MRI differentiation of CNS fungal infections: correlating imaging features with microbiological and histopathological findings.
Neuroradiology
November 2024
Department of Radiology, Aga Khan University Hospital, Aga Khan University, Karachi Stadium Road, P.O. Box 3500, Karachi, 74800, Pakistan.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how magnetic resonance imaging (MR) can help identify the specific types of fungi responsible for central nervous system (CNS) infections, comparing MR findings with microbiology and histopathology results.
- A retrospective analysis of 50 patients revealed that Aspergillus spp. was the most common cause of infection, with specific MR features like pseudo-tumoral mass behavior linked to Aspergillus and meningitis associated with yeast infections.
- The research suggests that certain MR imaging characteristics, especially dot-like foci, may indicate abscesses from dematiaceous molds, although the overall radiological features are generally non-specific.
Promoting Physical Activity Among Health Professional Students, Faculty, and Staff Members: A Competition-Based Intervention.
Am J Lifestyle Med
September 2024
Health Outcomes Research and Policy, Harrison College of Pharmacy, Auburn University, Auburn, AL, USA (CZ, BIF).
This program review presents data for the Deans' Fit Family Challenge (DFFC) and proposes future directions for improvement, informed by the Social Cognitive Theory. The DFFC is a multi-week physical activity competition held annually between three health professional programs, focusing on the development of self-efficacy, self-regulation, and social support of health-related fitness. Participants competed in teams of two and tracked their activity minutes weekly using the ChallengeRunner app or through manual entry.

Sugar Beet Seed Institute (SBSI), Agricultural Research, Education and Extension Organization (AREEO), Karaj, Iran.
Rhizomania is the most destructive sugar beet disease in the world, and in recent years, it has widespread in most of the sugar beet growing areas in Iran. Since the control of this soil-borne disease is a difficult task, the use of resistant genotypes is known as the best measure against the disease. The ultimate goal of sugar beet breeders is to produce genotypes that can be used in both infected and non-infected fields without any reduction in terms of yield and quality.

Sports (Basel)
October 2024
School of Medical and Health Sciences, Edith Cowan University, Joondalup, WA 6027, Australia.
This study investigates the rapid weight loss (RWL) and rapid weight gain (RWG) of contest winners and losers from Muay Thai (MT) and mixed martial arts (MMA) events. The relationship between rapid weight change variables of males and females, and competitive success is also examined. Data from a weight management questionnaire was collected one day post-competition from 185 participants across 24 fight events, resulting in 263 responses (MMA: n = 78, MT: n = 185).

Data Brief
October 2024
Temple University, Philadelphia, PA 19122, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Social relationships evolve throughout life, impacting how older adults perceive and respond to social and non-social rewards, which may influence their decision-making processes, including vulnerability to financial exploitation.
- A 5-year study funded by the National Institute on Aging aims to explore neural responses to social rewards in adults aged 21-80 and examine the relationship between these responses and financial exploitation risks.
- The preliminary data from 114 participants will be analyzed through multi-echo fMRI and various tasks to assess brain function related to social rewards and decision-making, with an emphasis on potential long-term impacts on the health and well-being of older adults.
