This acquisition was reflected in a significant main effect of Day (F2,40 = 33.9, P < 0.001), but there was no evidence of a lesion effect (Group, Group × Day, both P > 0.1).
Using a 0.05 mmol/Kg dose, presaturation of the baseline signal prior to the PWI acquisition was done to reduce T1-effects as well as potential contrast leakage effects due to blood brain barrier disruption.
Furthermore, the PS-induced FMD effect based on FMD assessment by the sonographers at the time of the ultrasound acquisition was comparable with the FMD effect based on centrally assessed FMD by a single, blinded central reader (data not shown).
To elucidate the respiration effect, the acquisition was triggered at the beginning of deep inhalation, deep exhalation and breath holding.
Moreover, although no effect on acquisition was detected in C57BL/6J, a better retention was noted after administration of 1 mg/kg of PNU [ 44].
In contrast, the onset of Pseudomonas acquisition was associated with an independent effect size of -0.50 (95% CI -0.57– -0.42) percentage points per year.
A delay of 1 s between the end of the labeling pulse and image acquisition was inserted to reduce transit-related effects.
Participation in the main RCT and in this study entailed repeated HIV testing and individually-tailored risk reduction counseling at the baseline, 6 month, and 12 month study visits, and participants were informed that the evidence for MC having a protective effect against HIV acquisition was inconclusive.
The effect of FTC/TDF on incident syphilis and HIV acquisition was assessed.
Instead, the gradient used for slice-selective inversion in the labeling image acquisition was played out before the frequency-offset RF pulse [ 13], in the control image acquisition, to control for possible eddy current effects on slice acquisition.
