Alteration in the Cross-sectional Area (CSA) Ratio of the Paraspinal Muscles following Vertebral Insufficiency Fractures

Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging, 2023
Background Vertebral insufficiency fractures in the elderly are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis is essential to direct patient-specific rehabilitation.

Vulvovaginal Atrophy [PDF]

Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 2010
Vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA) is a common and underreported condition associated with decreased estrogenization of the vaginal tissue. Symptoms include dryness, irritation, soreness, and dyspareunia with urinary frequency, urgency, and urge incontinence. It can occur at any time in a woman's life cycle, although more commonly in the postmenopausal phase ...

Features of cytokine balance in patients with precancerous gastric lesions depending on the changes in the structure of the thyroid gland

Gastroenterologìa, 2020
Background. The study of the cytokine balance is important due to searching the general links of the pathogenesis of comorbidity in precancerous gastric lesions and thyroid diseases.

Long-Term Oral Administration of LLHK, LHK, and HK Alters Gene Expression Profile and Restores Age-Dependent Atrophy and Dysfunction of Rat Salivary Glands

Biomedicines, 2020
Xerostomia, also known as dry mouth, is caused by a reduction in salivary secretion and by changes in the composition of saliva associated with the malfunction of salivary glands. Xerostomia decreases quality of life.

Distinguishing Healthy Ageing from Dementia: a Biomechanical Simulation of Brain Atrophy using Deep Networks [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Biomechanical modeling of tissue deformation can be used to simulate different scenarios of longitudinal brain evolution. In this work,we present a deep learning framework for hyper-elastic strain modelling of brain atrophy, during healthy ageing and in Alzheimer's Disease.

Cognitive Function and Brain Atrophy Predict Non-pharmacological Efficacy in Dementia: The Mihama-Kiho Scan Project2

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2018
We aimed to determine whether neuropsychological deficits and brain atrophy could predict the efficacy of non-pharmacological interventions. Forty-six participants with mild-to-moderate dementia were monitored for 6 months; 25 underwent an intervention ...

Serum cortisol is negatively related to hippocampal volume, brain structure, and memory performance in healthy aging and Alzheimer’s disease

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2023
ObjectiveElevated cortisol levels have been frequently reported in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and linked to brain atrophy, especially of the hippocampus.

Identifying brain hierarchical structures associated with Alzheimer's disease using a regularized regression method with tree predictors [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Brain segmentation at different levels is generally represented as hierarchical trees. Brain regional atrophy at specific levels was found to be marginally associated with Alzheimer's disease outcomes. In this study, we propose an L1-type regularization for predictors that follow a hierarchical tree structure.
