Article Abstract
Changes in physiological state corresponding to fluctuations in heart rate and respiration drive non-neuronal contributions to the BOLD fMRI signal, complicating investigation of regions of the brain which participate in and process autonomic regulation: the central autonomic network (CAN). The estimation of physiological response functions (PRFs) provides a tool to interrogate and minimize the effects of these noise processes on fMRI connectivity. In this study, we explore the reproducibility of cardiac and respiratory response functions used to denoise resting and task data acquired with 3T MRI and their effect on the test-retest reliability of connectivity within the CAN. We characterize group-level PRFs during rest, fast-paced breathing and breath-holds, and a cold-pressor task and show that cardiac response dynamics vary significantly across scan conditions and subjects. Comparing physiological nuisance signals with indices of sympathetic and parasympathetic activity used to map the CAN, we further demonstrate that PRFs may provide an opportunity to disentangle neuronal and non-neuronal correlates of cardiac activity in fMRI data. Finally, we evaluate the effect of denoising on the test-retest reliability of connectivity between regions associated with the CAN, shedding light on the uses and limitations of PRFs for fMRI studies of brain-body interactions.

Sudden Death Caused by Bilateral Diaphragmatic Eventration in Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1.

Myotonic dystrophy type 1, or dystrophia myotonica type 1 (DM1), is a multisystem disorder inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. It is caused by a CTG tri-nucleotide expansion in the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of the dystrophia myotonia protein kinase (DMPK) gene. Core clinical features include progressive skeletal muscle weakness, myotonia, and systemic complications, with premature mortality most often due to respiratory or cardiac dysfunction.

Background: In clinical practice, digital subtraction angiography (DSA) often suffers from misregistration artifact resulting from voluntary, respiratory, and cardiac motion during acquisition. Most prior efforts to register the background DSA mask to subsequent postcontrast images rely on key point registration using iterative optimization, which has limited real-time application.
Purpose: Leveraging state-of-the-art, unsupervised deep learning, we aim to develop a fast, deformable registration model to substantially reduce DSA misregistration in craniocervical angiography without compromising spatial resolution or introducing new artifacts.
Clinical and Surgical Perspectives on Isolated Thoracic Ectopia Cordis: A Rare Case Report.

Ectopia cordis is an exceptionally uncommon congenital condition where the heart develops outside its normal position due to incomplete closure of the ventral chest wall during embryogenesis. The anomaly may occur in isolation or with other structural defects, often resulting in a poor prognosis despite advancements in medical and surgical care. This report discusses a preterm neonate delivered at 33 weeks of gestation following an uneventful pregnancy in a dizygotic twin gestation.

Contactless human-machine interfaces (C-HMIs) are revolutionizing artificial intelligence (AI)-driven domains, yet face application limitations due to narrow sensing ranges, environmental fragility, and structural rigidity. To address these obstacles, we developed a flexible photonic C-HMI (Flex-PCI) using flexible visible-blind near-infrared organic photodetectors. In addition to its unprecedented performance across key metrics, including broad detection range (0.

Background: Coagulation disorders are potentially one of the most important pathogeneses of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) following acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). This study aimed to determine whether aortic dissection singularly and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery can activate coagulation pathways, promoting ARDS development in patients with ATAAD.
Methods: A total of 450 patients who received treatment at Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University, between March 2023 and February 2024 were consecutively enrolled in this prospective cohort study.
