This article compares resting-state functional magnetic resonance (fMR) imaging with task fMR imaging for presurgical functional mapping of the sensorimotor (SM) region. Before tumor resection, 38 patients were scanned using both methods. The SM area was anatomically defined using 2 different software tools. Overlap of anatomic regions of interest with task activation maps and resting-state networks was measured in the SM region. A paired t-test showed higher overlap between resting-state maps and anatomic references compared with task activation when using a maximal overlap criterion. Resting state-derived maps are more comprehensive than those derived from task fMR imaging.

Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is a common condition with significant prognostic implications, primarily driven by left atrial or ventricular remodeling secondary to ischemic or non-ischemic cardiomyopathies. While guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) remains the cornerstone of management, reducing mitral regurgitation severity in up to 40-45% of cases, additional interventions are often necessary. In patients where atrial fibrillation (AF) or ventricular dyssynchrony due to abnormal electrical conduction contributes to disease progression, guideline-directed AF management or cardiac resynchronization therapy plays a pivotal role.

Background: Current clinical guidelines do not recommend mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) for patients with moderate functional mitral regurgitation (FMR), and the implications of M-TEER in this population are not well documented.
Aims: We aimed to assess M-TEER outcomes in patients with symptomatic moderate FMR compared to those with FMR ≥3+ who were treated with the PASCAL system in the MiCLASP study.
Methods: Patients were stratified by baseline FMR grade (2+ or ≥3+).

: Childhood obesity represents a growing public health concern. It is closely associated with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), which impairs nocturnal breathing and significantly affects neurocognitive and cardiovascular health. This review aims to analyse differences in fat distribution, anthropometric parameters, and instrumental assessments of paediatric OSA compared to adult OSA to improve the diagnostic characterisation of obese children.

: Anatomical and functional damage of the mitral valve (MV) apparatus in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is secondary to left ventricular (LV) injury, leading to functional mitral regurgitation (FMR). Real-time four-dimensional echocardiography (RT 4DE) is a useful imaging technique in different pathologies, including DCM. Left atrial (LA) strain, as measured by left atrium quantification software, is an accurate technique for evaluating increased filling pressure.

In modern days, increasing weapon-related threats in public places have created an immediate need for intelligent surveillance systems to detect crime in real-time. Traditional surveillance systems have struggles with recognizing small objects, occlusion, and the time it takes to respond, which makes them ineffective in crowded and fast-changing situations. To overcome these challenges, the suggested system combines closed-circuit television (CCTV) surveillance cameras with advanced deep learning methods, image processing, and computer vision techniques for real-time crime prediction and prevention.
