Article Abstract
The water proton longitudinal relaxation time, T, is a common and useful MR parameter in nephrology research. Here we provide three step-by-step T-mapping protocols suitable for different types of nephrology research. Firstly, we provide a single-slice 2D saturation recovery protocol suitable for studies of global pathology, where whole-kidney coverage is unnecessary. Secondly, we provide an inversion recovery type imaging protocol that may be optimized for specific kidney disease applications. Finally, we also provide imaging protocol for small animal kidney imaging in a clinical scanner.This chapter is based upon work from the COST Action PARENCHIMA, a community-driven network funded by the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) program of the European Union, which aims to improve the reproducibility and standardization of renal MRI biomarkers. This analysis protocol chapter is complemented by two separate chapters describing the basic concept and experimental procedure.

Functional PET (fPET) identifies stimulation-specific changes of physiological processes, individual molecular connectivity and group-level molecular covariance. Since there is currently no consistent analysis approach available for these techniques, we present a toolbox for unified fPET assessment. The toolbox supports analysis of data obtained with a variety of radiotracers, scanners, experimental protocols, cognitive tasks and species.

Aims: Skeletal muscle energetic augmentation might be a mechanism via which intravenous iron improves symptoms in heart failure, but no direct measurement of intrinsic mitochondrial function has been performed to support this notion. This molecular substudy of the FERRIC-HF II trial tested the hypothesis that ferric derisomaltose (FDI) would improve electron transport chain activity, given its high dependence on iron-sulfur clusters which facilitate electron transfer during oxidative phosphorylation.
Methods And Results: Vastus lateralis skeletal muscle biopsies were taken before and 2 weeks after randomization.

Locally advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) presents significant therapeutic challenges, particularly in resource-limited settings with restricted access to new therapies. This report describes a new exploratory multimodal therapeutic approach for a patient with locally advanced clear cell RCC (ccRCC) with adrenal and lymph node metastases. A 45-year-old woman presented with an incidentally discovered 9-cm mass in the left kidney, which was later diagnosed as grade-2 ccRCC with adrenal and lymph node involvement.

Background And Aims: Ablation for premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) originating from the right ventricular inflow tract (RVIT) is challenging. Few studies have identified the correlation between right ventricular false tendons (RVFTs) and RVIT PVCs. This study aimed to verify RVFTs as arrhythmogenic and electro-anatomical substrates for PVCs, and propose an enlightening mapping and ablation protocol to improve operative efficacy.
