The majority of the Japanese patients with K(ATP) channel hyperinsulinism (84.2%) demonstrated paternally inherited monoallelic mutations that accurately predicted the presence of the focal form.
Long-term, continuous, subcutaneous octreotide infusion is a feasible alternative to surgery especially for patients with monoallelic KATP-channel mutations.
The optimal scan delays for hepatic arterial and portal venous phases after the bolus-tracking program detected threshold enhancement by 50 H in the lower thoracic aorta for the detection of hypervascular HCCs were 10-15 and 45-55 seconds, respectively.
Our results indicate that the signal intensity and heterogeneity of hepatocellular carcinomas on MR images correlate with the degree of VEGF expression in hepatocellular carcinomas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
