Ovarian masses: is multi-detector computed tomography a reliable imaging modality?
Based on our study results, we conclude MDCT is a reliable imaging modality in diagnosis of ovarian masses accurately with insignificant interobserver variability.
These results demonstrate that cardiomyocyte apoptosis progressively develops during the early stage after severe burn, which may in part contribute to burn-induced cardiac dysfunction. Myocardial inflammatory responses, evidenced by the increased infiltration of neutrophils, as well as production of TNF-alpha probably because of the activation of p38 MAP kinase, may be involved in burn-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis.
