Neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), are a growing public health challenge, with incidence projected to triple in the coming decades. AD is associated memory impairment, bvFTD behavioral dysfunction, MCI as transitional stage between normal cognition dementia. While structural brain changes have been widely studied, role of neurotransmitter pathways remains underexplored. This study aims correlate...
This paper presents the winning solution of task 1 and third-placed 3 BraTS challenge. The use automated tools in clinical practice has increased due to development more sophisticated reliable algorithms. However, achieving standards developing for real-life scenarios is a major To this end, organised tasks find most advanced solutions specific purposes. In paper, we propose synthetic data train state-of-the-art frameworks order improve segmentation adult gliomas post-treatment scenario,...
Abstract INTRODUCTION Alzheimer's disease (AD) co‐pathology with Lewy bodies (LB) is frequent and influences clinical manifestations outcomes. Its significance in primary age‐related tauopathy (PART) unknown. We investigated the influence of LB on cognition brain atrophy AD PART. METHODS performed a retrospective cohort study large sample autopsied participants neuropathological change (ADNC) without PART LB, corresponding ante mortem magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data from National...
Peptic ulcers are not the most common complication in gastrointestinal mucosa, but these defects stand out as being with highest mortality rate. Several scoring systems based on clinical and biochemical parameters, such Boey PULP system have been developed to predict probability of mortality. In this study, a data mining process is performed medical available, order evaluate how perform when trying patients' state complication. Furthermore, presented paper studies two define which one...
Abstract Background Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a heterogeneous proteinopathy. Co‐pathology with Lewy bodies (LB) frequent and known to contribute differential pattern of executive cognitive impairment compared typical AD. While primary age‐related tauopathy (PART) presents neurofibrillary tangles, mainly restricted the temporal lobe in absence amyloid‐beta plaques, LB co‐pathology also present. However, it still unknown how combination these proteinopathies affects patterns brain atrophy,...
