnoid hemorrhage. While conventional magnetic resonance (MR) imaging can demonstrate parenchymal abnormalities 4–6 hours after ischemia, newer techniques such as diff…
Comparison of Split-Window and Single-Channel Methods for Land Surface Temperature Retrieval from MODIS and AATSR Data
2008
In this study, two different methods for retrieving the Land Surface Temperature (LST) from Terra/Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Envisat/Advanced Along Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR) data are compared against a database of ground measured LSTs. These are the split-window (SW) and the single-channel (SC) methods. The SW method expresses LST as a combination of the brightness temperatures in the 11 iquestm and 12 iquestm channels with coefficients that can have local or global validity, depending on the way they are obtained. SC methods are based on the atmospheric radiative transfer equation. To solve this equation, convenient atmospheric temperature and water v…
Phenotypic analysis of individuals with Costello syndrome due to HRAS p.G13C.
2011
Costello syndrome is characterized by severe failure-to-thrive, short stature, cardiac abnormalities (heart defects, tachyarrhythmia, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)), distinctive facial features, a predisposition to papillomata and malignant tumors, postnatal cerebellar overgrowth resulting in Chiari 1 malformation, and cognitive disabilities. De novo germline mutations in the proto-oncogene HRAS cause Costello syndrome. Most mutations affect the glycine residues in position 12 or 13, and more than 80% of patients share p.G12S. To test the hypothesis that subtle genotype-phenotype differences exist, we report the first cohort comparison between 12 Costello syndrome individuals with p…
