In the field of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), it is common to fit one of many available models to the acquired data. A hybrid diffusion imaging (HYDI) approach even allows to reconstruct different models and measures from a single dataset. Methods for DWI atlas construction (and registration) are as plenty as the number of available models. Therefore, it would be nice if we were able to perform atlas building before model reconstruction. In this work, we present a method for atlas construction of DWI data in q-space: we developed a new multi-subject multi-channel diffeomorphic matching algorithm, which is combined with a recently proposed DWI retransformation method in q-space. We applied our method to HYDI data of 10 healthy subjects. From the resulting atlas, we also reconstructed some advanced models. We hereby demonstrate the feasibility of q-space atlas building, as well as the quality, advantages and possibilities of such an atlas.

Antimicrobial Resistance poses a major threat to human health worldwide. Microorganisms develop multi-drug resistance due to intrinsic factors, evolutionary chromosomal alterations, and horizontal gene transfer. , a common nosocomial bacterium, can cause various infections and is classified as multidrug-resistant.

Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (AD) shows significant sex differences in prevalence and clinical manifestations, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear.
Methods: This study used a large-scale, single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the human prefrontal cortex to investigate sex-dependent molecular changes in AD. Our approach combined cell type-specific and sex-specific differential gene expression analysis, pathway enrichment, gene regulatory network construction, and cell-cell communication analysis to identify sex-dependent changes.

Background: Aneuploidy is crucial yet under-explored in cancer pathogenesis. Specifically, the involvement of brain expressed X-linked gene 4 () in microtubule formation has been identified as a potential aneuploidy mechanism. Nevertheless, 's comprehensive impact on aneuploidy incidence across different cancer types remains unexplored.

This study explores and elucidates the phenomenon of indifference in theorizing within management research in Iran, highlighting the causal conditions and implications of this indifference on both the academic and practical landscapes of management. Using a qualitative grounded theory methodology, this study synthesized the data collected through interviews with management faculty members from various Iranian universities. Purposive sampling was employed to select participants until theoretical saturation was achieved with 29 interviews.

Objective: One of the most malignant types of tumors with a remarkable ability of recurrence rate and aggressiveness is glioblastoma multiforme(GBM). Anyway, according to the restricted remedies accessible for the treatment of this serious tumor, there is no confident and stable therapeutic strategy. Notably, bioinformatics analysis can detect many effective genes in the diagnosis and treatment of GBM.
