Background: Although the success rate of novel treatments for CNS diseases is low, this has not limited the enthusiasm of academic and industry neuroscientists to undertake novel drug discovery approaches for the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease-Related Dementias (ADRD) due to the significant unmet need. A first major obstacle in the development of promising treatments for ADRD and other CNS disorders is the need for well-validated targets linked to the disease process. Partial and incomplete knowledge about the biology of the selected molecular target(s) often limit their chance to translate into successful drug discovery projects.

Artificial intelligence (AI) methods enable humans to analyse large amounts of data, which would otherwise not be feasibly quantifiable. This is especially true for unstructured visual and textual data, which can contain invaluable insights into disease. The hepatology research landscape is complex and has generated large amounts of data to be mined.

Objectives: To analyze the correlation among the imaging features of prostate "nodule in nodule," clinical prostate indices, and pathology results.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the prostate images from 47 male patients who underwent MRI scans and pathological biopsy from January 2022 to July 2023. Two radiologists (R1/R2) evaluated the morphology and signal intensity of the "nodule in nodule" in a double-blind manner and calculated the PI-RADS v2.

Background: Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) are the main cause of excessive sugar intake and increased health risks. Food companies usually use social media to market SSBs in order to increase consumers' purchase intentions. To reduce excessive added sugar consumption from hand-shaken tea drinks, Taiwan has implemented a mandatory policy requiring clear sugar content labeling.

Introduction: Epidural steroid injections and epidural blood patches commonly involve the injection of a small amount of radiocontrast media under fluoroscopy to properly identify the target tissue or anatomic space and prevent off-target or intravascular delivery of therapeutic or diagnostic drugs. Iodinated low osmolar non-ionic contrast media is the standard preparation used as it is considered safe and cost-effective, but gadolinium-based preparations have been used as an alternative for patients with an 'iodine'-related or radiocontrast media allergy label to prevent hypersensitivity reactions. The risk of neurotoxic events when gadolinium is inadvertently injected into the intrathecal space has been reported in recent years, raising concerns when gadolinium-based contrast media is used in lieu of iodinated low osmolar non-ionic contrast media.
