Objective: To analyze the typical and non-typical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of neonatal hypoglycemia encephalopathy (NHE).

Methods: The clinical data and MRI findings of 20 cases with NHE were retrospectively evaluated.

Results: Among them, blood glucose values were ≤ 1.4 mmol/L (n = 18) and 2.1 mmol/L (n = 2). And 13 cases had recurrent hypoglycemia. The major clinical symptoms included convulsion, poor response, cyanosis and apnea. The typical MRI findings of abnormal signal in occipital or parietal cortex were found in 9 cases. And the involvement sites were corpus callosum (n = 4) and posterior limb of internal capsule (n = 1). Another 11 cases revealed non-typical MRI findings of damaged brain regions, involving splenium of corpus callosum (n = 8), white matte along lateral ventricle (n = 6), extensive cortical or subcortical white matter (n = 5), internal capsule (n = 3), centrum semiovale (n = 2), globus pallidus (n = 1), local cortex (frontal lobe) (n = 1), pons (n = 1), unilateral hippocampus (n = 1) and bilateral thalamus and midbrain, brain stem and medulla oblongata (n = 1).

Conclusion: The typical MRI findings of NHE show abnormal signal in occipital or parietal cortex. And non-typical manifestations involving multiple brain areas may be observed in cases of severe NHE.

Optical techniques, such as functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), contain high potential for the development of non-invasive wearable systems for evaluating cerebral vascular condition in aging, due to their portability and ability to monitor real-time changes in cerebral hemodynamics. In this study, thirty-six healthy adults were measured by single channel fNIRS to explore differences between two age groups using machine learning (ML). The subjects, measured during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at Oulu University Hospital, were divided into young (age ≤ 32) and elderly (age ≥ 57) groups.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) combined with periorbital triamcinolone acetonide injection in treating thyroid eye disease (TED) patients with active extraocular muscle but low CAS. The retrospective observational study was conducted. A total of 156 eligible patients were selected from the TED patient database of the Ophthalmology Department of West China Hospital of Sichuan University.

A multicenter study of neurofibromatosis type 1 utilizing deep learning for whole body tumor identification.

Deep-learning models have shown promise in differentiating between benign and malignant lesions. Previous studies have primarily focused on specific anatomical regions, overlooking tumors occurring throughout the body with highly heterogeneous whole-body backgrounds. Using neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) as an example, this study developed highly accurate MRI-based deep-learning models for the early automated screening of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) against complex whole-body background.

We aimed to build a robust classifier for the MGMT methylation status of glioblastoma in multiparametric MRI. We focused on multi-habitat deep image descriptors as our basic focus. A subset of the BRATS 2021 MGMT methylation dataset containing both MGMT class labels and segmentation masks was used.

Few studies have explored hip morphology and cartilage composition in female athletes or the impact of asymmetric repetitive loading, such as occurs during softball pitching. The current cross-sectional study assessed bilateral bony hip morphology on computed tomography imaging in collegiate-level softball pitchers ('Pitch1', n = 25) and cross-country runners ('Run', n = 13). Magnetic resonance imaging was used to assess cartilage relaxation times in a second cohort of pitchers ('Pitch2', n = 10) and non-athletic controls ('Con', n = 4).
