Article Synopsis
- * Using advanced diffusion tensor imaging (DTI-ALPS), researchers found that T2DM patients exhibited significantly lower glymphatic function compared to those with normal glucose metabolism and prediabetes, alongside reduced cognitive function on the mini-mental state examination (MMSE).
- * The study also discovered various correlations between glymphatic indices and clinical features, such as blood glucose levels and cholesterol, particularly within the prediabetes group, highlighting potential links between glymphatic dysfunction and metabolic health.
Objective: The study aimed to analyze computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging features of patients with solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma.
Methods: Ten cases with solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma were included in this study. CT and MRI features of solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma were retrospectively analyzed.
Rationale And Objectives: Neurodegeneration is an early event in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR). We assessed the white matter microstructural integrity of the visual pathway in diabetes patients vs. healthy subjects, and investigated the advantages of generalized Q-sampling imaging (GQI) in the assessment of the visual pathway.

Methods: Based on resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) data collected from SLE patients and matched healthy controls (HCs), the voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC) analysis was conducted to measure functional homotopy. Subsequently, correlations between altered functional homotopy and clinical/neuropsychological data were analyzed.
