This short report clarifies the heterogeneity of structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in seven demented patients due to pathologically accumulated TAR DNA-binding protein-43 (TDP-43) protein using visual analyses including visual rating scales (i.e., global cortical atrophy and medial temporal atrophy scales). In addition to the well-known frontotemporal lobar atrophy, structural MRI has revealed multifaceted imaging findings including asymmetric atrophy of the frontoparietal lobe and cerebral peduncle, midbrain atrophy, and localized or diffuse white matter T2 hyperintensity. Understanding of these multifaceted neuroimaging findings is important for the precise antemortem diagnosis of TDP-43 proteinopathy.

Objective: Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF), a complex congenital heart disease, exhibits substantial clinical heterogeneity. Accurate prediction of disease progression and tailored patient management remain elusive. We aimed to categorize rTOF patients into distinct phenotypes based on clinical variables and variables obtained from cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging.

Here we leveraged routinely collected T1-weighted (T1-w) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data to derive patient-specific measures of brain structure and evaluate their usefulness in predicting changes in PD medications in response to DBS. Preoperative T1-w MRI data from 231 patients with PD were used to extract regional measures of fractal dimension (FD), sensitive to the structural complexities of cortical and subcortical areas.

Among 2-dimensional (2D) non-layered transition-metal chalcogenides (TMCs), cobalt sulfides are highly interesting because of their diverse structural phases and unique properties. The unique magnetic properties of TMCs have generated significant interest in their potential applications in future spintronic devices. In addition, their high conductivity, large specific surface area, and abundant active sites have attracted attention in the field of catalysis.

Although glycosidic bonds in purines typically involve the N9 position, the chemical synthesis of adenosine produces N7-ribofuranosyladenine (7A) as a kinetically favorable ribosylation product. Similarly, in the synthesis of LNA-adenosine (AL), a minor product, N7-LNA-adenosine (7AL), is observed. While extensive research has focused on investigating the properties of N9-regioisomers of adenosine, 7A has been largely overlooked and considered as a side-product.

Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the presence of two proteinopathies, amyloid and tau, which have a cascading effect on the functional and structural organization of the brain.
Methods: In this study, we used a supervised machine learning technique to build a model of functional connections that predicts cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) p-tau/Aβ (the PATH-fc model). Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data from 289 older adults in the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) were utilized for this model.
