Central vein sign: A diagnostic biomarker in multiple sclerosis (CAVS-MS) study protocol for a prospective multicenter trial

The specificity and implementation of current MRI-based diagnostic criteria for multiple sclerosis (MS) are imperfect. Approximately 1 in 5 of individuals diagnosed with MS are eventually determined not to have the disease, with overrelianc...

UPDATED GUIDELINE FOR VALIDATING WHOLE SLIDE IMAGING SYSTEMS FROM THE COLLEGE OF AMERICAN PATHOLOGISTS

Grey matter volume associations with personality functioning in a clinical cohort of female youths

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a severe mental illness, although its neurobiological underpinnings remain largely unknown. Structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging (sMRI) in adolescents can offer insights into potential biomarkers to...

Bioinformatics and Medical Informatics: Collaborations on the Road to Genomic Medicine?

In this report, the authors compare and contrast medical informatics (MI) and bioinformatics (BI) and provide a viewpoint on their complementarities and potential for collaboration in various subfields. The authors compare MI and BI along s...

Data for: Terrain units, land use/cover, and gross primary productivity of the largest fluvial basin in the Brazilian Amazonia/Cerrado ecotone: The Araguaia River Basin

Integrity of most of tropical wetlands is threatened because they are often considered freely available resources of land and water. The Araguaia River Basin is one of the Brazilian basins most influenced by tropical seasonal floods, in add...

Clinically feasible NODDI characterization of glioma using multiband EPI at 7 T

Recent technological progress in the multiband echo planer imaging (MB EPI) technique enables accelerated MR diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and allows whole brain, multi-b-value diffusion imaging to be acquired within a clinically feasibl...

Data describing the poor outcome associated with a breast cancer diagnosis in the post-weaning period

Postpartum breast cancer (PPBC) - which according to new data, can extend to 5–10 years after the birth - are estimated to represent 35–55% of all cases of breast cancer in women younger than 45 years. Increasing clinical evidence indicates...

Medical informatics

During last few decades, medical experts have collaborate with the engineers to develop advanced techniques and tools for improving the significances of medical diagnosing techniques. Especially, with the development of high-resolution imag...

Neural substrates of motor and cognitive dysfunctions in SCA2 patients: A network based statistics analysis

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease characterized by a progressive cerebellar syndrome, which can be isolated or associated with extracerebellar signs. It has been shown that patients affe...

Sex-specific frontal-striatal connectivity differences among adolescents with externalizing disorders

Background: Sex-specific neurobiological underpinnings of impulsivity in youth with externalizing disorders have not been well studied. The only report of functional connectivity (FC) findings in this area demonstrated sex differences in fr...

Medical Imaging Informatics and Medical Informatics: Opportunities and Constraints

OBJECTIVES: The Yearbook of Medical Informatics is published annually by the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) and contains a selection of recent excellent papers on medical informatics research (http://www.yearbook.uni-h...

Prenatal to postnatal trajectory of brain growth in complex congenital heart disease

Altered brain development is a common feature of the neurological sequelae of complex congenital heart disease (CHD). These alterations include abnormalities in brain size and growth that begin prenatally and persist postnatally. However, t...

Prediction of the Leaf Primordia of Potato Tubers Using Sensor Fusion and Wavelength Selection

The sprouting of potato tubers during storage is a significant problem that suppresses obtaining high quality seeds or fried products. In this study, the potential of fusing data obtained from visible (VIS)/near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic...

A Review of Age-related Macular Degeneration and Current Concepts in Management

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a prevalent and progressive retinal disease that affects a substantial number of elderly individuals worldwide. This manuscript provides a comprehensive overview of the current concepts in the manag...

Designing and Evaluation of Reliability and Validity of Visual Cue-Induced Craving Assessment Task for Methamphetamine Smokers

A B S T R A C TIntroduction: Craving to methamphetamine is a significant health concern and exposure to methamphetamine cues in laboratory can induce craving. In this study, a task designing procedure for evaluating methamphetamine cue-indu...

The Effect of APOE ɛ4 on the Functional Connectivity in Frontoparietal Network in Hypertensive Patients

Allele 4 of the apolipoprotein E gene (APOE ε4) and hypertension are considered risk factors for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). The detection of differences in cognitive function and brain networks between hypertensive patients who are APOE ε4 c...

Alterations in white matter fiber density associated with structural MRI and metabolic PET lesions following multimodal therapy in glioma patients

BackgroundIn glioma patients, multimodality therapy and recurrent tumor can lead to structural brain tissue damage characterized by pathologic findings in MR and PET imaging. However, little is known about the impact of different types of d...

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience is a first-tier electronic journal devoted to understanding the brain mechanisms supporting cognitive and social behavior in humans, and how these mechanisms might be altered in disease states. The last 25 ye...

Neuroscience and education

Neuroscience is a relatively new discipline encompassing neurology, psychology and biology. It has made great strides in the last 100 years, during which many aspects of the physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology and structure of the verteb...
