Background: Brain calcifications, found in various conditions, may be incidental or crucial for diagnosis. They occur in physiological changes, infections, genetic diseases, neurodegenerative conditions, vascular syndromes, metabolic disorders, endocrine disorders, and primary tumors like oligodendroglioma. While often incidental, their presence can be vital for accurate diagnosis.

Using deep learning to shorten the acquisition time of brain MRI in acute ischemic stroke: Synthetic T2W images generated from b0 images.

PLoS One

January 2025

Department of Radiology, The Second Affiliated Hospital, Jiangxi Medical College, Nanchang University, Nanchang, Jiangxi, China.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the feasibility of the deep learning in generating T2 weighted (T2W) images from diffusion-weighted imaging b0 images.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 53 patients who underwent head magnetic resonance imaging between September 1 and September 4, 2023. Each b0 image was matched with a corresponding T2-weighted image.

Article Synopsis
  • Pineal cysts are benign growths in the pineal gland often found accidentally during MRIs, usually causing no symptoms but can lead to neurological issues if they grow.
  • The exact causes of these cysts are unclear, but factors like inflammation from conditions like fibromyalgia and mechanical stress may contribute, along with potential links to long-term lithium use in psychiatric treatment.
  • A case study of a 49-year-old woman with bipolar disorder on lithium highlighted possible connections between cyst formation, systemic inflammation, and psychiatric conditions, indicating the need for more research on these interactions.

Global consensus on optimal exercise recommendations for enhancing healthy longevity in older adults (ICFSR).

J Nutr Health Aging

December 2024

Faculty of Medicine and Health, School of Health Sciences and Sydney Medical School, University of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, and Hinda and Arthur Marcus Institute for Aging Research, Hebrew SeniorLife, Roslindale, MA, United States.

Article Synopsis
  • Aging leads to physiological changes and increased disease vulnerability, culminating in higher mortality rates as individuals get older.
  • Regular physical activity (PA) and exercise can counteract aging effects, improve health span, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer.
  • Personalized exercise plans, including various forms of training like aerobic and resistance exercises, are essential for maintaining health and functionality in older adults, particularly those with age-related issues.
