Cardiovascular magnetic resonance and right ventricular angiography in assessment of right ventricular volumes, function and wall motion abnormalities in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy: a comparative study
… Force Criteria which include RV angiography (RVA) and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). There has been a dearth of studies to document the comparison of the performance of CMR and RVA, and none undertaken in Africa. The aim of this study was to compare CMR and RVA in the assessment of …

Investigating the dynamic nature of biomolecular condensates that support rotavirus replication
Group A rotaviruses (RVAs) induce the formation of viral replication factories, termed viroplasms, where new viral particle packaging and genome replication occur. The formation of such factories is driven by liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of an intrinsically disordered phosphoprotein NSP5, …
