Brain-derived extracellular vesicles (BDEVs) are released from the central nervous system. Brain-related research and diagnostic techniques involving BDEVs have rapidly emerged as a means of diagnosing brain disorders because they are minimally invasive and enable repeatable measurements based on body fluids. However, EVs from various cells and organs are mixed in the blood, acting as potential obstacles for brain diagnostic systems using BDEVs. Therefore, it is important to screen appropriate brain EV markers to isolate BDEVs in blood. Here, we established a strategy for screening potential BDEV biomarkers. To collect various molecular data from the BDEVs, we propose that the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnostic system could be enhanced using machine learning and AI analysis. This BDEV-based diagnostic strategy could be used to diagnose various brain diseases and will help prevent disease through early diagnosis and early treatment.

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a significant predictor of the early progression of Alzheimer's disease, and it can be used as an important indicator of disease progression. However, many existing methods focus mainly on the image itself when processing brain imaging data, ignoring other non-imaging data (e.g.

This study presents the construction of a comprehensive spatiotemporal atlas of white matter tracts in the fetal brain for every gestational week between 23 and 36 wk using diffusion MRI (dMRI). Our research leverages data collected from fetal MRI scans, capturing the dynamic changes in the brain's architecture and microstructure during this critical period. The atlas includes 60 distinct white matter tracts, including commissural, projection, and association fibers.

Background: Bangladesh and West Bengal, India, are 2 densely populated South Asian neighboring regions with many socioeconomic and cultural similarities. In dealing with breast cancer (BC)-related issues, statistics show that people from these regions are having similar problems and fates. According to the Global Cancer Statistics 2020 and 2012 reports, for BC (particularly female BC), the age-standardized incidence rate is approximately 22 to 25 per 100,000 people, and the age-standardized mortality rate is approximately 11 to 13 per 100,000 for these areas.

Background Introduction: Vestibular schwannoma (VS) tumors typically present with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Losartan has recently demonstrated prevention of tumor-associated SNHL in a mouse model of VS through suppression of inflammatory and pro-fibrotic factors, and the current study investigates this association in humans.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of patients with unilateral VS and hypertension followed with sequential audiometry at a tertiary referral hospital from January 1994 to June 2023.

Orbital cellulitis happens when the region behind the orbital septum is affected. It consists an urgency because of its potential risks of complications, such as vision loss, cavernous sinus thrombosis, or Lemierre Syndrome. This article reports a case of a subperiosteal and orbital cellulitis, which had a periapical lesion in the left first molar as it´s focus.
