Article Synopsis
- Differentiating left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) from conditions like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and Fabry disease is complex and often requires input from various specialists, which leads to inconsistent diagnoses.
- *A new AI-based tool called the MRI short-axis view left ventricular hypertrophy classifier (MSLVHC) has been developed to accurately distinguish HCM from Fabry disease using MRI cine images and has shown high accuracy and strong performance metrics.
- *The model not only demonstrated reliability in tests at two hospitals but also holds potential to enhance the diagnostic process for specialists dealing with LVH-related conditions.
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress plays a vital role in mediating ischemic reperfusion damage in brain. In this study, we evaluated whether melatonin inhibits ER stress in cultured neurons exposed to oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) and in rats subjected to transient focal cerebral ischemia. Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with melatonin (5 mg/kg) or control at reperfusion onset after transient occlusion of the right middle cerebral artery (MCA) for 90 min.

The incorporated AuNPs is distributed uniformly inside the thin film and is as dense as 650 (particles/μm(3)). In addition, enhanced ultraviolet (UV) fluorescence centered at 350 nm is observed from the AuNPs-containing chicken albumen thin film.

Methods: Ninety-four non-smoking female patients with a history of motion sickness and/or PONV (Apfel's simplified risk score=3; predicted incidence of PONV=60%) were eligible to participate in this randomized, double-blind study.
