White Matter Dysfunction and Neurotransmitter Basis Underlying the Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
In the freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease, white matter shows decreased local activity but increased functional connectivity. These distinct dysfunctions are uniquely associated with specific neurotransmitter systems (GABA, dopamine, etc.), mapping a new neurochemical basis for this debilitating symptom. ABSTRACT Freezing of gait (FOG) is a severe

T2‐Weighted T1 Mapping and Automated Segmentation of CSF: Assessment of Solute Gradients in the Healthy Brain

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) serves as a medium for nutrient delivery and waste clearance. The T1 relaxation rate, R1, can be used to measure the concentration of intrinsic solutes and extrinsic contrast agents. Purpose To implement a method for R1 mapping and segmentation of CSF and to use this method to explore how R1 of CSF relates ...

Non‐Subtractive Arterial Spin Labeling‐Based (NSASL) Renal Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA): Development and Clinical Feasibility Evaluation

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Non‐contrast renal MR angiography (MRA) is valuable for patients who cannot receive contrast agents or when avoiding radiation is desired. However, the conventional inflow inversion recovery (IFIR) method is limited by incomplete background suppression, venous contamination, and motion sensitivity.

Comparative Evaluation of Four Stereotactic Radiosurgery Planning Approaches for Treatment of Posterior Choroidal Melanoma

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study evaluated four stereotactic radiosurgery planning approaches for posterior choroidal melanoma (CM). Analysis of thirteen CM cases resulted in a clinically meaningful reduction in dose to the brain for Brainlab Elements modulated arcs (BE) and Varian Eclipse HyperArc modulated arcs (HA) compared to Brainlab iPlan dynamic conformal arc therapy

Engineering Topological Phases with a Traveling‐Wave Spacetime Modulation

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Time‐varying systems have garnered considerable attention due to their unique potential in manipulating electromagnetic waves. Here, a novel class of topological spacetime crystals with a traveling‐wave modulation is introduced. By manipulating material anisotropy, one can engineer light angular momentum and non‐trivial topological phases characterized

Fast Simulation of Wide‐Angle Coherent Diffractive Imaging

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
The propagation multi‐slice Fourier transform method is introduced as an accurate and efficient approach for describing light scattering for arbitrarily shaped objects. Its exceptional suitability for simulating coherent diffractive imaging of nanoparticles in the XUV and soft X‐ray range is demonstrated.

Observation of Linear and Nonlinear Light Trapping on Topological Dislocations

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Topological dislocations are global lattice defects found in various systems ranging from crystals to photonic lattices. This work reports the first observation at optical frequencies of linear modes with tunable localization bound to edge dislocations and their nonlinear counterparts ‐ dislocation solitons. These results reveal an intriguing interplay
