Does preinterventional quantitative magnetic resonance imaging predict uterus and leiomyoma size reduction after uterine artery embolization?
Uterus and dominant leiomyoma size reductions after UAE were predicted with preoperative MRI measures of the dominant leiomyoma.
Internal Mg(2+) can modulate the EtOH effects on BK channels only when there is an intact, internal actin interaction with the channel, as is found at synapses. We propose that the EtOH-induced decrease in cytoplasmic Mg(2+) observed in frequent/chronic drinkers would decrease EtOH's actions on synaptic (e.g., actin-bound) BK channels, producing a form of molecular tolerance.
