AI Article Synopsis
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a common chronic condition characterized by intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors, linked to abnormal brain connectivity in the Default Mode Network (DMN).
- Recent functional MRI (fMRI) studies have been conducted to compare brain activity between OCD patients and healthy individuals, focusing on different brain conditions.
- The current study aims to compare classification results from both resting state functional connectivity (rs-FC) and imagination task-related functional connectivity (im-FC), revealing promising outcomes using the same SVM classification method.
Article Abstract
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a frequent, chronic disorder producing intrusive thoughts which results in repetitive behaviors. It is thought that this psychological disorder occurs due to abnormal functional connectivity in certain regions of the brain called Default Mode Network (DMN) mainly. Recently, functional MRI (FMRI) studies were performed in order to compare the differences in brain activity between patients with OCD and healthy individuals through different conditions of the brain. Our previous study on extraction of disease signature for OCD that is determining the features for discrimination of OCD patients from healthy individuals based on their resting-sate functional connectivity (rs-FC) data had given encouraging results. In the present study, functional data extracted from FMRI images of subjects under imagination task (maintaining an image in mind, im-FC) is considered. The aim of this study is to compare classification results achieved from both resting and task-related (imagination) conditions. This research has shown quite interesting and promising results using the same classification (SVM) method.

Investigating changes in connected speech in nonfluent/agrammatic primary progressive aphasia following script training.

Script training is a speech-language intervention designed to promote fluent connected speech via repeated rehearsal of functional content. This type of treatment has proven beneficial for individuals with aphasia and apraxia of speech caused by stroke and, more recently, for individuals with primary progressive aphasia (PPA). In the largest study to-date evaluating the efficacy of script training in individuals with nonfluent/agrammatic primary progressive aphasia (nfvPPA; Henry et al.

Background: Stress plays a pivotal role in physical health. Although many studies have linked stress reactivity (daily within-person associations between stress exposure and negative affect) to physical health outcomes, we know surprisingly little about how changes in stress reactivity are related to changes in physical health.
Purpose: The current study examines how change in stress reactivity over 18 years is related to changes in functional health and chronic health conditions.
High volume-rate echocardiography for simultaneous imaging of electromechanical activation and cardiac strain of the whole heart in a single heartbeat in humans.

Department of Radiology, Columbia University, New York, NY, United States of America.
Background: Imaging both electrical and mechanical cardiac function can better characterize cardiac disease and improve patient care. Currently, there is no noninvasive technique that can simultaneously image both electrical and mechanical function of the whole heart at the point of care. Here, our aim is to demonstrate that high volume-rate echocardiography can simultaneously map cardiac electromechanical activation and end-systolic cardiac strain of the whole heart in a single heartbeat.

Department of Psychiatry, Affiliated Brain Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, 210029, China.
Background And Hypothesis: Respective abnormal structural connectivity (SC) and functional connectivity (FC) have been reported in individuals with schizophrenia. However, transmodal associations between SC and FC following antipsychotic treatment, especially in female schizophrenia, remain unclear. We hypothesized that increased SC-FC coupling may be found in female schizophrenia, and could be normalized after antipsychotic treatment.

Improving the selectivity and effectiveness of drugs represents a crucial issue for future therapeutic developments in immuno-oncology. Traditional bulk transcriptomics faces limitations in this context for the early phase of target discovery as resulting gene expression levels represent the average measure from multiple cell populations. Alternatively, single cell RNA sequencing can dive into unique cell populations transcriptome, facilitating the identification of specific targets.
