8/3/2023 1 Comment Group 1 mr contrast agent![]() ![]() The potential risk factors for CIE may include chronic hypertension, renal dysfunction, history of stroke, high-contrast osmolality, and overdose of contrast medium ( 3– 8). The mechanisms of CIE remain unclear, and it is speculated that increased permeability of the blood–brain barrier (BBB), hyperosmolarity, and direct neurotoxicity from the contrast agents may lead to CIE ( 5). The clinical manifestations mainly include encephalopathy, cortical blindness, motor deficit, decreased vigilance, aphasia, headache, and epileptic seizures ( 4). It has been reported to occur in 1.7–3.6% of neurological endovascular procedures, including cerebral angiography, coil embolization, and endovascular thrombectomy procedure ( 1– 3). Pearson contingency coefficients and logistic regression showed a significant correlation between general anesthesia and the risk of CIE.Ĭonclusion: General anesthesia might be a risk factor for CIE, and propofol might be associated with the increased occurrence of CIE.Ĭontrast-induced encephalopathy (CIE) is a rare neurological complication following the administration of contrast agents in various angiographic procedures. After propensity score-based matching of CIE, the anesthesia methods were significantly different between the two groups. After propensity score-based matching of anesthesia methods, the occurrence of CIE was significantly different between the general anesthesia and local anesthesia group ( P = 0.007). In total, 14 patients were identified as CIE, resulting in a total incidence rate of 1.34%. A total of 370 patients (35.5%) received treatment under local anesthesia, while the remaining 673 (64.5%) underwent treatment under general anesthesia. Results: In this study, we implemented the embolization of intracranial aneurysm in 412 patients, stent implantation of extracranial artery stenosis in 346, stent implantation of intracranial artery stenosis in 187, embolization of cerebral arteriovenous malformation or dural arteriovenous fistula in 54, endovascular thrombectomy in 20, and other endovascular treatments in 24. A propensity score-based matching strategy and logistic regression were used to analyze the association between anesthesia and the occurrence of CIE. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed available clinical data from 1,043 patients with neurovascular diseases undergoing endovascular treatment between June 2018 and June 2021 in our hospital. The goal of this study was to investigate the incidence of CIE in patients who underwent endovascular treatment under different anesthesia methods and anesthetics administration and to explore whether general anesthesia was a potential risk factor for CIE. Although many potential risk factors for CIE have been reported, it is still unclear whether anesthesia is a risk factor for the occurrence of CIE. Objective: Contrast-induced encephalopathy (CIE) is a rare neurological complication that can occur in the context of various endovascular procedures.

![]() ![]() The strong lyrics of guitarist and singer Lou Reed made the music stifling. The album was recorded in New York in one eight-hour session. Andy Warhol spent more time on the cover than on the production of the record. Poor recording techniques did not help sales either. Because of said references to drugs and sex, the album was banned from the radio as well as in many record stores. Critics hated the album and saw it as an elaborate joke from Warhol. The Velvet Underground & Nico addressed highly controversial topics: sexual masochism, prostitution, drug abuse and the enjoyment of heroin. It is one of the most celebrated and ambitious albums of all time. Under Warhol's watchful eye, The Velvet Underground created a 20th-century classic. Warhol's banana – sexually provocative and at the same time rotten, judging by the brown spots – perfectly sums up the decadent beauty of this album. It was soon replaced by a standard cover, without peelable banana peel. That is why there are only a limited number of copies of this cover in circulation. Someone must have sat there with stacks of albums and hand-glued the yellow banana peel stickers over the pink fruit. ![]() ![]() A special machine was needed to make the covers, which is one of the reasons for the delayed release of the album. Nowadays, a reasonably good copy is worth at least EUR 1,000.įor Verve Records, however, the banana was a production nightmare. A pink, flesh-colored fruit appeared under the sticker. In case the genital-like shape wasn't provocative enough, Warhol added the invitation: ‘Peel slowly and see’. The first pressing, with peelable banana peel, is the holy grail among record collectors. The cover was designed by pop artist Andy Warhol. It’s difficult to imagine the world without the cover of The Velvet Underground & Nico, especially for a record collector. ![]() 8/3/2023 0 Comments Color me badd lead singer![]() ![]() Hopefully, this cat will move past whatever nonsense is plaguing the group at this time, so they can keep getting their paper together and giving their fans what they want- good music and nostalgic memories. 1 Watters was a member of the multi-platinum selling 1990s R&B group Color Me Badd and co-authored many of their hits including 'I Adore Mi Amor', and 'All 4 Love'. Back in December 2005, Abrams was arrested for drunken driving and plead guilty to that charge.’īy 2016, Color Me Badd announced they were touring again and Bryan was right there front and center, singing in his falsetto tone. Samuel Joshua Watters (born July 23, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer and record executive. In 2007, he pleaded guilty to beating his wife and was placed on probation for two years. Twice, the case against Abrams was dismissed. And NewsOne reported this: ‘ has been charged with domestic abuse four times since June of 2006. So who knows what was up with that?Īnyways, according to online reports, Bryan was in court in 2014, for allegedly punching his wife, Kimberly, in the face. However, photographers outside the courtroom also stated they’d seen Bryan close the walker and run up the stairs after his court appearance. He was walking with a walker and his attorney stated that he’d just had hip surgery. At first, many were still trying to process their initial shock by his transformation, as well as his health. Well, the once-hunky singer looked nothing like the man who sang I Wanna Sex You Up some 22 years ago when he appeared. The lead singer of 90s R&B group Color Me Badd, Bryan Abrams, opens up about his fame - and how his alcohol addiction is affecting his relationships. Abrams, 48, was arrested in the early hours of Sunday, July 22, after he shoved Calderon to the ground during a performance of the R&B group’s 1991 single I Wanna Sex You Up at del Lago Resort &. The above photo on the right, was Bryan in 2014, appearing in court for one of his several domestic violence charges. Remember singer Bryan Abrams from 1990s R&B group Color Me Badd. As we previously reported, the stress that the group faced after their popularity began to fade years ago, took a huge toll on Bryan and drastically affected his health and physical appearance.īryan also started having run-ins with the law around 2006 and they continued consistently for the next few years, but many were very shocked when he walked into a court room, in 2014, looking very different from the sex symbol he once was… Bryan Adams then (L) Bryan in 2014 (R) Needless to say, fans were been stunned by the transformation they’ve witnessed about the prior sex symbol.

Note: This story was originally published on Dec. For those of us who still aren't satisfied with 75-, 85-inch or even larger screens, projectors are the only way to go. It's just that their value compared with TVs has shifted. ![]() Projectors aren't going away any time soon. Models using lasers and LEDs, while still often behind in performance compared with their UHP-lamp siblings, keep getting better and dropping in price. They continue to get brighter, and their contrast and color capabilities keep improving. This isn't to say projectors have stagnated. Don't get me wrong, a huge image is awesome, but it's a lot harder to justify now, given how much better and cheaper truly huge TVs have gotten. These days, projector ownership means sacrificing a variety of things, like image quality, livability, possibly price, all in the name of the largest possible image. And in the case of OLED and many of the best-performing LCD and QLED TVs, the image quality will be significantly better too, especially with HDR. Unless you're willing to make sacrifices to your living situation, the slightly smaller screen of a TV is going to be easier to live with. This was somewhat true when I said the opposite a few years ago, but it's definitely true now. It pains me to say it, but for most people TVs are now a better option than projectors. Most people probably aren't willing to make that sacrifice. This obviously hasn't persuaded me to switch to a TV, but full disclosure: I use black-out curtains in my TV room. If you want to watch your projector during the day in a room with lots of windows (like the one at the top of this article) and enjoy the best image quality, you'll need lots of curtains.Ī TV is going to create a much brighter image than any projector, one that holds up better in bright rooms. No matter how good a fancy screen is at reducing the impact of ambient light, it's still going to look worse than the same screen in a dark room. Yes, there are ambient light-rejecting screens, but they're expensive. ![]() ![]() Insert one end of trimmer lines into an eyelet and push line equal distance through trimmer head.Ĥ.

In the case of RNA, the five-carbon sugar is ribose, not deoxyribose. ![]() Each of the nucleotides in RNA is made up of a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar, and a phosphate group. Like DNA, RNA is a polymer of nucleotides. There is a second nucleic acid in all cells called ribonucleic acid, or RNA. (credit a: modification of work by Jerome Walker, Dennis Myts) The Structure of RNA Figure 9.4 DNA (a) forms a double stranded helix, and (b) adenine pairs with thymine and cytosine pairs with guanine. The diameter of the DNA double helix is uniform throughout because a purine (two rings) always pairs with a pyrimidine (one ring) and their combined lengths are always equal. The two strands are anti-parallel in nature that is, one strand will have the 3′ carbon of the sugar in the “upward” position, whereas the other strand will have the 5′ carbon in the upward position. Adenine and thymine are connected by two hydrogen bonds, and cytosine and guanine are connected by three hydrogen bonds. This is the basis for Chargaff’s rule because of their complementarity, there is as much adenine as thymine in a DNA molecule and as much guanine as cytosine. In other words, adenine and thymine are complementary base pairs, and cytosine and guanine are also complementary base pairs. Base-pairing takes place between a purine and pyrimidine: namely, A pairs with T, and G pairs with C. Watson and Crick proposed that the DNA is made up of two strands that are twisted around each other to form a right-handed helix, called a double helix. In its natural state, each DNA molecule is actually composed of two single strands held together along their length with hydrogen bonds between the bases. The phosphate group is attached to the 5′ carbon of one nucleotide and the 3′ carbon of the next nucleotide. ![]() The carbon atoms of the five-carbon sugar are numbered clockwise from the oxygen as 1′, 2′, 3′, 4′, and 5′ (1′ is read as “one prime”). The sugar–phosphate groups line up in a “backbone” for each single strand of DNA, and the nucleotide bases stick out from this backbone. The phosphate group of one nucleotide bonds covalently with the sugar molecule of the next nucleotide, and so on, forming a long polymer of nucleotide monomers. Figure 9.3 (a) Each DNA nucleotide is made up of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a base.įigure 9.3 (b) Cytosine and thymine are pyrimidines. The nucleotide is named according to the nitrogenous base it contains. Adenine (A) and guanine (G) are double-ringed purines, and cytosine (C) and thymine (T) are smaller, single-ringed pyrimidines. There are four types of nitrogenous bases in DNA. The building blocks of DNA are nucleotides, which are made up of three parts: a deoxyribose (5-carbon sugar), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base ( Figure 9.3). Now let’s consider the structure of the two types of nucleic acids, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). (credit a: modification of work by Marjorie McCarty b: modification of work by NIH) Scientist Rosalind Franklin discovered (b) the X-ray diffraction pattern of DNA, which helped to elucidate its double helix structure. Figure 9.2 Pioneering scientists (a) James Watson and Francis Crick are pictured here with American geneticist Maclyn McCarty. In 1962, James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for their work in determining the structure of DNA. This meant they were always paired in some way. Chargaff had shown that of the four kinds of monomers (nucleotides) present in a DNA molecule, two types were always present in equal amounts and the remaining two types were also always present in equal amounts. Watson and Crick also had key pieces of information available from other researchers such as Chargaff’s rules. Watson and Crick were able to piece together the puzzle of the DNA molecule using Franklin’s data ( Figure 9.2). In Wilkins’ lab, researcher Rosalind Franklin was using X-ray crystallography to understand the structure of DNA. The patterns give important information about the structure of the molecule of interest. X-ray crystallography is a method for investigating molecular structure by observing the patterns formed by X-rays shot through a crystal of the substance. Pauling had discovered the secondary structure of proteins using X-ray crystallography. Other scientists, such as Linus Pauling and Maurice Wilkins, were also actively exploring this field. In the 1950s, Francis Crick and James Watson worked together at the University of Cambridge, England, to determine the structure of DNA.

You can see a big difference in the foreground between these two stacks of the same individual star trails. The quickest solution to problems like these is to open these individual frames in Photoshop, set the brush tool to black, and paint over any unwanted light. In the photographs below, you can see that this frame captured the light from passing cars on the far side of the lake. You may also need to do some quick editing of individual shots, especially if you were shooting at a location with unwanted stray light.

This image is a stack of 26 images shot with 18mm, 30 seconds, f/3.5, ISO 800. If you want extremely long swirls in less time, then compose for a view farther away from the North Star. If you want an image of the stars swirling around a complete circle, then be sure to include the North Star in your viewfinder (in the Northern Hemisphere). Think about a position that will provide an interesting foreground – an unique tree, a geologic formation, or a body of water – as well as an expansive view of the night sky. Once you are on location, spend some time choosing your final composition. Once you have chosen a location, you can use the web site Clear Dark Sky to check their 48 hour forecasts about the potential for clear sky in a given location. You can use the web site Dark Sky Finder to look for possible dark sky locations near you. You also want to get as far from artificial lights as possible. Capturing star trails around the time of the new moon is preferable, so that bright moonlight does not wash out all the stars from the sky. (Most of the photographs in this article were shot at 18 mm and f/3.5 on my Tamron 18-270 mm lens.)Ĭhoose your location and timing carefully. A fast lens (one with a wide aperture, like f/1.8) is also preferred so that you can capture more light with each frame. I recommend a wide angle lens, like 18 mm (or wider), so that you can capture a larger expanse of the sky. A red headlamp or flashlight as well as a folding chair can also come in handy.
