Purpose: To determine whether effective connectivity of the amygdala is altered in traumatized subjects with and without post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Materials Methods: Resting-state functional MRI data were obtained for 27 patients typhoon-related PTSD, 33 trauma-exposed controls (TEC), 30 healthy (HC). Effective bilateral was examined Granger causality analysis then compared between groups by conducting an variance. Results: Compared to HC group, both PTSD group TEC showed...
In recent years, due to the concern of high rate burnout and attrition teachers in their early career teacher resilience has become a vital theme study professional development. However, little been done China. This contextualized development Chinese universities interviewed seven resilient novice foreign language (FL) explore risk factors confronting them contexts strategies they have employed cope with these challenges. In-depth interview data informants' reflective journals were analyzed...
Abstract Background New evidence suggests that the centromedial amygdala (CMA) and basolateral (BLA) play different roles in threat processing. Our study aimed to investigate effects of trauma post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) on functional connectivity (FC) its subregions. Methods Twenty‐seven patients with typhoon‐related PTSD, 33 trauma‐exposed controls (TEC), 30 healthy (HC) were scanned a 3‐Tesla magnetic resonance imaging scanner. The FCs BLA, CMA, as whole examined using...
Although the past decade has witnessed a growth in research on Asian Americans’ suicide-related outcomes, previous studies have tended not to address within-group ethnic variability among Americans. Therefore, this study examined differences suicide ideation nationally representative sample of Americans that included six largest American groups— Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese Participants were 1,332 adults who participated National Epidemiologic Survey Alcohol...
Functional connectivity studies based on region of interest approach suggest altered functional the default mode network (DMN), executive control (ECN), and salience (SN). The aim this study is to determine whether intranetwork internetwork brain are in both post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) patients traumatized subjects without PTSD using a data-driven approach.Resting-state MRI data were acquired for 27 with typhoon-related PTSD, 33 trauma-exposed controls (TEC), 30 healthy (HC)....
To investigate white matter microstructural abnormalities caused by radiotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients using MRI high-angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI). We included 127 with pathologically confirmed NPC: 36 the pre-radiotherapy group, 29 acute response period (post-RT-AP), 23 early delayed (post-RT-ED) and 39 late-delayed (post-RT-LD) group. HARDI data were acquired for each patient, dispersion parameters calculated to compare differences specific fibre...
Prognosis of primary pontine hemorrhage (PPH) is important for treatment planning and patient management. However, only few clinical factors were reported to have prognostic value PPH. Here, we propose a deep learning (DL) model that mines high-dimensional information from computed tomography (CT) images combines predicting individualized prognosis We proposed multi-task DL learn CT features hematoma perihematomal areas the risk 30-day mortality, 90-day mortality functional outcome PPH...
Background: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is considered neurodevelopmental that shares the feature of dysfunctional frontal-subcortical circuitry, yet relationship between structural abnormalities or neurobiochemistrical changes and OCD pathogenesis still unknown. Objectives: This study aims to use magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) discover substance-metabolism brain circuits in patients with first-episode OCD, mechanism OCD. Patients Methods: Twenty twenty gender- age-matched...
We aimed to develop a prognostic model for primary pontine hemorrhage (PPH) patients and validate the predictive value of good prognosis at 90 days. A total 254 PPH were included screening independent predictors prognosis, data analyzed by univariate multivariable logistic regression tests. The cases then divided into training cohort (n=219) validation (n=35) based on two centers. nomogram was developed using from predict 90-day outcome validated cohort. Glasgow Coma Scale score, normalized...
Motivation: Diffusion-tensor parameters of projection and association neural fibers associated with glymphatic function may be able to predict the development Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Goal(s): To study between diffusion-tensor cognition in patients AD, investigate whether relate cognitive decline. Approach: Linear regression models were performed examine associations cognition. linear mixed-effects used evaluate baseline ALPS index Results: There was a positive Higher levels less...
Background To evaluate brain white matter diffusion characteristics and anatomical network alterations in betel quid dependence (BQD) chewers using high angular resolution imaging (HARDI). Methods The current study recruited 53 BQD 37 healthy controls (HC) two groups. We explored regional metrics alternations the group compared with HC automated fiber quantification (AFQ). further employed (WM) of HARDI to explore connectivity graph theory. Results presented significantly lower FA values...
