The International Society of Magnetic Resonance(ISMAR) is the only international scientific organization that represents the whole range of the important research field of magnetic resonance(MR), in particular nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR), electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR), and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI). These and other MR-methods are used as main research tools in a very wide range of fields including physics, chemistry, life sciences, materials research and medicine. 1, record 1, English, - International%20Society%20of%20Magnetic%20Resonance

Another pattern of regional metabolic abnormality was present in the MELAS syndrome, where proton spectroscopic imaging demonstrated focal localization of abnormally increased lactate/creatine and decreased N-acetylaspartate/creatine to the regions of the stroke-like lesions on conventional MR images. Serial studies emphasized that the regional metabolic abnormalities in MELAS are highly variable as the stroke-like lesions appear and evolve. 2, record 2, English, - mitochondrial%20encephalopathy%2Dlactic%20encephalomyopathy%2Dlactic%20acidosis
