PREOPERATIVE CT VERSUS DIFFUSION WEIGHTED MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING OF THE LIVER IN PATIENTS WITH RECTAL CANCER; A PROSPECTIVE RANDOMIZED TRIAL

Preoperative CT versus diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging of the liver in patients with rectal cancer; a prospective randomized trial

Introduction.Colorectal cancer is one of the most frequent cancers in the world and liver metastases are seen in up to 19% of patients with colorectal cancers.Detection of liver metastases is not only vital for sufficient treatment and survival, but also for a better estimation of prognosis.The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of d

The impact of mouse passaging of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains prior to virulence testing in the mouse and guinea pig aerosol models.

It has been hypothesized that the virulence of lab-passaged Mycobacterium tuberculosis and recombinant M.tuberculosis mutants might be reduced due to multiple girls sweatshirt in vitro passages, and that virulence might be augmented by passage of these strains through mice before quantitative virulence testing in the mouse or guinea pig aerosol mod
