Objective To compare the macular structure and microcirculation in both eyes of the patients with myopic anisometropia.Methods Optical coherence tomography angiography(OCTA)was employed to scan the macular areas in both eyes of 44 patients with myopic anisometropia.The patients were assigned into high and low groups based on the refractive diopter,and the parameters such as retinal thickness,choroidal thickness,vascular density,and perfusion density in the macular areas of both eyes were compared between the two groups.

However, neuroimaging investigations remain focused on static changes in brain activity among RD patients. There is limited knowledge regarding the characteristics of dynamic brain activity in RD patients.

Methods: Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans were performed on 82 HM patients and 59 HCs who were closely matched for age, sex, and weight. Seed-based FC analysis was performed to identify alterations in the sFC and dFC patterns of the V1 in HM patients and HCs.
Aim: Patients with high myopia (HM) reportedly exhibit changes in functional brain activity, but the mechanism underlying such changes is unclear. This study was conducted to observe differences in dynamic spontaneous brain activity between patients with HM and healthy controls (HCs) dynamic regional homogeneity (dReHo) analysis.
Methods: Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) scans were performed on 82 patients with HM and 59 HCs who were closely matched for age, sex, and weight.
Aim: Resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) was used to analyze changes in functional connectivity (FC) within various brain networks and functional network connectivity (FNC) among various brain regions in patients with high myopia (HM).
Methods: rs-fMRI was used to scan 82 patients with HM (HM group) and 59 healthy control volunteers (HC group) matched for age, sex, and education level. Fourteen resting state networks (RSNs) were extracted, of which 11 were positive.
Purpose: Converging evidence demonstrated that bronchial asthma (BA) individuals with hypoxia were associated with functional and morphological reorganization in the brain. However, the alterations of the interhemispheric functional connectivity in BA individuals remain unknown. The purpose of this study was to assess the interhemispheric functional connectivity changes in individuals with hypoxia due to middle-aged BA using voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC) methods.
