Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the impact of neurodevelopmental disorders (NF1, TSC, FXS, and NS) on brain volume, particularly focusing on global and subcortical structures, to understand disease mechanisms.
  • A meta-analysis of 23 studies involving 1,556 subjects revealed that NF1 and FXS are associated with larger brain volumes, while NS shows smaller brain volumes.
  • Notably, TSC showed no significant differences in brain volume compared to typical controls, with no moderating effects from age, sex, or IQ observed across studies.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study focuses on a rare case where a patient's left vertebral artery originates from the left external carotid artery, highlighting its embryological background.
  • - The case involved a 55-year-old male with sepsis who underwent CT and CT angiography, revealing a unique vertebral artery anatomy, while his right vertebral artery was underdeveloped (hypoplastic).
  • - The findings indicate that such anatomical variations are usually asymptomatic but are important for medical professionals to recognize for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.

Objective: The aim of this systematic review is to investigate the literature to assess the effect of dental fluorosis on the Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL).

Materials And Methods: Included studies were epidemiological investigations, clinical trials, or human studies that directly compared the impact on OHRQoL between individuals with dental fluorosis and those without, utilizing valid OHRQoL assessment tools. The searches were conducted up to March 2024 in databases, including PubMed, Scielo, LILACS, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and the Virtual Health Library.

Defining the molecular mechanisms underlying cardiac resilience is crucial to find effective approaches to protect the heart. A physiologic level of ROS is produced in the heart by fatty acid oxidation, but stressful events can boost ROS and cause mitochondrial dysfunction and cardiac functional impairment. Melusin is a muscle specific chaperone required for myocardial compensatory remodeling during stress.
