Purpose Studies of the neural underpinnings bipolar type I disorder have focused on emotional control network. However, there is also growing evidence for cerebellar involvement, including abnormal structure, function, and metabolism. Here, we sought to assess functional connectivity vermis with cerebrum in whether might depend mood. Methods This cross-sectional study enrolled 128 participants 83 comparison who completed a 3 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study, which included anatomical...
The float-polishing technique has been studied to determine its suitability for producing supersmooth surfaces on optical materials, yielding a roughness of <2 Å rms. An attempt was made polish six different materials including fused quartz, Zerodur, and sapphire. low surface achieved Corning experimental glass-ceramic <1 rms obtained O-cut single-crystal Presumably, similar finishes can also be Cer-Vit ULE which could not polished satisfactorily in this set experiments because mismatch...
The negative symptoms of schizophrenia include deficits in emotional expression and motivation. These are stable over the course illness respond poorly to current medications. Previous studies have focused on as a single category; however, individual might be related separate neurological disturbances. We analyzed data from Functional Biomedical Informatics Research Network dataset explore relationship between functional brain activity during an auditory oddball task.Functional magnetic...
Huntington's disease (HD) is a genetic neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects striatal neurons. Striatal volume loss present years before clinical diagnosis; however, white matter degradation may also occur prior to diagnosis. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) can measure microstructural changes associated with degeneration precede macrostructural changes. DWI derived measures enhance understanding of in prodromal HD (pre-HD).As part the PREDICT-HD study, N = 191 pre-HD individuals...
Objectives Quantitative mapping of T1 relaxation in the rotating frame (T1ρ) is a magnetic resonance imaging technique sensitive to pH and other cellular microstructural factors, potentially valuable tool for identifying brain alterations bipolar disorder. Recently, this identified differences cerebellum cerebral white matter euthymic patients vs healthy controls that were consistent with reduced these regions, suggesting an underlying metabolic abnormality. The current study built upon...
Studies of the neural underpinnings bipolar type I disorder have focused on emotional control network. However, there is also growing evidence for cerebellar involvement, including abnormal structure, function, and metabolism. Here, we sought to assess functional connectivity cerebellum with cerebrum in whether any effects might depend mood.This cross-sectional study enrolled 128 participants 83 comparison who completed a 3T MRI scan, which included anatomical imaging as well resting state...

While uniprofessional education programs develop strong student identities, they may limit the development of behaviors needed for interprofessional socialization. Interprofessional (IPE) creates an essential platform engagement in socialization and cultural humility, thus enabling improvement collaborative communication. In this quasi-experimental observational study, health professional students attended one three Grand Rounds Workshops (GRIW) completed online pre- post-workshop surveys...
The bender-bimorph beam steerer is a piezoelectrically driven optical device capable of pointing light several centimeters diameter anywhere in degree wide field view with control bandwidth hundred hertz. Its operation depends on the mechanical motion piezoelectric to tilt mirror, which turn deflects beam. Fundamental relationships governing such constrain product mirror diameter, scan amplitude, and so that optimization system matter trade-off considerations. A theoretical analysis...
Abstract Introduction Functional neuroimaging typically relies on the blood‐oxygen‐level–dependent ( BOLD ) contrast, which is sensitive to influx of oxygenated blood following neuronal activity. A new method, functional T1 relaxation in rotating frame fT 1ρ) thought reflect changes local brain metabolism, likely pH , and may more directly measure These two methods were applied study activation visual cortex participants with bipolar disorder as compared controls. Methods Thirty‐nine 32...
BACKGROUND Prescription opioids play a large role in the opioid epidemic. Even short-term prescriptions provided postoperatively can lead to dependence. OBJECTIVE To provide prescription recommendations after Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) and reconstruction. METHODS This was multi-institutional Delphi consensus study consisting of panel members American College Surgery from various practice settings. Participants were first asked describe scenarios which they prescribe at frequencies....
This paper examines the shape collapse problem that occurs when registering a pair of images or population brain to reference (target) image coordinate system using diffeomorphic registration. Shape foreground background structure in an with non-zero volume is transformed into set zero near as measured on discrete voxel lattice target system. may occur during registration moving has either missing does not sufficiently overlap corresponding image[4]. Such common algorithms large degrees...

This study used resting state functional connectivity to of the cerebellar vermis with cerebrum in bipolar disorder.
Bipolar disorder is a serious psychiatric condition whose cause remains unknown. Previous diffusion MRI studies suggest white matter alterations may be involved, but standard tensor scalars provide limited information regarding potential pathophysiology. Here we used Neurite Orientation Dispersion and Density Imaging (NODDI) to examine select bundles additional changes in microstructure. We found that the uncinate fasciculus, cingulum hippocampus, corpus callosum genu showed evidence of...
