Fetal Thermal Effects of Diagnostic Ultrasound
Available evidence, experimental or epidemiologic, is insufficient to conclude that there is a causal relationship between obstetric diagnostic ultrasound exposure and obvious adverse thermal effects to the fetus.

Advances in Pediatric Minimal Access Therapy: a Cautious Journey from Therapeutic Endoscopy to Transluminal Surgery Based on the Adult Experience
This article explores the confluence of pediatric minimal access surgery and therapeutic endoscopy in a novel modality called transluminal surgery, or NOTES.

Optical Scanner for Immunoassays with Up-Converting Phosphorescent Labels
Our results suggest that a simple 2-D imaging system can speed assay development, reduce errors, and improve accuracy by characterizing the spatial distribution and uniformity of surface-captured optical labels as…

Metallothionein Induction By Hypoxia Involves Cooperative Interactions Between Metal-Responsive Transcription Factor-1 and Hypoxia-Inducible Transcription Factor-1 Alpha
Here, we provide evidence that the protumorigenic hypoxia-inducible transcription factor-1α (HIF-1α) is essential for induction of MT-1 by hypoxia, but not zinc.

Sleep and Menstrual-Related Disorders
There are few studies of sleep in menstrual-related disorders. Preliminary evidence indicates subtle differences in sleep and circadian regulation in women with severe premenstrual syndrome, and increased subjective sleepiness in…

Cortical Processing of Respiratory Afferent Stimuli During Sleep in Children with the Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Cortical processing of respiratory afferent information can be tested by measuring respiratory-related evoked potentials (RREPs). We hypothesized that children with OSAS have blunted RREP responses compared to normal children during…

The SRI24 Multi-Channel Brain Atlas: Construction and Applications
We present a new standard atlas of the human brain based on magnetic resonance images. The atlas was generated using unbiased population registration from high-resolution images obtained by multichannel-coil acquisition…

Effect of Chitosans and Other Excipientson the Permeation of Ketotifen, FITC-Dextran, and Rhodamine 123 Through Caco-2 Cells
Ketotifen, FITC-labeled dextran, and Rhodamine 123 permeation was evaluated across Caco-2 cells grown on permeable inserts in the presence of chitosan, N,O-carboxymethyl chitosan (NOCC), Carbopol 934P, Polysorbate 80, and Disodium…

Fast Parallel Spiral Chemical Shift Imaging at 3T Using Iterative Sense Reconstruction
Spiral chemical shift imaging (CSI) is a fast CSI technique that speeds up the data acquisition in comparison to conventional phase-encoded CSI by sampling the data while oscillating gradients are…
