New MicroRNAs as Candidates for Depression Therapy
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a complex, common, and recurrent mental disorder (1). The current first-line treatment for MDD is selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), which are antidepressant drugs that block serotonin reuptake. Two microRNA (miRNAs) molecules namely miR-30b-5p and miR-101a-3p were found to be downregulated in the raphe nuclei (RN) of mice following chronic […] Read More >
Automatic Detection of Spinal Pathologies Based on MRI Scans
This study introduces an automated system for detecting spinal pathologies in MRI scans, aiming to enhance efficiency and accuracy in medical diagnostics. By leveraging deep learning, the tool can assist radiologists in identifying and classifying pathological vertebrae, potentially improving diagnostic workflows. Background MRI scans are essential for diagnosing various lumbar spine conditions, including infections, inflammations, […] Read More >
Protecting the Diabetic Neuropathic Foot Using Optimized Wound Site Foot-Loading Footwear
Diabetic neuropathic foot ulcers are a common and serious complication of diabetes, leading to significant morbidity and healthcare costs. Current offloading solutions often face challenges in effectively redistributing plantar pressure to prevent ulcer formation. In this context, the development of innovative technologies such as graded stiffness offloading insoles presents a promising approach to address this […] Read More >
Touchless Short-Wave Infrared Imaging for Closed Eyes Pupillometry
Pupillometry, the measurement of pupil size and reactivity, is a critical component in neurological examinations and research. Traditional methods of assessing pupil dynamics are often limited to open-eye conditions and require direct contact, which can be impractical in various clinical settings, such as during sleep studies, anesthesia, or intensive care. The advent of touchless imaging […] Read More >
