Outcomes and Innervation of Gracilis for Pediatric Facial Paralysis: A Systematic Review
This systematic review compares innervation techniques for gracilis free muscle transfer in pediatric facial paralysis. Masseteric innervation produced the greatest commissure excursion, cross‐facial nerve grafting enabled spontaneous smiles, and dual innervation balanced both with high satisfaction and low complication rates across techniques ...

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: Molecular Staging, Risk Factors, Therapeutics, and Emerging Trends
The heterogeneous landscape of DPN can be unified through a tripartite pathogenic model encompassing progressive stages of metabolic dysregulation, chronic inflammation, and overt neuronal damage. Within this framework, six clinical subtypes were identified, namely, hyperglycemia‐driven, dyslipidemia‐driven, inflammation‐driven, dysvascularity‐driven ...

Abstract Background Parkinson's disease is mainly characterized by dopaminergic neurodegeneration in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) and α‐synuclein accumulation. The locus coeruleus (LC) is also affected in Parkinson's disease and linked to some nonmotor symptoms, but the extent and timing of its degeneration remain unclear.

In Vivo Mapping of Catecholaminergic Loss and Iron Deposition in Huntington's Disease
Abstract Background The pathophysiology of Huntington's disease (HD) remains obscure. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can reveal in vivo molecular changes related to disease pathology. Objectives To investigate catecholaminergic neuronal integrity and subcortical brain iron accumulation in HD employing neuromelanin‐sensitive MRI, and quantitative ...

ABSTRACT Purpose To evaluate the correspondence between myelin water fraction (MWF) estimates derived from multi‐echo spin echo (MESE) and multi‐echo gradient echo (MGRE) imaging in fixed mouse brain tissue, using a panel of myelin basic protein (Mbp) enhancer‐edited mouse lines exhibiting graded hypomyelination.

ABSTRACT Purpose The aim of this study is to improve the traditional T1‐weighted (T1w) over T2‐weighted (T2w) ratio as a proxy for myelin by investigating the optimal T2w TE and combination of exponent‐weighted T1w and T2w images (T1wx1/T2wx2$$ \mathrm{T}1{\mathrm{w}}^{x_1}/\mathrm{T}2{\mathrm{w}}^{x_2} $$).
