Significantly, the cylindrical equation produced approximately twice the error compared to truncated cone, with 3 cm (0.58 vs. 1.72%) and truncated cone equation (0.27 vs. Results: Relative error increased with slice interval using the cylindrical (0.45 vs. 元 skeletal muscle index (SMI) was also calculated in 30 patients. Absolute and relative error (compared to 1 cm slice interval) was generated for 2-, 3-, and 4 cm slice intervals. Quadriceps MV was estimated utilizing 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4 cm slice intervals with both cylindrical and truncated cone equations. A 3T MRI scan was completed of the lower limbs. Methods: Thirty eight ESLD patients (23 males 54.8 ± 10.7 years) were recruited from the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Birmingham. Further, we aimed to compare two equations utilized in estimating MV (cylindrical and truncated cone). This study aimed to investigate the impact of reducing the number of slices required for MV estimation.

However, manual segmentation of muscle volume (MV) can be laborious on cross-sectional imaging, due to the number of slices that require analysis. Therefore, the accurate assessment of muscle mass is essential to evaluate sarcopenia in ESLD. Introduction: End stage liver disease (ESLD) is associated with loss of muscle mass and function, known as sarcopenia, which can increase the risk of complications of ESLD, hospitalization and mortality. 8Liver Unit, Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom.7Department of Biosciences, Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham, United Kingdom.6MRC-Versus Arthritis Centre for Musculoskeletal Ageing Research, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom.


Here's a recipe for a rich yet light, flourless chestnut cake that's easy to make - and even easier to eat! Whenever I'm in France, I always buy chestnut purée in the supermarket.

It was a little taste of France before I ever visited the country, in a tin with Art Nouveau decorations (the tin hasn't changed much over the years!). When I was little, my mum often had a can of it in her larder, for making Mont Blanc (meringue topped with chesnut purée and cream) and as a filling for crèpes. You can buy sweetened chestnut purée in cans or tubes in any French supermarket, and in some UK supermarkets (Waitrose keep it).
