Detection of small hepatocellular carcinoma: can gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging replace combining gadopentetate dimeglumine-enhanced and superparamagnetic iron oxide-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging?
Gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI can replace double-contrast MRI for the detection of HCCs. Because all HCCs were delineated on gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI, even with a low confidence rating, and 3 HCCs were not seen on double-contrast MRI, gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI could be more advantageous than double-contrast MRI for HCC work-up.
Social behaviour influences the peer acceptance of hypothetical children with chronic illness. Prosocial behaviour enhances acceptance of children described with illness, while aggressive behaviour hampers it. Additionally, prosocial behaviour is more beneficial, and aggressive behaviour is less damaging for children described as ill versus healthy. The potential processes by which peers judge acceptance of children with illness are discussed.
