Diagnostic impact of whole exome sequencing in neurometabolic disorders in Syrian children: a single center experience
Neurometabolic disorders in children present a complex diagnostic challenge, especially in regions affected by limited resources and high rates of consanguinity. Our research offers the first in-depth look into the use of whole exome sequencing -shedding light on the diagnostic power of genomics.
Unlocking Early Alzheimer's Diagnosis: A New Method Based on Advanced Imaging and Visual Feature Recognition
Detecting Alzheimer's early is vital. Our new method uses brain scans (DTI) and visual feature recognition (SURF/SIFT) to spot subtle changes linked to AD, offering hope for earlier diagnosis.
Unraveling the Genetic Mysteries of Psychiatric Disorders
This study integrated genetic, exon-level transcriptomic and single-cell data, pinpointing 110 core genes and shared pathways like circadian rhythm, cortisol, and dopamine signaling. Affected genes are key in excitatory neurons in the prefrontal cortex, suggesting links to cognitive issues.
Why People with Alcohol Use Disorder Still Know How to Be Prosocial – and What That Tells Us About the Brain
Why do people with alcohol use disorder (AUD) often struggle in social situations? One common theory suggests that long-term alcohol use might dull the brain’s ability to connect actions with social rewards – in other words, the sense of satisfaction from helping others.
Cardiovascular Biomechanics Through the Lens of Artificial Intelligence
While assessing cardiac biomechanics through advanced imaging is well-established, we trace the development of synthetic echocardiogram signals derived from surface electrocardiograms using an AI-driven, noninvasive approach with strong potential for population-wide screening and personalized care.
