Do diffusivity measurements differentiate benign from malignant lesions in patients with peripheral neuropathy or plexopathy?
DWI may be highly effective for the differentiation of benign from malignant peripheral nerve masslike or infiltrative lesions.
The present study suggests the presence of age-dependent left atrial Pitx2 down-regulation in SHRs. The strong negative correlation between left atrial Pitx2 expression and heart weight among SHRs may indicate a link between long-standing arterial hypertension and Pitx2-related atrial arrhythmogenicity.
