Enhanced Long-Term Cycling Life of Ni-Rich NMC Cathodes in High-Voltage Lithium-Metal Batteries.

Li metal batteries (LMBs) have revived people's interest due to their high energy density. This work compares the cycling stability, structure stability, and thermal stability of Li||0.7Nb-NMC 9055 (0.

Glutathione Depletion and Concomitant Elevation of Susceptibility in Patients with Parkinson's Disease: State-of-the-Art MR Spectroscopy and Neuropsychological Study.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by extrapyramidal motor disturbances and nonmotor cognitive impairments which impact activities of daily living. Although the etiology of PD is still obscure, autopsy reports suggest that oxidative stress (OS) is one of the important factors in the pathophysiology of PD. In the current study, we have investigated the impact of OS in PD by measuring the antioxidant glutathione (GSH) levels from the substantia nigra (SN), left hippocampus (LH) and neurotransmitter γ-amino butyric acid (GABA) levels from SN region.

SWADESH: a multimodal multi-disease brain imaging and neuropsychological database and data analytics platform.

Multimodal neuroimaging data of various brain disorders provides valuable information to understand brain function in health and disease. Various neuroimaging-based databases have been developed that mainly consist of volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. We present the comprehensive web-based neuroimaging platform "SWADESH" for hosting multi-disease, multimodal neuroimaging, and neuropsychological data along with analytical pipelines.

Quantitation of Brain and Blood Glutathione and Iron in Healthy Age Groups Using Biophysical and In Vivo MR Spectroscopy: Potential Clinical Application.

The antioxidant glutathione (GSH) and pro-oxidant iron levels play a balancing role in the modulation of oxidative stress (OS). There is a significant depletion of GSH in the left hippocampus (LH) in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) with concomitant elevation of iron level. However, the correlation of GSH and iron distribution patterns between the brain and the peripheral system (blood) is not yet known.

Schizophrenia, Bipolar and Major Depressive Disorders: Overview of Clinical Features, Neurotransmitter Alterations, Pharmacological Interventions, and Impact of Oxidative Stress in the Disease Process.

Psychiatric disorders are one of the leading causes of disability worldwide and affect the quality of life of both individuals and the society. The current understanding of these disorders points toward receptor dysfunction and neurotransmitter imbalances in the brain. Treatment protocols are hence oriented toward normalizing these imbalances and ameliorating the symptoms.

Hippocampal glutathione depletion with enhanced iron level in patients with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease compared with healthy elderly participants.

Oxidative stress has been implicated in Alzheimer's disease, and it is potentially driven by the depletion of primary antioxidant, glutathione, as well as elevation of the pro-oxidant, iron. Present study evaluates glutathione level by magnetic resonance spectroscopy, iron deposition by quantitative susceptibility mapping in left hippocampus, as well as the neuropsychological scores of healthy old participants ( = 25), mild cognitive impairment ( = 16) and Alzheimer's disease patients ( = 31). Glutathione was found to be significantly depleted in mild cognitive impaired ( < 0.

PRATEEK: Integration of Multimodal Neuroimaging Data to Facilitate Advanced Brain Research.

Background: In vivo neuroimaging modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional MRI (fMRI), magnetoencephalography (MEG), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), and quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) are useful techniques to understand brain anatomical structure, functional activity, source localization, neurochemical profiles, and tissue susceptibility respectively. Integrating unique and distinct information from these neuroimaging modalities will further help to enhance the understanding of complex neurological diseases.

Objective: To develop a processing scheme for multimodal data integration in a seamless manner on healthy young population, thus establishing a generalized framework for various clinical conditions (e.

BRAHMA: Population specific T1, T2, and FLAIR weighted brain templates and their impact in structural and functional imaging studies.

Differences in brain morphology across population groups necessitate creation of population-specific Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) brain templates for interpretation of neuroimaging data. Variations in the neuroanatomy in a genetically heterogeneous population make the development of a population-specific brain template for the Indian subcontinent imperative. A dataset of high-resolution 3D T1, T2-weighted, and FLAIR images acquired from a group of 113 volunteers (M/F - 56/57, mean age-28.
