A feasibility study is under way for a multiplexed tracking/imaging/propulsion sequence to control a ferromagnetic microdevice in the human vasculature. Ferromagnetic artifact motion can be problematic for the acquired images but we show that when the phase encoding direction is made to match the main direction of motion of the device, the acquisition of planes distant of 3.4 cm of the ferromagnetic bead used show acceptable distortions and signal loss even when the bead incurs significant motion during acquisition. At approximately 6.4 cm, no distortion or signal loss is observed. These results suggest that slow breathing motion can be measured and/or gated using the undistorted parts of the images.

Parkinson Disease (PD) is a complex neurological disorder attributed by loss of neurons generating dopamine in the SN per compacta. Electroencephalogram (EEG) plays an important role in diagnosing PD as it offers a non-invasive continuous assessment of the disease progression and reflects these complex patterns. This study focuses on the non-linear analysis of resting state EEG signals in PD, with a gender-specific, brain region-specific, and EEG band-specific approach, utilizing recurrence plots (RPs) and machine learning (ML) algorithms for classification.

This research seeks to address the gap in past studies by examining the role of the Nrf2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2) and HO-1 (heme oxygenase-1) signaling pathways in hypoxia and the potential effects of alpha-pinene on these factors. Wistar rats were divided into 7 experimental groups (n = 7): 1) control, 2 and 3) groups receiving alpha-pinene 5 and 10 mg/kg (i.p.

Objectives: The rise in gray divorce has catalyzed repartnering in later life. However, the antecedents of older adult repartnering remain poorly understood, particularly the potential role of adult children. A form of ambiguous loss, marital disruption often leads to family boundary ambiguity, thereby weakening family ties.

TBC1D20 deficiency causes Warburg Micro Syndrome in humans, characterized by multiple eye abnormalities, severe intellectual disability, and abnormal sexual development, but the molecular mechanisms remain unknown. Here, we identify TBC1D20 as a novel Rab11 GTPase-activating protein that coordinates vesicle transport and actin remodeling to regulate ciliogenesis. Depletion of TBC1D20 promotes Rab11 vesicle accumulation and actin deconstruction around the centrosome, facilitating the initiation of ciliogenesis even in cycling cells.
