ASSESSING THE SAFETY AND FEASIBILITY OF BEDSIDE PORTABLE LOW-FIELD BRAIN MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING IN PATIENTS ON ECMO (SAFE-MRI ECMO STUDY): STUDY PROTOCOL AND FIRST CASE SERIES EXPERIENCE

Assessing the SAfety and FEasibility of bedside portable low-field brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging in patients on ECMO (SAFE-MRI ECMO study): study protocol and first case series experience

Abstract Background To assess the safety and feasibility of imaging of the brain with a point-of-care (POC) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system in patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).Early detection of acute brain injury (ABI) is critical in improving survival for patients with ECMO support.Methods Patients from a single tert

Nuclear receptor complement of the cnidarian Nematostella vectensis: phylogenetic relationships and developmental expression patterns

Abstract Background Nuclear receptors are a superfamily of metazoan transcription factors that regulate diverse developmental and physiological processes.Sequenced genomes from an increasing number of bilaterians have provided a more complete picture of duplication and loss of nuclear receptors in protostomes and deuterostomes but have left open th
