Article Synopsis
- - Rs-fMRI is proposed as a viable alternative to T-fMRI for preoperative mapping in brain tumor patients, focusing on treatment guidance and predicting neurodegeneration.
- - A systematic review of 18 studies involving 1035 patients showed that Rs-fMRI accurately detects neural networks and correlates well with intraoperative direct cortical stimulation (DCS) results.
- - Rs-fMRI is particularly useful when T-fMRI is challenging due to individual patient factors, making it a valuable tool for screening and evaluating brain tumors and improving surgical outcomes.
Background And Objectives: Types and amounts of nutrients may influence the volume of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT). This study targeted to investigate the relationship between SAT and VAT volumes and macro- and micronutrients intake among adults.
Methods And Study Design: Data were collected via a private face-to-face interview, in which diet history was obtained using validated quantitative food frequency questionnaire.
Background: To measure the abdominal subcutaneous fat (SF) and visceral fat (VF) volumes using high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to investigate their association with selected anthropometric and biochemical parameters among obese and nonobese apparently healthy participants.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted by recruiting 167 healthy participants. Abdominal scans were acquired at 3T MRI, and the SF and VF were segmented and their volumes were calculated.
