Feasibility of free-breathing quantitative myocardial perfusion using multi-echo Dixon magnetic resonance imaging

Abstract Dynamic contrast-enhanced quantitative first-pass perfusion using magnetic resonance imaging enables non-invasive objective assessment of myocardial ischemia without ionizing radiation.However, quantification of Incline Motor perfusion is challenging due to the non-linearity between the magnetic resonance signal intensity and contrast agen

Toxicity bioassay and sub-lethal effects of diazinon on blood profile and histology of liver, gills and kidney of catfish, Clarias gariepinus

Abstract The catfish, Clarias gariepinus, was exposed to different acute concentrations (5-10 mg/l) of diazinon and the Lc50 value was recorded as high as 7.3 mg/l for 96 hours.The fishes exposed to three sub-lethal levels of diazinon (0.73, 1.095 and 1.46 mg/l) for 30 days showed that the pesticide induces changes in different blood parameters.Num
