Zika virus (ZIKV) belongs to the Flavivirus genus in the Flaviviridae family. Mainly transmitted via mosquito bites (Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus), ZIKV has been classified in the large category of arthropod-borne viruses, or arboviruses. However, during the past two outbreaks in French Polynesia (2013-2014) and Latin America (2015-2016),…[Read more]

The measured MTFs of T2-weighted (T2W) FSE images showed asymmetric step-function shapes reflecting differences in T2 decay of signals from samples. The MTFs obtained using the single-plate method significantly reduced the collapse caused by the contamination effect, which is observed in all the MTF measurements of the ramp method. The proposed…[Read more]

Brugada syndrome (BS) is a genetic pathological condition associated with a high risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD). Ventricular depolarization disorders have been suggested as a potential electrophysiological mechanism associated with high SCD risk on patients with BS. This paper aims to characterize the dynamic changes of ventricular…[Read more]
