TBSS analysis of white matter fasciculus in chronic insomnia and the relationship with sleep quality and cognitive function.

Eighty patients with chronic insomnia and 50 normal controls were selected. Evaluation scales included Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Dysfunctional Beliefs and Attitudes about Sleep, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, Self-Rating Depression Scale, Ruminative Responses Scale and Social Disability Screening Schedule. All patients and controls underwent whole-brain DTI scanning and Tract-Based Spatial Statistics (TBSS) analysis was performed.

Altered dynamic and static brain activity and functional connectivity in COVID-19 patients: a preliminary study.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of COVID-19 on brain functional activity through resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI). fMRI scans were conducted on a cohort of 42 confirmed COVID-19-positive patients and 46 healthy controls (HCs) to assess brain functional activity. A combination of dynamic and static amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (dALFF/sALFF) and dynamic and static functional connectivity (dFC/sFC) was used for evaluation.

Amide proton transfer imaging in rats after heatstroke.

Metabolic acidosis is the most common acid-base change following heatstroke. This study aimed to evaluate the internal environment changes caused by heatstroke using amide proton transfer (APT) imaging. Nineteen male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the control group (CTRL, n  = 7) and the heatstroke group (HS, n  = 12).

Application of diffusion tensor imaging and functional alterations in evaluating brain alterations related to heatstroke in a rat model.

Objectives: To assess the alterations in resting-state functions and neural structures in the brain of a heatstroke rat model and explore the underlying relationship.

Methods: In total, 17 male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into a control group (CTRL, n = 7) and a heatstroke group (HS, n = 10). All rats underwent 7.

MR features of high-pressure injection injuries caused by grease and paints.

Objective: This study investigates the magnetic resonance (MR) features of high-pressure injection injuries (HPII) caused by grease and paints to detect the presence of foreign material and associated complications.

Methods: Sixteen rat models with HPII were established by injecting industrial grease and marine paints (n = 8 each) into their thighs. All the rats underwent a 3.

Magnetic compression for anastomosis in treating an infant born with long-gap oesophageal atresia: A case report.

Rationale: Neonatal long-gap esophageal atresia (LGEA) with tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is an uncommon but serious congenital malformation of the esophagus in newborns, and it remains challenging for pediatric surgeons. Magnetic compress has been shown to be effective for the treatment of LGEA in children and adults. However, the implementation of this unique technique for neonatal LGEA has not been evaluated.
