Distortion and signal loss in medial temporal lobe.

BackgroundThe medial temporal lobe (MTL) contains subregions that are subject to severe distortion and signal loss in functional MRI.Air/tissue and bone/tissue interfaces in the vicinity of the MTL distort the local magnetic field due to differences in magnetic susceptibility.Fast image acquisition and thin slices can reduce the amount of distortio

Dipolar Order Parameters in Large Systems With Fast Spinning

Order Mirrors parameters are a useful tool for quantifying amplitudes of molecular motions.Here we measure dipolar order parameters by recoupling heteronuclear dipole-dipole couplings under fast spinning.We apply symmetry based recoupling methods to samples spinning under magic angle at 60 kHz by employing a variable flip angle compound inversion p

Antifungal activity of the esssential oil of Seseli rigidum Waldst. & Kit. (Apiaceae) on the growth of isolates of Candida albicans

The antimicrobial activity of the essential oils of root, aerial parts and fruit from two natural populations of Seseli rigidum was tested against 28 isolates of Candida albicans and one laboratory control strain of C.albicans ATCC 10259.Strains of C.albicans were isolated from oropharyngeal swabs, vaginal and/or cervical swabs, eye swabs, wound sw
