Are the nuclear receptor PXR gene variants associated with liver injury in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease?
Our study suggests that pregnane X receptor polymorphisms and related haplotypes may contribute to disease severity in NAFLD by influencing the individual susceptibility to progress to more severe stages of the disease.
In this relatively small cohort, maximal IVIM perfusion fraction, similarly to maximal relative cerebral blood volume and minimal apparent diffusion coefficient, was prognostic for survival in patients with gliomas. Maximal IVIM perfusion fraction and minimal apparent diffusion coefficient performed similarly in predicting survival, and both slightly outperformed maximal relative cerebral blood volume.
