The "hot cross bun" sign is a rare radiologic sign seen on magnetic resonance imaging that can help direct the diagnosis of the cerebellar subtype of multiple system atrophy. It indicates damage to the transverse pontocerebellar fibers and can be seen in other pathologies including spinocerebellar ataxia. The name for this radiologic sign was coined in 1998, likening the cruciform hyperintensity on imaging to the English spiced bun marked with a cross and historically eaten on the Christian religious holiday Good Friday.

In recent years, the modulation of brain neural activity by applied electromagnetic fields has become a hot spot in neuroscience research. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) are two common non-invasive neuromodulation techniques. However, conventional tACS has limited stimulation effects in the deeper parts of the brain.

Workplace physical activity, sitting time, and menopause symptoms.

Menopause

January 2025

From the School of Science, Technology and Health, York St John University, York, United Kingdom.

Objective: Increasing numbers of women are in employment during the menopause; however, menopause symptoms can negatively impact capacity to work. Aspects of the work environment, such as the amount of time spent in physical activity (PA) and sitting, may influence symptoms, yet this is unexplored. This study aimed to explore relationships between workplace PA and sitting, and menopause symptom severity.

Benzoxazine and o-phthalonitrile resin are two of the most eminent polymer matrices within high-performance fiber-reinforced resin-based composite materials. Studying the influence modalities of their structures and forming processes on performance can furnish a theoretical basis for the design and manufacturing of superior performance composite materials. In this study, we initially incorporated a fluorene structure into the molecular main chain through molecular design to prepare a fluorene-containing benzoxazine nitrile-based resin.
