Article Abstract
Background: Gastroesophageal reflux disease has a prevalence of 12% in the Brazilian population. Its treatment includes hygienic-dietary changes, use of medications and, in selected cases, surgery with laparos-copic hiatoplasty and Nissen total fundoplication. However, this last treatment modality presents risks of postoperative dysphagia. High Resolution Esophageal Manometry (HREM) has been considered the test of choice for identifying patients who are candidates for surgical treatment at an increased risk of developing dysphagia.
Objective: The objective of this study is to carry out a systematic review to evaluate the clinical and manometric factors that predict post-hiatoplasty and Nissen fundoplication dysphagia using HREM.
Methods And Results: Having defined the search engine, we used the databases MEDLINE, PUBMED, EBSCOHOST, SCOPUS and EMBASE. 2147 articles were identified. After selection, 11 studies remained.
Conclusion: We concluded that the data from the selected articles are heterogeneous, but there is agreement regarding a higher risk of dysphagia among female patients, patients with dysphagia present in the preoperative period and, about manometric parameters, for patients with dysphagia in the preoperative period, there is a higher incidence of dysphagia resolution for patients with DCI >1000 mmHg.s.cm. In patients with ineffective esophageal motility, it is recommended to perform the Rapid Multiple Swallowing Test to assess the contractile reserve of the eso-phageal body. If there is an increase in contractile strength with this test, it is considered safe to perform a total fundoplication because the incidence of late dysphagia is low in these cases.

Stratified profiling of azoospermia: Differentiating histological subtypes with seminal plasma metabolic signatures.
J Biomed Res
September 2025
State Key Laboratory of Reproductive Medicine and Offspring Health, Nanjing Medical University; Nanjing, Jiangsu 211166, China.
Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA), characterized by impaired spermatogenesis and the complete absence of sperm in the ejaculate, represents one of the most severe forms of male infertility. Current diagnostic strategies rely on invasive procedures such as testicular sperm extraction, underscoring the urgent need for reliable, non-invasive alternatives. In the present study, we performed untargeted metabolomic profiling of human seminal plasma to identify biomarker panels capable of stratifying azoospermia subtypes through a stepwise approach.

Neuroscience Research Australia, Randwick, New South Wales, Australia.
Background: Individuals with a family history of bipolar disorder are at increased risk of developing affective psychopathology. Longitudinal imaging studies in young people with familial risk have been limited, and cortical developmental trajectories in the progression towards illness remain obscure.
Aims: To establish high-resolution longitudinal differences in cortical structure that are associated with risk of bipolar disorder.
Few-shot learning for highly accelerated 3D time-of-flight MRA reconstruction.

Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging, FMRIB Division, Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK.
Purpose: To develop a deep learning-based reconstruction method for highly accelerated 3D time-of-flight MRA (TOF-MRA) that achieves high-quality reconstruction with robust generalization using extremely limited acquired raw data, addressing the challenge of time-consuming acquisition of high-resolution, whole-head angiograms.
Methods: A novel few-shot learning-based reconstruction framework is proposed, featuring a 3D variational network specifically designed for 3D TOF-MRA that is pre-trained on simulated complex-valued, multi-coil raw k-space datasets synthesized from diverse open-source magnitude images and fine-tuned using only two single-slab experimentally acquired datasets. The proposed approach was evaluated against existing methods on acquired retrospectively undersampled in vivo k-space data from five healthy volunteers and on prospectively undersampled data from two additional subjects.
Volumetric thermometry in moving tissues using stack-of-radial MRI and an image-navigated multi-baseline proton resonance frequency shift method.

Purpose: To develop and evaluate a volumetric proton resonance frequency shift (PRF)-based thermometry method for monitoring thermal ablation in moving tissues.
Methods: A golden-angle-ordered 3D stack-of-radial MRI sequence was combined with an image-navigated multi-baseline (iNAV-MB) PRF method to reconstruct motion-compensated 3D temperature maps with high spatiotemporal resolution and volumetric coverage. Two radial MRI reconstruction techniques, k-space weighted image contrast filter (KWIC) and golden-angle radial sparse parallel (GRASP) MRI, were implemented and compared within a sliding window reconstruction framework.

The ryanodine receptors (RyRs) represent an optimal target for insecticide development. To explore novel structures of RyRs agonists, a series of compounds containing 1,2,4-oxadiazole were designed and synthesized based on the RyRs structure. The compounds were confirmed by H and C nuclear magnetic resonance as well as high-resolution mass spectrometry.
