Paraspinal Muscle Changes in Individuals with and without Chronic Low Back Pain over a 4-Month Period: A Longitudinal MRI Study

Author(s): Anstruther M; Sean M; Tétreault P; Fortin M;

Background and Objectives: Previous research has shown associations between atrophy and fatty infiltration of the lumbar paraspinal musculature and low back pain (LBP). However, few studies have examined longitudinal changes in healthy controls and individu...

Consistency of electrical source imaging in presurgical evaluation of epilepsy across different vigilance states

Author(s): Avigdor T; Abdallah C; Afnan J; Cai Z; Rammal S; Grova C; Frauscher B;

Objective: The use of electrical source imaging (ESI) in assessing the source of interictal epileptic discharges (IEDs) is gaining increasing popularity in presurgical work-up of patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy. While vigilance affects the abili...

NSF evaluation of gadolinium biodistribution in renally impaired rats: Using novel metabolic Gd2O3 nanoparticles coated with β-cyclodextrin (Gd2O3@PCD) in MR molecular imaging

Author(s): Ashouri H; Alam NR; Khoobi M; Haghgoo S; Rasouli Z; Gholami M;

The use of conventional gadolinium(Gd)-based contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) poses a significant risk of Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis (NSF) syndrome in patients with impaired renal function (grades 4 and 5). To address this issue, a new...

Abstract

The ability to accurately identify and quantify immune cell populations within adipose tissue is important in understanding the role of immune cells in metabolic disease risk. Flow cytometry is the gold standard method for immune cell quantification. However, quantification of immune cells from adipose tissue presents a number of challenges because of the complexities of working with an oily substance and the rapid deterioration of immune cell viability before analysis can be performed. Here we present a highly reproducible flow cytometry protocol for the quantification of immune cells in human adipose tissue, which overcomes these issues.
