Do evaluation of adaptive combination of 30-channel head receive coil array data in 23Na MR imaging?
(23) Na MRI can be markedly improved by using a 30-channel receive array and ADC reconstruction. The ADC reconstruction showed robust results for all measurements without the need for sensitivity maps.
Subjects with combined positive serology for H. pylori and C. pneumoniae are characterized by greater age, lower social class and higher BMI, as well as higher fasting levels of insulin than those of seronegative subjects. Obesity might be a marker not only for lower social class but also for greater than normal susceptibility to such infections.
