Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Magnetochemistry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) technique probing the microscopic movement of water molecules in tissue, allows for the quantification of water diffusivity and the contribution of perfusion to the total amount of water. In the last decades, its use in organs other than the brain has increased and it has successfully been applied to abdominal organs; otherwise the use of DWI for the assessment of perfusion (by measuring perfusion fraction and edema (by measuring the apparent diffusion coefficient—ADC) of entire organs is not a clinical standard. The aim of this paper is to assess whether DWI, specifically IVIM, can accurately assess edema (the amount of water contained in a tissue) and perfusion in abdominal organs (liver, spleen, intestine and kidneys) in an endotoxemic porcine model. Endotoxemia was induced in 20 piglets and they were divided into three groups: HM group (HighMAP, mean arterial pressure was maintained >65 mmHg by noradrenaline infusion), LM group (LowMAP, MAP was maintained between 50 and 60 mmHg) and LTD (the thoracic duct was ligated to increase abdominal edema). In addition, a fourth group of healthy controls (four animals) underwent MRI. Edema was also assessed by wet–dry weight in liver, spleen and intestine; and perfusion was assessed by hemodynamics, lactate concentration and SvO2. ADC was found to be higher in the intestine of the LTD group compared with the other groups, in accordance with wet–dry weight. In addition, ADC in kidneys was found to be correlated to glomerular filtration rate. f was correlated with hemodynamics in kidneys and liver. The presented data show that there is a potential for clinical use of the technique in septic patients. Full article
