Context: An electronic survey was conducted to identify the most important nonclinical skills currently required of radiologic technologists to better prepare baccalaureate radiography graduates to meet workplace demands.
Results: Survey results of American Healthcare Radiology Administrators (AHRA) members in the Midwestern United States indicate that skills pertaining to departmental systems and human resources administration are of greatest importance, regardless of geographic location.
Conclusion: An emphasis on medical informatics, diversity and health care communication would benefit both radiography graduates and radiology departments.

The cervical uncinate process is a unique structure of the cervical spine that undergoes significant changes in its morphological characteristics with age, and these changes may be related to osteoporosis. This study aimed to observe the distribution of cancellous bone in the cervical uncinate process and its morphological features using micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT) to gain a deeper understanding of the morphological characteristics of the uncinate microstructure. We performed Micro-CT scans on 31 sets of C3-C7 vertebrae, a total of 155 intact bone samples, and subsequently used the measurement software with the Micro-CT system to obtain parameters related to the cancellous bone of the uncinate process.

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is an inheritable skeletal disorder characterized by bone fragility often caused by pathogenic variants in the COL1A1 gene. Current OI mouse models with a glycine substitution in Col1a1 exhibit excessive severity, thereby limiting long-term pathophysiological analysis and drug effect assessments. To address this limitation, we constructed a novel OI mouse model mimicking a patient with OI type III.

We evaluated the role of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-related chronic gastritis in the development of osteoporosis in a population-based study. A total of 1690 subjects in the cohort of the Research on Osteoarthritis/ osteoporosis Against Disability (ROAD) were investigated, and the association between gastritis and osteoporosis was evaluated by the presence of serologically assessed H.

Recently, neuroimaging-derived brain-age estimation by machine-learning analysis has shown promise as an individual-level biomarker. We investigated the relationship between NPS and brain-age in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early dementia.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: In comparison to robust evidence for cognitive reserve (CR) in individuals with Alzheimer's-related dementia, the literature on CR in frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is still emerging. A clear consensus on the relationship among CR, brain status, and clinical performance has not been reached. The aims of this systematic review were to: 1) document the FTD disorders represented in this literature and their diagnosis descriptions, 2) classify the sociobehavioral proxies of CR used, 3) identify the tools used to measure disease severity, clinical performance, and brain status, and 4) examine the relationship between CR and brain status in individuals with FTD.
