An unilateral double fenestration of the right external jugular vein: a rare variant.

Objectives: This report presents a rare anatomical variation, double fenestration of the External jugular vein on the right side.

Materials And Methods: During the routine dissection of a male cadaver aged 60 years, we observed a unilateral large double fenestration of the External jugular vein on the right side.

Results: After its formation from the posterior division of the retromandibular and posterior auricular veins, External jugular vein descended in the posterior triangle of neck.

Regional-based static and dynamic alterations in Alzheimer disease: a longitudinal study.

Background:  Alzheimer disease (AD) leads to cognitive decline and alters functional connectivity (FC) in key brain regions. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) assesses these changes using static-FC for overall correlation and dynamic-FC for temporal variability.

Objective:  In AD, there is altered FC compared to normal conditions.

Natural products from reconstructed bacterial genomes of the Middle and Upper Paleolithic.

Major advances over the past decade in the field of ancient DNA are providing access to past paleogenomic diversity, but the diverse functions and biosynthetic capabilities of this growing paleome remain largely elusive. We investigated the dental calculus of 12 Neanderthals and 52 anatomically modern humans ranging from 100,000 years ago to the present and reconstructed 459 bacterial metagenome-assembled genomes. We identified a biosynthetic gene cluster shared by seven Middle and Upper Paleolithic individuals that allows for the heterologous production of a class of previously unknown metabolites that we name "paleofurans.

Morphological Study of the Thebesian Valve in Fresh Autopsied Adult Human Hearts.

Background The coronary sinus (CS) and its tributaries have been used to perform various electrophysiological and cardiac interventional procedures which require cannulation. The Thebesian valve (TV) guarding the coronary sinus orifice (CSO) exhibits morphological variations which might make cannulation unsuccessful leading to the failure of invasive cardiac procedures. This study aimed to analyze in detail the morphological features of the TV in fresh autopsied human hearts which were representative of the adult population of this region owing to its practical implications in invasive cardiac procedures.

Deep learning model using retinal vascular images for classifying schizophrenia.

Contemporary psychiatric diagnosis still relies on the subjective symptom report of the patient during a clinical interview by a psychiatrist. Given the significant variability in personal reporting and differences in the skill set of psychiatrists, it is desirable to have objective diagnostic markers that could help clinicians differentiate patients from healthy individuals. A few recent studies have reported retinal vascular abnormalities in patients with schizophrenia (SCZ) using retinal fundus images.
