Accurate diagnosis and management of pediatric patients undergoing magnetic resonance (MR) imaging necessitates familiarity with the normal changes of skeletal maturation and the spectrum of normal variation seen in children. This article reviews key patterns of normal bone and cartilage development. The most common and important variants of bone, cartilage, and soft tissue structures encountered on pediatric MR studies are discussed. Emphasis is placed on those variants that can be mistaken for pathology and those that may predispose to the development of symptoms.

Rationale And Objectives: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common pathogenesis of dementia, and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is considered as the intermediate stage from normal elderly to AD. Early detection of MCI is an essential step for the timely intervention of AD to slow the progression of this disease. Different form previous studies in the whole-brain spontaneous activities, this research aimed to explore the low-frequency amplitude spectrum activities of patients with MCI within the default mode network (DMN), which has been involved in the process of maintaining normal cognitive function.

Background: Fine motor challenges are prevalent in autistic populations. However, little is known about their neurobiological underpinnings or how their related neural mechanisms are influenced by sex. The dorsal striatum, comprised of the caudate nucleus and putamen, is associated with motor learning and control and may hold critical information.

Understanding lipid digestion is crucial for promoting human health. Traditional methods for studying lipolysis face challenges in sample representativeness and pre-treatment, and cannot measure real-time lipolysis in vivo. Thus, non-invasive techniques like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) need to be developed.

To boost supercapacitor (SC) energy density, we introduced redox-active molecules into an aqueous HSO electrolyte. Using retrosynthetic analysis, we identified aminoquinones, specifically triaminochlorobenzoquinone (TACBQ), as promising candidates. Characterization via elemental analysis, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed structure of TACBQ.
