Marcus Gunn jaw-winking syndrome (MGJWS) is a rare form of congenital blepharoptosis and one of the congenital cranial dysinnervation disorders (CCDD). In addition, morning glory disc anomaly (MGDA) is a congenital optic disc anomaly of unknown etiology. The present report is the first to describe an association between MGJWS and MGDA in an otherwise healthy 7-year-old boy. He also had counting finger vision, anisometropia, esotropia, and monocular elevation deficiency in the same eye. In the literature, both MGJWS and MGDA have been reported to be associated with Duane retraction syndrome, a form of CCDD.

Mutations in the ANXA11 gene, encoding an RNA-binding protein, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but the underlying in vivo mechanisms remain unclear. This study examines the clinical features of ALS patients harboring the ANXA11 hotspot mutation p.P36R, characterized by late-onset motor neuron disease and occasional multi-system involvement.

Magnetic resonance (MR) images are commonly used to diagnose prolapsed lumbar intervertebral disc (PLID). However, for a computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) system, distinguishing between pathological abnormalities of PLID in MR images is a challenging and intricate task. Here, we propose a comprehensive model for the automatic detection and cropping of regions of interest (ROI) from sagittal MR images using the YOLOv8 framework to solve this challenge.

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a deleterious condition driven by localized inflammation and the associated disruption of the normal homeostatic balance between anabolism and catabolism, contributing to progressive functional abnormalities within the nucleus pulposus (NP). Despite our prior evidence demonstrating that a miR-21 inhibitor can have regenerative effects that counteract the progression of IDD, its application for IDD treatment remains limited by the inadequacy of current local delivery systems. Here, an injectable tannic acid (TA)-loaded hydrogel gene delivery system was developed and used for the encapsulation of a multifunctional mitochondria-protecting gene nanocarrier (PHs).

The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical application and primary outcome of transcatheter embolization using Amplatzer™ Vascular Plug (AVP) Type 2 and Type 4 in different congenital cardiovascular malformations. This is a single-center retrospective observational cohort study. We analyzed clinical and imaging data of 36 patients retrospectively who received transcatheter embolizations of the following malformations using AVP: systemic-to-pulmonary collateral arteries (SPCA), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), ventricular septal defects (VSD), and aberrant pulmonary sequestration arteries (PSA).
