Cytidine Triphosphate (CTP)

01/01/2014 - "The evaluated approach of volumetric mismatch assessment is superior to pure visual and ASPECTS penumbra pattern assessment in WB-CTP and helps to precisely judge the extent of 3-dimensional mismatch in acute stroke patients."

06/05/2012 - "Location-weighted CTP analysis predicts early motor improvement in stroke: a preliminary study."

01/01/2015 - "In the treatment of patients with suspected acute ischemic stroke, increasing evidence suggests the importance of measuring the volume of the irreversibly injured "ischemic core." The gold standard method for doing this in the clinical setting is diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI), but many authors suggest that maps of regional cerebral blood volume (CBV) derived from computed tomography perfusion imaging (CTP) can substitute for DWI. "

06/01/2011 - "Recent studies have suggested that the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score is superior to the Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score as a predictor of postoperative mortality, especially up to 90 days. "

06/01/2014 - "In this study, we try to evaluate the prognostic value of Tβ4 in acute-on-chronic liver failure (AoCLF) patients by comparing with the Child-Pugh (CTP) and Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) scores. "

04/15/2014 - "CTP acts simultaneously on the same target in both the tumor and its stroma that generates a bilateral disruption for potentially improved cancer therapy. "
02/01/2015 - "This preclinical study provides evidence that FD-CTP allows a time-resolved (dynamic) perfusion imaging of tumors similar to CTP, which provides the basis for clinical applications such as the assessment of tumor response to locoregional therapies directly in the angiography suite."
02/01/2015 - "The objective of this study was to compare the parameter maps of a new flat-panel detector application for time-resolved perfusion imaging in the angiography room (FD-CTP) with computed tomography perfusion (CTP) in an experimental tumor model. "
11/01/2014 - "To study the effects of four different rigid alignment approaches on both time-concentration curves (TCCs) and perfusion maps in computed tomography perfusion (CTp) studies of liver and lung tumors. "
05/01/2014 - "Twenty patients underwent CTP studies of head and neck tumors with images acquired in cine mode for 50 seconds using sampling interval of 1 second. "

01/01/2013 - "MELD score is superior to CTP score in predicting survival at the time of discharge in hospitalized patients with decompensated cirrhosis. "
07/01/2006 - "However, there is debate as whether it is superior to CTP score to predict mortality in patients with cirrhosis on the LT waiting list and after LT. "
06/01/2005 - "DeltaMELD is superior to initial MELD and CTP scores to predict intermediate term outcome in patients with advanced cirrhosis."
02/01/2015 - "However, weighted mean mortality rates based on previous studies of cardiac surgery in patients with hepatic disease demonstrate operative mortality rates that range from 9.88% (standard deviation [SD] 9.69) for patients in Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) class A cirrhosis to 69.23% (SD 28.55) for patients with CTP class C cirrhosis. "
06/01/2014 - "We conducted a prospective trial at a tertiary care referral institute in New Delhi, India, from January 2012 through March 2013, of patients with cirrhosis without overt HE (age, 48.6 ± 11.1 y; 96 men and 64 women); 25 were Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) class A, 51 were CTP class B, and 84 were CTP class C. "

05/01/2002 - "The Z scores of NTx and I CTP were 2.37 and 2.04, respectively, indicating that NTx is superior to I CTP in sensitivity to bone metastasis because of its higher Z score and its higher area under the ROC curve. "
10/01/2008 - "Preliminary results suggest an improved detection of liver metastases for CTP compared to four-phase CT."
10/01/2008 - "The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a total-liver-volume perfusion CT (CTP) technique for the detection and characterization of liver metastases. "
