- Several studies have explored the neural correlates of trans individuals, revealing inconsistent findings. This particular study focused on comparing functional connectivity, cognitive profiles, and hormone levels among trans men with gender dysphoria, cisgender men, and cisgender women.
- A total of 42 participants underwent resting state fMRI and hormonal analysis, revealing that trans men showed reduced functional connectivity in various brain regions and performed worse in certain cognitive tasks compared to cisgender men, but similarly to cisgender women.
- The study found significant correlations between testosterone and specific brain areas in trans men, indicating potential neural differences that challenge binary gender models and highlight the unique neural characteristics present in those with gender dysphoria.
Article Synopsis
- Asbestosis is a lung disease linked to asbestos exposure, primarily affecting people in industries like construction and mining.
- Accurate diagnosis in deceased individuals relies on postmortem investigations, with histopathological examination being the most reliable method.
- This case study of an 84-year-old demonstrated that thorough autopsy procedures can effectively confirm asbestosis diagnosis even after a year of decomposition, reinforcing the importance of autopsy in forensic investigations.
Post-contrast acute kidney injury is defined as a nephropathy with an increase in serum creatinine of >0.3 mg/dL (or >26.5 μmol/L) or >1.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFDocumented cases of sodium nitrite toxicity are almost exclusively caused by accidental ingestion; however, self-poisoning with sodium nitrite represents an increasing trend in nitrate-related deaths. This systematic review summarizes the most crucial evidence regarding the fatal toxicity of sodium nitrite. It identifies gaps and differences in the diagnostic forensic approaches and the detection methods of sodium nitrite intoxication.
