Article Synopsis
- Chronic coronary heart disease (CHD) is linked to a higher risk of cognitive impairment, and this study aims to uncover how changes in brain activity relate to this decline.
- The research involved 71 CHD patients and 73 healthy controls, assessing cognitive functions using tests and measuring brain activity with techniques like regional homogeneity (ReHo) and fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (fALFF).
- Findings showed that CHD patients had lower cognitive scores and reduced brain activity in specific regions, indicating that diminished brain function could mediate the impact of coronary artery plaque on cognitive decline.
Frontometaphyseal dysplasia 2 (FMD2) is a rare disease caused by MAP3K7 gene mutation. We report a 7-year-old sporadic patient with FMD2 due to a de novo splicing variant in MAP3K7. He has the common characteristics of FMD2 but also has some characteristics that have never been reported, which increases the clinical phenotype of FMD2.
