New dawn fades: from imaging to quantitative imaging biomarkers and beyond
Journal Title: Scripta Medica (Banja Luka) - Year 2019, Vol 50, Issue 2
Abstract
In the modern ages of rapid technological and computational advances, development of numerous novel diagnostic imaging techniques have enabled not only visual detection of disease processes, but also provided the tools to achieve quantified functional, structural, dynamic, metabolic, and molecular information. A pathway toward the quantitative imaging by use of quantitative imaging biomarkers analysis has been widely opened, enabling further development of radiomics, radiogenomics, and radioproteinomics analysis in addition, and initiating the dawn of theranostics, eventually bringing the wishful personalized medicine concept closer to reality.

The effects of certain gasotransmitters inhibition on homocysteine acutely induced changes on rat cardiac acetylcholinesterase activity
Background/Aim: Hyperhomocysteinaemia is linked to higher level of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in brain, but there is insufficient information on influence of homocysteine (Hcy) and gasotransmitters on cardiac AChE. Thus...
Renin-angiotensin and kallikrein-kinin systems in diabetic retinopathy
This brief review describes how two complex systems, the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and the kallikrein-kinin system (KKS), affect the retina. It emphasises the important physiological actions of components of these s...
