ABSTRACT Purpose To validate a method to assess cardiac and respiratory brain pulsations in slowly sampled dynamic MR scans. Cardiac and respiratory pulsations are key drivers of neurofluid circulation. However, resolving their temporal dynamics requires fast imaging, which is not achievable in many dynamic MR acquisitions.

Abstract Aim Aromatase is the key enzyme in the biosynthesis of 17β‐estradiol, the most potent estrogen, which has pleiotropic neuroprotective properties. Aromatase levels increase in the brain after stroke, and its gene variants increase susceptibility to stroke. This study aims to determine whether aromatase overexpression improves stroke outcome and

Neuroprotective effects of ursodeoxycholic acid in Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease
In Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), various shared pathological mechanisms exist. UDCA has been shown to exert neuroprotective effects in preclinical and clinical studies. Such effects include the mitigation of neuroinflammation as well as rescue effects on mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, impaired autophagy, and ...

ABSTRACT Prenatal exome sequencing (ES) can establish rare genetic diagnoses in a fetus but may also lead to occult genetic diagnosis in a biological parent. We present a case of dual fetal and maternal diagnosis by prenatal ES, in a fetus with unexplained anemia and in a pregnant patient with sickle cell disease (SCD) and recurrent unexplained hypoxia.

Diagnosis and Management of Prenatal Hereditary Pyropoikilocytosis
ABSTRACT Hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (HPP) is a severe hemolytic anemia caused by variants in SPTA1, SPTB, and EPB41. These weaken horizontal interactions in the erythrocyte cytoskeleton, causing membrane fragmentation and splenic sequestration. It will readily cause fetal anemia and often hydrops fetalis. Prenatal diagnosis requires first ruling out

ABSTRACT Objective Fetal airway anomalies can severely impair breathing at birth, potentially causing brain injury or death. Thus, early prenatal diagnosis is essential. While MRI is the most effective imaging modality for evaluating fetal airways, normative MRI data remain scarce.

Placental Dysfunction and Congenital Heart Disease: Investigating the Placenta‐Heart Axis
ABSTRACT Objective Concurrent development of the placenta and heart during early gestation suggests a shared biological basis for the co‐occurrence of abnormal placentation and congenital heart disease (CHD). This study investigated the association between placental vascular pathology and CHD type.

The Neuroprotective Effect of a Waste Byproduct Obtained From Pomegranate (Punica granatum)
The Effect of a Waste Byproduct Obtained From Pomegranate on Neurodegeneration. ABSTRACT Pomegranate is an exceptional fruit that can have several beneficial effects on human health. The peel of pomegranate, a waste product, should be recovered as it still contains valuable constituents, including phenolic compounds, minerals and fibre. The recovery of
