“We use “”edge mode”" ferromagnetic resonance to probe the magnetic properties of oxidized Ni80Fe20 (Py) nanostripe edges. The oxidation is carried out using either oxygen plasma or thermal annealing in an oxygen ambient. We find that for both treatments the edge saturation field decreases systematically with increasing GDC-0994 oxidation due to reduced magnetization near the edges. However, the change of effective out-of-plane anisotropy field shows opposite trends for these two
oxidation methods. Micromagnetic simulations suggest that thermally annealed samples may have an additional reduction in the bulk magnetization, possibly due to a compositional change in Py stripes. The two distinct oxidation profiles also result in different changes in resonance linewidth; we find little damping change for plasma treatment but an enhanced effective damping for thermal annealing.

“Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem, autoimmune connective tissue disorder. Neuropsychiatric SLE (NPSLE) has varied clinical and radiological manifestations. Clinical manifestations range from subtle abnormalities of neurocognitive functions and mood changes to overt psychiatric or neurological manifestations such as seizures,
stroke, and psychosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may show various types of abnormalities. Cerebral white matter lesions are most common (60-86%). Here, we are discussing HKI-272 nmr a young female who presented with alteration of sensorium and right-sided hemiparesis, and MRI of the brain showed extensive involvement of brainstem in the form of possible demyelination.”
“Aim: A meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the possible predictors of the positive PALN(para-aortic lymph nodes) for identifing
specific patients who are at high risk of PALN metastases and for whom super-extended lymphadenectomy or pre-operative DCS therapy could be recommended.
Methods: Five databases (PUBMED, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library and the China Biological Medicine Database, CNKI) were searched that finally identified 11 candidate studies. Original data were abstracted from each study check details and used to calculate odds ratios. The random effects or fixed-effect model was used to combine odds ratios to determine the strength of the associations.
Results: In this study, we eventually found 6 risk factors in the clinicopathologic characteristics including tumour located in the upper third(P < 0.01, OR = 2.19), tumour size exceeding 5 cm(P < 0.01, OR = 3.42), tumour infiltrating deeper than T2 (P < 0.01, OR = 2.07), tumour in the stage N2 and N3(P < 0.01, OR = 12.03), and tumour regarded as the poorly differentiated type by the histologic classification (P < 0.01, OR = 2.
