Gadofosveset-enhanced MR angiography of carotid arteries: does steady-state imaging improve accuracy of first-pass imaging?
Gadofosveset-enhanced MR angiography is a promising technique for imaging carotid artery stenosis. Steady-state image reading is superior to first-pass image reading, but the combined reading protocol is more accurate.
Polyunsaturated fatty acids have the capability to increase in vitro acute phase protein synthesis. This may contribute to the observed anti-inflammatory effect of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid enrichment.
