Clinicians need a good understanding of available tools to diagnose iron deficiency (ID). Interpretation of commonly used laboratory tests can be challenging due to the dynamic nature of iron homeostasis and concurrent inflammation, which influence results. The misinterpretation of iron studies, inconsistencies in ID diagnostic guidelines, and low awareness of non-anaemic ID may lead to missed diagnoses and opportunities for treatment.

In this work we study the effect of the matrix of the source on the spectrum and on the full energy peak efficiency for low energy photons. Using realistic simulations carried out with PENELOPE 2018, including detector resolution, we show that small angle Compton scattering does contribute to the peak count rate, implying the dependence of the matrix effects on the linear attenuation coefficient μ and also on the scattering cross section. We show that the effect of Compton scattering can be removed from the apparent peak, resulting a "clean" peak depending only on μ.

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is an established non-invasive tool for the assessment of cardiovascular diseases, which are the leading cause of death globally. CMR provides dynamic and static multi-contrast and multi-parametric images, including cine for functional evaluation, contrast-enhanced imaging and parametric mapping for tissue characterization, and MR angiography for the assessment of the aortic, coronary and pulmonary circulation. However, clinical CMR imaging sequences still have some limitations such as the requirement for multiple breath-holds, incomplete spatial coverage, complex planning and acquisition, low scan efficiency and long scan times.

Methods: Cadaveric hind limbs from medium- to large-breed dogs without radiographic evidence of stifle pathology were used in this ex vivo experimental study. Each limb underwent TPLO, and a custom 3-D-printed guide was used to induce tibial torsion at 0°, 5°, and 10° in internal and external directions.

Background & Aims: Circulating proteins are integral to many biological processes and could be influenced by diet. We aimed to assess differences in the plasma proteome between people of different dietary groups, defined by degree of animal food consumption.
Methods: The UK Biobank recruited middle-aged adults (mostly 40-69 years) throughout the UK between 2006 and 2010.
