Association of Favorable Cerebrospinal Fluid Markers With Reversion of Mild Cognitive Impairment Due to Parkinson's Disease.

Objective: Cognitive impairment is a common nonmotor symptom among individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). Although cognitive impairment generally develops progressively, individuals with PD-associated mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI) may revert to being cognitively normal (CN), which is referred to as PD-MCI reversion. Previous studies are inconsistent in whether PD-MCI reverters are at greater risk for PD-MCI recurrence relative to CN individuals.

Bone scan images dataset for study of bone metastases in adult breast cancer patients at IICS-UNA, Paraguay.

This article presents 582 bone scan images from 291 adult patients who attended the Nuclear Medicine Service at the Instituto de Investigaciones en Ciencias de la Salud (IICS) of the Universidad Nacional de Asunción (UNA), Paraguay, between 2020 and 2024. The images were acquired using trimodal SPECT-CT-PET equipment, model AnyScan SCP, and the MEDISO brand. Approximately 20 mCi of technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate (Tc-MDP) was administered to each patient, producing whole-body planar images in anterior and posterior projections of the axial and appendicular skeleton with a resolution of 256 × 1024 pixels.

Thyroid scan image dataset for the study of thyroid pathologies in adult patients.

This article presents a dataset containing 641 images of Thyroid Gammagraphies studies corresponding to 235 patients over 18 years of age that were acquired in the period from 2016 to 2024 at the Nuclear Medicine Service of the of the (IICS - UNA), Paraguay. First, the Thyroid Gammagraphies images were acquired according to the acquisition protocol described in this article. The thyroid scintigraphies images were acquired using trimodal SPECT-CT-PET equipment, model AnyScan SCP, MEDISO brand.

Effects of heat stress abatement on behavioral response in lactating dairy cows prior to and following an intramammary lipopolysaccharide infusion.

The assessment of animal behavior serves as a valuable approach to identify illness and animal responses to environmental stimuli. Both heat stress and mastitis are reported to impact the behavioral responses of dairy cattle. However, little is known about the effects of heat stress on the lactating cow's behavioral responses to mastitis.

Metataxonomic analysis of endophytic bacteria of blackberry (Rubus ulmifolius Schott) across tissues and environmental conditions.

(1) Background: Endophytic bacteria represent an important component of plant wellness. They have been widely studied for their involvement in plant development and enhancement of stress tolerance. In this work, the endophytic communities of roots, stems, and leaves of blackberry (Rubus ulmifolius Schott) were studied in three different niches: natural, riverside, and human-impacted niches.
