A Neurocinematic Study of the Suspense Effects in Hitchcock's Psycho

As a new and rapidly emerging cross-disciplinary research field, neurocinematics focuses on movie research from an empirical perspective, adopting functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and other cognitive neuroscience technologies a...

Trends in Magnetic Resonance Imaging Utilization and Treatment of Pediatric Tibial Spine Fractures: A National Database Study.

The Architecture of an Automatic eHealth Platform With Mobile Client for Cerebrovascular Disease Detection

BackgroundIn recent years, cerebrovascular disease has been the leading cause of death and adult disability in the world. This study describes an efficient approach to detect cerebrovascular disease. ObjectiveIn order to improve...

White matter structural changes in the visual pathway of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy patients: a free water and multi-shell diffusion imaging study

BackgroundCompared to single-shell diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), free water (FW) and neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI) offer a more comprehensive evaluation of microstructural alterations in cerebral white matter ...

Correlation between the Findings of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Shoulder and Shoulder Arthroscopy

Introduction: Shoulder pain is a significant cause of decreased functional activity of an individual. The overall prevalence of shoulder pain is 16-26%, which makes it the third most common cause among musculoskeletal complaints. The cau...

Correlation between frailty and reduction in cortical thickness in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Abstract Physical inactivity and cognitive impairment in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can lead to frailty and poor prognoses. However, little is known regarding the association between frailty and the human bra...

Vertex-wise multivariate genome-wide association study identifies 780 unique genetic loci associated with cortical morphology

Brain morphology has been shown to be highly heritable, yet only a small portion of the heritability is explained by the genetic variants discovered so far. Here we extended the Multivariate Omnibus Statistical Test (MOSTest) and applied it...

Sex-Related Differences in Regional Homogeneity and Intolerance of Uncertainty in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: A Resting-State fMRI Study

Brain‐Penetrating and Disease Site‐Targeting Manganese Dioxide‐Polymer‐Lipid Hybrid Nanoparticles Remodel Microenvironment of Alzheimer's Disease by Regulating Multiple Pathological Pathways

Abstract Finding effective disease‐modifying treatment for Alzheimer's disease remains challenging due to an array of factors contributing to the loss of neural function. The current study demonstrates a new strategy, using multitargeted bi...

Non-invasive large-scale imaging of concurrent neuronal, astrocytic, and hemodynamic activity with hybrid multiplexed fluorescence and magnetic resonance imaging (HyFMRI)

Abstract A critical gap currently exists in systematic understanding and experimental validation of the role of astrocytes in neurovascular coupling and their functional links with other brain cells. Despite a broad selection of functional ...

Application of TyG index and carotid ultrasound parameters in the prediction of ischemic stroke

ObjectiveThe triglyceride - glucose (TyG) index has been confirmed as an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke (IS) in numerous studies. In terms of the role of carotid ultrasound in the risk assessment of IS, the focus has shifted fr...

Superparamagnetic iron oxide-enhanced magnetic resonance for imaging cardiac inflammation. A minireview

Background: Advances in nanotechnology have lead to the development of a novel contrast media for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) - the superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (SPIO). SPIO nanoparticles are used to image inflammation on...

Conjunctival lymphangioma in a 4-year-old girl revealed tuberous sclerosis complex

Background: To present a case of conjunctival lymphangioma in a girl with tuberous sclerosis complex.Methods/results: A 4-year-old girl presented with a relapsing cystic lesion of the bulbar conjunctiva in the right eye with string-of-pear...

DETECTION & DIFFERENTIATION OF SOFT TISSUE INJURIES IN ADVANCE MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI)

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Radiology is the application of the science of diagnostic imaging to questions of clinical and medicolegal practice. Forensic medicine refers to the application of medical knowledge in the collection of medical evidence...

TRACK-CF prospective cohort study: Understanding early cystic fibrosis lung disease

BackgroundLung disease as major cause for morbidity in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) starts early in life. Its large phenotypic heterogeneity is partially explained by the genotype but other contributing factors are not well delineated...

HEALTH TECHNOLOGY DIFFUSION RATES

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the rates and influences on the adoption of three selected health technologies: statins, coronary stents, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS: A retrospective diffusion study using primary care prescribing da...
