TL;DR: The results suggest that MIR is capable of operating at low photon count levels, therefore the method shows promise for use with conventional x-ray sources, and shows that, in addition to producing new types of object descriptions, MIR produces substantially more accurate images than its predecessor, DEI.
Abstract: Conventional radiography produces a single image of an object by measuring the attenuation of an x-ray beam passing through it When imaging weakly absorbing tissues, x-ray attenuation may be a suboptimal signature of diseaserelated information In this paper we describe a new phase-sensitive imaging method, called multiple-image radiography (MIR), which is an improvement on a prior technique called diffraction-enhanced imaging (DEI) This paper elaborates on our initial presentation of the idea in Wernick et al (2002 Proc Int SympBiomedImaging pp 129–32) MIR simultaneously produces several images from a set of measurements made with a single x-ray beam Specifically, MIR yields three images depicting separately the effects of refraction, ultrasmall-angle scatter and attenuation by the object All three images have good contrast, in part because they are virtually immune from degradation due to scatter at higher angles MIR also yields a very comprehensive object description, consisting of the angular intensity spectrum of a transmitted x-ray beam at every image pixel, within a narrow angular range Our experiments are based on data acquired using a synchrotron light source; however, in preparation for more practical implementations using conventional x-ray sources, we develop and evaluate algorithms designed for Poisson noise, which is characteristic of photon-limited imaging The results suggest that MIR is capable of operating at low photon count levels, therefore the method

TL;DR: Weinberg et al. as mentioned in this paper studied the evolution of bound systems in universes with accelerating expansion where the acceleration either increases with time towards a Big Rip singularity (phantom cosmologies) or decreases with time (quintessence).
Abstract: We study analytically and numerically the evolution of bound systems in universes with accelerating expansion where the acceleration either increases with time towards a Big Rip singularity (phantom cosmologies) or decreases with time (quintessence). We confirm the finding of Caldwell et al. [R. R. Caldwell, M. Kamionkowski and N. N. Weinberg, Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 071301 (2003).] that bound structures get dissociated in phantom cosmologies but we demonstrate that this happens earlier than anticipated in Ref. [R. R. Caldwell, M. Kamionkowski and N. N. Weinberg, Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 071301 (2003).]. In particular we find that the ``rip time'' when a bound system gets unbounded is not the time when the repulsive phantom energy gravitational potential due to the average $(\ensuremath{\rho}+3p)$ balances the attractive gravitational potential of the mass M of the system. Instead, the ``rip time'' is the time when the minimum of the time-dependent effective potential (including the centrifugal term) disappears. For the Milky Way galaxy this happens approximately 180 Myrs before the Big Rip singularity instead of approximately 60 Myrs indicated in [R. R. Caldwell, M. Kamionkowski and N. N. Weinberg, Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 071301 (2003).] for a phantom cosmology with $\mathrm{w}=\ensuremath{-}1.5$. A numerical reconstruction of the dissociating bound orbits is presented.

TL;DR: Lifestyle measures together with the judicious selection of drugs for the treatment of hypertension, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance associated with MetS may result in a reduction of SUA levels and possibly cardiovascular disease risk.
Abstract: Elevated serum uric acid (SUA) levels are commonly seen in patients with the metabolic syndrome (MetS). Several mechanisms, both direct and indirect, connect the increased SUA levels with the established diagnostic criteria of MetS. It is possible that the increased cardiovascular disease risk associated with the MetS is partially attributed to elevated circulating SUA concentration. Several drugs used in the treatment of MetS may alter SUA levels. Thus, lifestyle measures together with the judicious selection of drugs for the treatment of hypertension, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance associated with MetS may result in a reduction of SUA levels and possibly cardiovascular disease risk. This review summarizes the pathophysiologic association between SUA and MetS and focuses on the prevention of hyperuricemia and its cardiovascular consequences.
