The findings obtained by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in 8 cases of surgically and histologically confirmed intracerebral cavernomas are reported. Six of the malformations were located temporally, one was located on the floor of the fourth ventricle, and one in the parietal lobe. All of the 8 cavernomas could be clearly demarcated, both in the T2 weighted image and in the spin density image. They are demonstrated as inhomogeneous zones with high or no signals. The tumors had irregular contours, which were clearly set off from the surrounding parenchyma. In 2 cases, the hemorrhage later detected surgically could already be assumed from the MR image. In 3 cases, zones with weak signals were found in the tumor, which were considered to be calcifications. One case of a vein with laminar flow could be established.

Cerebral Microbleeds and Amyloid Pathology Estimates From the Amyloid Biomarker Study.

JAMA Netw Open

January 2025

Alzheimer Center Limburg, Department of Psychiatry and Neuropsychology, School for Mental Health and Neuroscience, Maastricht University, Maastricht, the Netherlands.

Importance: Baseline cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) and APOE ε4 allele copy number are important risk factors for amyloid-related imaging abnormalities in patients with Alzheimer disease (AD) receiving therapies to lower amyloid-β plaque levels.

Objective: To provide prevalence estimates of any, no more than 4, or fewer than 2 CMBs in association with amyloid status, APOE ε4 copy number, and age.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This cross-sectional study used data included in the Amyloid Biomarker Study data pooling initiative (January 1, 2012, to the present [data collection is ongoing]).

Background: Trigeminal neuralgia is a disease characterized by severe facial pain that significantly reduces patients quality of life. Trigeminal neuralgia is subcategorized as idiopathic, classic or secondary. Magnetic resonance imaging is the basis for classification, but neurophysiological tests are also used.

Intrinsically disordered proteins and protein regions are central to many biological processes but difficult to characterize at atomic resolution. Nuclear magnetic resonance is particularly well-suited for providing structural and dynamical information on intrinsically disordered proteins, but existing NMR methodologies need to be constantly refined to provide greater sensitivity and resolution, particularly to capitalise on the potential of high magnetic fields to investigate large proteins. In this paper, we describe how N-detected 2D NMR experiments can be optimised for better performance.

Classifying the molecular subtype of breast cancer using vision transformer and convolutional neural network features.

Breast Cancer Res Treat

January 2025

Department of Radiological Technology, Faculty of Medical Technology, Niigata University of Health and Welfare, 1398 Shimamichou, Kita-Ku, Niigata, Japan.

Purpose: Identification of the molecular subtypes in breast cancer allows to optimize treatment strategies, but usually requires invasive needle biopsy. Recently, non-invasive imaging has emerged as promising means to classify them. Magnetic resonance imaging is often used for this purpose because it is three-dimensional and highly informative.

Brain tumours are one of the most deadly and noticeable types of cancer, affecting both children and adults. One of the major drawbacks in brain tumour identification is the late diagnosis and high cost of brain tumour-detecting devices. Most existing approaches use ML algorithms to address problems, but they have drawbacks such as low accuracy, high loss, and high computing cost.
