Diffusion Basis Spectrum Imaging of Tissue Microstructure and Early Treatment in Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Conventional MRI cannot resolve the coexisting pathological processes within multiple sclerosis tissue. Diffusion Basis Spectrum Imaging decomposes the diffusion signal into fiber, cell, and hindered ratios indexing axonal integrity, cellularity, and extracellular space, respectively.

Axial Function Reflects Global Severity in Inherited Ataxias: The Upright Stability Score in Ambulatory Friedreich vs. Spinocerebellar Ataxia

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Inherited ataxias are clinically diverse neurodegenerative diseases, complicating the choice of outcome measures for trials. In spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), regulatory concerns about the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) caused a shift toward functional SARA (f‐SARA), contributing to pivotal trial failure.

Shifts in fungal communities drive soil profile nutrient cycling during grassland restoration

mBio
Soil microbial diversity and community life strategies are crucial for nutrient cycling during vegetation restoration. Although the changes in topsoil microbial communities during restoration have been extensively studied, the structure, life strategies,

Disentangling the Genetic Relationship Between Sleep and Epilepsy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective A bidirectional relationship between sleep and epilepsy is well recognised, yet the biological mechanisms linking them remain poorly understood. Both have a genetic basis, with genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) capturing polygenic contributions.

Artificial Intelligence in Systemic Sclerosis: Clinical Applications, Challenges, and Future Directions

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease defined by immune dysregulation, vasculopathy, and progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Despite advances in care, major complications such as interstitial lung disease (ILD) and myocardial involvement remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality.

Microbial and enzymatic C:N:P stoichiometry are affected by soil C:N in the forest ecosystems in southwestern China

Geoderma
Microbial and enzymatic stoichiometry have been widely used to reflect microbial nutrient limitations. However, the dominant drivers of microbial and enzymatic C:N:P ratios are not well known, which hinders our understanding of whether microbial and ...

A 30 m resolution dataset of soil and water conservation terraces across China for 2000, 2010, and 2020 [PDF]

Earth System Science Data
Terraces, as one of the most widely distributed and heavily invested soil and water conservation (SWC) measures in China, currently lack a comprehensive database containing spatiotemporal distribution and diverse classification types.

A Return to Normality: A Descriptive Qualitative Interview Study Exploring the Patient Experience of Gout Flare Resolution

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Although the definition of a gout flare is well established, the state of gout flare resolution has not yet been defined. This study aimed to explore patients’ experiences and perceptions of gout flare resolution. Methods Semistructured interviews were conducted with 24 people with gout, guided by open‐ended questions exploring their ...
