Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) can manifest as brain lesions visible on magnetic resonance imaging, including white matter hyperintensities (WMH), cerebral microbleeds (CMB), perivascular spaces (PVS), lacunes, and recent small subcortical infarcts (RSSI). Detection and segmentation of thes ...

Air pollution is closely associated with increased lung cancer incidence and mortality. Because many semi-volatile industrial chemicals, pesticides and combustion by-products are endocrine-disrupting or genotoxic, their mixtures in outdoor urban air, even at trace levels, could have cumulative ef ...

Purpose: Neuropathic pain (NP) in individuals with cancer can arise from the cancer itself or its treatments. The prevalence of NP has been estimated in children living with cancer; however, the prevalence in adolescent survivorship is unknown. The aims of this study were to estimate the prevalence of NP among adolescent survivors of childhood cancer and ...

This paper proposes a distributed fault-tolerant cooperative control framework for multiple fixed-wing UAVs (FUAVs), grounded on a complete six-degrees-of-freedom (6-DOF) nonlinear dynamic model. The architecture integrates position and attitude control, explicitly accounting for actuator faults and multiple input constraints. In the outer loop, an adapti ...

BackgroundOlfactory identification decline is a known early marker of Alzheimer's disease and is already present at the mild cognitive impairment (MCI) stage. While being linked with episodic memory, its predictive value for cognitive performance and distinguishing between clinical stages remains unclear.ObjectiveThis study examined (1) the predictive ...

Chromodomain Helicase DNA-binding (CHD) proteins compose a family of chromatin remodelers that play crucial roles in DNA repair and gene expression regulation, neural stem cell differentiation and chromatin integrity. Genetic variants in CHD chromatin remodelers are associated with neurodevelopmental disorders with features like autism spectrum disorder a ...
