Brown adipose tissue thermogenesis heats brain and body as part of the brain-co...
Ootsuka, Youichirou; Menezes, Rodrigo Cunha Alvim de; Zaretsky, Dmitry V.; Alimoradian, A.; Hunt, J.; Stefanidis, A.; Oldfield, B. J.Brown adipose tissue (BAT), body and brain temperatures, as well as behavioral activity, arterial pressure and heart rate, increase episodically during the waking (dark) phase of the circadian cycle in rats. Phase-linking of combinations of these ultradian (<24 h) events has previously been noted, but no synthesis of their overall interrelationships has emerged. We hypothesized that they are coordinated by brai...
Appropriateness criteria for cardiovascular imaging use in clinical practice : ...
Garbi, M.; Habib, G.; Plein, S.; Neglia, D.; Kitsiou, A.; Donal, E.; Pinto, Fausto J.; Bax, J.; Achenbach, S.; Popescu, B. A.; Edvardsen, T.There is a growing interest from the scientific community in the appropriate use of cardiovascular imaging techniques for diagnosis and decision making in Europe. To develop appropriateness criteria for cardiovascular imaging use in clinical practice in Europe, a dedicated taskforce has been appointed by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI). The...
Updated standards and processes for accreditation of echocardiographic laborato...
Popescu, B. A.; Stefanidis, A.; Nihoyannopoulos, P.; Fox, K. F.; Ray, S.; Cardim, N.; Rigo, F.; Badano, L. P.; Fraser, A. G.; Pinto, Fausto J.Standards for echocardiographic laboratories were proposed by the European Association of Echocardiography (now the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging) 7 years ago in order to raise standards of practice and improve the quality of care. Criteria and requirements were published at that time for transthoracic, transoesophageal, and stress echocardiography. This paper reassesses and updates the quality...
