Seventy-six staining tests were carried out of paraffin sections of human and animal muscle to find a suitable staining method for quantitative morphometry of muscle fibers. The results were evaluated under the light microscope, on black and white photomicrographs and on an image analysing computer, the Quantimet 720.A brilliant scarlet-phosphotungstic acid-tartrazine method is described and recommended for automated morphometry after additional testing on 140 sections of developing human muscle using the Quantiment 720.

Introduction: Lesion load (LL), deep gray matter (DGM) and normal-appearing white matter (NAWM) susceptibility and morphometry may help in monitoring brain changes in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. We aimed at evaluating the feasibility of a fully automated segmentation and the potential interrelation between these biomarkers and clinical disability.
Methods: Sixty-six patients with brain MRIs and clinical evaluations (Expanded Disability Status Scale [EDSS]) were retrospectively included.

Article Synopsis
- Portable low-field magnetic resonance imaging (LF-MRI) offers a promising way to assess Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients in places where traditional MRI isn't available, despite some limitations in image quality.
- * Researchers optimized LF-MRI techniques and created a free machine learning tool for analyzing brain structure and white matter changes in patients with cognitive impairments.
- * The study found that LF-MRI accurately measures hippocampal volumes and white matter hyperintensities, suggesting that this technology can improve access to neuroimaging for dementia patients at a lower cost.
Variation in nuclear size and shape is an important criterion of malignancy for many tumor types; however, categorical estimates by pathologists have poor reproducibility. Measurements of nuclear characteristics can improve reproducibility, but current manual methods are time-consuming. The aim of this study was to explore the limitations of estimates and develop alternative morphometric solutions for canine cutaneous mast cell tumors (ccMCTs).

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) affects brain structure and clinical outcomes in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE).
- Nineteen patients participated, receiving rTMS for 5 days, and changes in gray matter volume were analyzed two months later.
- Results showed reduced seizure frequency and improved quality of life, linked to increased volume in the cerebellar vermis, suggesting rTMS alters specific brain circuits related to seizure control.
