Ventricular function assessment using an ultrafast spoiled gradient echo sequence with an intravascular blood pool contrast agent in pediatric patients
Authors: Miah Tayaba , Gunda Rithvik , Greil Gerald , Hussain Mohammad , Zou Qing 
Published: January 2025

Background
Balanced steady-state free processing (bSSFP) MR sequence has long been considered the gold standard method for ventricular function assessment (VFA), and normal values are based on this acquisition. However, bSSFP sequence suffers from susceptibility artifacts due to scenarios such as cardiac implants. The T1-TFE sequence, also known as ultrafast spoiled gradient sequence, is less affected by such susceptibility artifacts. While it is unclear if T1-TFE sequence yields similar VFA results as the bSSFP sequence.

Purpose
To validate if the T1-TFE sequence, with an intravascular blood pool contrast agent, yields similar results for VFA as the gold-standard non-contrast bSSFP approach, so that the T1-TFE sequence can be used for VFA when bSSFP approach fails.

Methods
Two sets of images from two different sequences were utilized in this study. T1-TFE (with contrast) scans were used as one while bSSFP-derived images were used as the other. 37 pediatric patients were recruited into this study. Semi-automated software (cvi42) was used to segment and derive ventricular volumes. Image quality was objectively assessed by comparing signal-to-noise (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) scores. Last, two expert readers provided a subjective analysis of image quality. Paired t-tests were used to assess significant differences in volumetric values (end-diastolic and end-systolic) between T1-TFE and bSSFP sequences. A Bland-Altman analysis evaluated potential bias and agreement between these sequences.

Results
Ventricular function assessment via volumetric data analysis resulted in no statistically significant differences (P > 0.05), and high R2 values. SNR and CNR scores also presented with no statistically significant differences (P > 0.05), and nearly identical scores (SNR T1-TFE mean: 29.5 ± 3.1, SNR bSSFP mean: 28.8 ± 3.7, CNR T1-TFE mean: 28.8 ± 3.3, CNR bSSFP mean: 28.1 ± 4.0). Image quality assessment via expert subjective image analysis scores is consistent with the data. All Bland-Altman plots show good agreement and reveal no systematic bias or random error.

Conclusion
T1-TFE sequences in combination with Ferumoxytol allow reliable ventricular function assessment and overcome the limitations of traditional bSSFP MR sequences in this context.

Mortality Reimagined: Going through Deleuze’s Encounter with Death
Authors: Sariyar Murat 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Deleuze’s philosophy, celebrated for its affirmation of life, also offers a profound and nuanced exploration of death, challenging conventional understandings of individuality and existence. Through key concepts such as the “death drive,” the “virtual,” and “assemblage,” Deleuze frames death not as a terminus, but as an integral process within life itself. This article critically examines Deleuze’s conception of death in three main stages. First, I explore how Deleuze characterizes the ego as a metastable entity – inherently fragile and prone to disintegration. This implies that we are always already embedded in processes that draw us into larger becomings, dissolving fixed identities. Next, I differentiate this perspective from spiritual traditions that emphasize ego dissolution. I argue that Deleuze’s framework, while grounded in a secular, intellectual engagement with worldly involvement, offers insights that could enrich spiritual discourse. Finally, I also identify limitations in his approach. Deleuze’s intense focus on the creation of the new often overlooks what he terms the “first death,” which aligns with traditional conceptions of mortality as an absolute end. He appears to neglect the possibility of a final cessation of all processes, such as the heat death of the cosmos. After presenting the practical implications of these considerations for religious life, I conclude by addressing various points of contact between these reflections and other intellectual currents. While Deleuze’s philosophy may not serve as a definitive framework for understanding death, engaging with his ideas provides insightful and novel perspectives on existence. It encourages a reexamination of the boundaries between life and death from an immanent standpoint, enriching traditional perspectives.

Abstract
Spin crossover metal complexes (SCO) are unique class of coordination compounds that can switch between LS and HS (low and high spin) states in response to external stimuli like pressure, temperature, gas molecules and light irradiation. This bistable behaviour makes them excellent candidate for many technological applications like data storage, molecular switches, actuators and sensing applications. The sensing mechanism of these complexes is based on the reversible change in their spin state which results in difference in magnetic, electrical and optical responses which can be evaluated with high sensitivity. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the synthesis methods and characterization techniques of SCO metal complexes with a special focus on their gas sensing applications that remains unexplored in the literature. To address this gap this, review comprehensively examines approximately eight published researches in this field, with a particular focus on gases such as ammonia (NH3), carbon dioxide (CO2) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like ethanol, methanol and alcohol we highlight the sensitivity and selectivity of SCO based metal complexes with their future prospects to enhance their performances for the future gas detection technologies. The review aims to explore the potential of SCO complexes in gas sensing technology and highlight the ongoing progress in this field. To the best of our knowledge this is the first ever review article which is dedicated exclusively to the gas sensing application of SCO based metal complexes to provide a new way for the advancement in this emerging field.
Abnormal local cortical functional connectivity due to interneuron dysmaturation after neonatal intermittent hypoxia.

Published: January 2025

Prematurely born infants often experience frequent hypoxic episodes due to immaturity of respiratory control resulting in disturbances of cortical development and long-term cognitive and behavioral abnormalities. We hypothesize that neonatal intermittent hypoxia alters maturation of cortical excitatory and inhibitory circuits that can be detected early with functional MRI. C57BL/6 mouse male and female pups were exposed to an intermittent hypoxia (IH) regimen from P3 to P7, corresponding to pre-term humans. Adult mice after neonatal IH exhibited motor hyperactivity and impaired motor learning in complex wheel tests. Patch clamp and evoked field potential recordings revealed increased glutamatergic synaptic transmission. To investigate the role of GABAergic inhibition on glutamatergic transmission during the developmental, we applied a selective GABAA receptor inhibitor picrotoxin. A decreased synaptic inhibitory drive in the motor cortex was evidenced by miniature IPSC frequency on pyramidal cells, multi-unit activity recording in vivo with picrotoxin injection, and decreased interneuron density. There was also an increased tonic depolarizing effect of picrotoxin after IH on Betz cells' membrane potential on patch clamp and direct current potential in extracellular recordings. The amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation on resting-state fMRI was larger, with a larger increase in regional homogeneity index after picrotoxin injection in the IH group.The increased glutamatergic transmission, decreased numbers, and activity of inhibitory interneurons after neonatal IH may affect the maturation of connectivity in cortical networks, resulting in long-term cognitive and behavioral changes. Functional MRI reveals increased intrinsic connectivity in the sensorimotor cortex, suggesting neuronal dysfunction in cortical maturation after neonatal IH.Significance StatementThe study demonstrates that perinatal hypoxic brain injury disrupts the balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission in developing cortical networks. This disruption, potentially caused by functional deficiencies in GABAergic interneurons alongside increased glutamatergic transmission, may contribute to altered brain connectivity and the observed behavioral deficits, including hyperactivity and cognitive difficulties. This research provides insights into how perinatal brain injury disrupts the balance of neural excitation and inhibition, which can be detected as altered local resting-state fMRI connectivity. These findings contribute to our understanding of possible cellular underpinning of clinical fMRI findings after perinatal brain injury.

Published: January 2025

La diversidad genética es una condición básica que determina cómo las especies mantienen sus funciones metabólicas en diversos ecosistemas. Los ecosistemas acuáticos, se enfrentan a diferentes problemáticas, que ponen en riesgo la diversidad genética de varios grupos taxonómicos como los insectos acuáticos, que desempeñan un importante papel ecológico en estos ambientes. El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar la diversidad genética de chinches acuáticos y semiacuáticos en un sistema cenagoso de la cuenca media del río Magdalena. Se realizó trabajo de campo y se recolectaron los ejemplares mediante barridos con una red entomológica acuática tipo D, en el laboratorio se realizó un análisis de la subunidad 1 del gen Citocromo Oxidasa (COI). Se identificaron 29 ejemplares con la información disponible en el Barcode of Life Data System (BOLD) y GenBank, y se estimaron las distancias y las relaciones genéticas entre Gerromorpha y Nepomorpha. Para el infraorden Gerromorpha se identificaron tres especies, una especie no descrita de Metrobates sp. y once morfotipos agrupados en nueve géneros de cuatro familias y para Nepomorpha se identificó una especie no descrita y tres morfotipos agrupados en tres géneros de la familia Notonectidae. Se obtuvo un nuevo registro del COI para Ovatametra obesa en Colombia. Las distancias genéticas variaron desde 0,05 hasta 0,29 para Gerromorpha y para Nepomorpha los valores fueron menores a 0,24. La alta variación identificada para Gerromorpha y Nepomorpha resalta la diversidad de esta entomofauna presente en la ciénaga, y demuestra la resiliencia ecológica de estos grupos frente a la intervención antrópica.

Epistemologias do Sul e o relógio:
Authors: Balbino Marcelo , A. Künsch Dimas 
Published: January 2025

Este artigo tem por objetivo realizar um possível diálogo entre o pensamento de Boaventura de Sousa Santos em sua obra Epistemologias do Sul e os conceitos de aceleração social e velocidade. O percurso será realizado a partir da comparação de referenciais teóricos, literatura e exemplos sociais, como as recentes conjecturas do sociólogo alemão Hartmut Rosa e o filósofo sul-coreano Byung-Chul Han. O estudo mostra que a categoria do tempo pode compor o pensamento abissal quando domina e segrega os indivíduos por meio de um totalitarismo exigido pela velocidade, colocando de lado outros ritmos pessoais, naturais ou subjetivos. A análise pretende lançar luz em um dos temas mais desafiadores da atualidade: o gerenciamento e controle do tempo, acrescido das implicações que moldam a vida e o trabalho das pessoas, seja por exigências práticas ou diferentes percepções vivenciadas pela passagem e utilização do tempo.

Published: January 2025

Background:
Abnormal plasma sodium concentration represents an imbalance of total body water relative to electrolyte content. Hyponatremia is a common and potentially severe adverse event, and thiazide diuretics constitute a leading cause of drug-induced hyponatremia.

Methods:
We conducted genome-wide association study analyses of plasma sodium concentration, thiazide-induced decrease in sodium concentration, and thiazide-induced hyponatremia in a total of 188,464 individuals of European ancestry . Additionally, we tested for gene-environment interaction between a polygenic score developed for plasma sodium concentration and thiazide exposure on sodium concentration and hyponatremia risk.

Results:
Meta-analysis yielded 31 independent associated signals at P<5×10−8 with plasma sodium concentrations. Subsequent tissue specificity analysis showed a significantly increased expression of sodium-associated genes in pituitary tissue (P=4.5×10−5). No genome-wide significant loci were found for thiazide-induced sodium concentration decrease or thiazide-induced hyponatremia. A polygenic score for plasma sodium concentration was associated with 0.43 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.39-0.46) mmol/L lower plasma sodium per standard deviation lower, and thiazide use was associated with 0.80 (95% CI=0.72-0.88) mmol/L lower plasma sodium, but we observed no gene-environment interaction effect (P=0.71).

Conclusions:
These results underline the role of genetic variation in regulating plasma sodium concentration and highlight the importance of pathways involving the pituitary gland while finding no evidence of genetic predisposition for the plasma sodium-lowering effect of thiazides.
Post-transplant Thrombotic Microangiopathy
Authors: Java Anuja , Sparks Matthew A. , Kavanagh David 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a challenging and serious complication of kidney transplantation that significantly impacts graft and patient survival, occurring in 0.8–15% of transplant recipients. TMA is characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and organ injury due to endothelial damage and microthrombi formation in small vessels. However, clinical features can range from a renal-limited form, diagnosed only on a kidney biopsy, to full-blown systemic manifestations, which include neurological, gastrointestinal, and cardiovascular injury. TMA can arise due to genetic or acquired defects such as in complement-mediated TMA or can occur in the context of other conditions like infections, autoimmune diseases or immunosuppressive drugs, where complement activation may also play a role. Recurrent TMA after kidney transplant is almost always complement-mediated, although complement overactivation may also play a role in de novo post-transplant TMAs associated with ischemia-reperfusion injury, immunosuppressive drugs, antibody-mediated rejection, viral infections, and relapse of autoimmune diseases such as, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. Differentiating between a complement-mediated process and one triggered by other factors is often challenging but critical to minimize allograft damage since the former is non-responsive to supportive therapy, needs long-term anti-complement therapy and has a high risk of recurrence. Given the central role of complement and impact of genetic defects on the risk of recurrence in many forms of post-transplant TMA, genetic testing for complement disorders is key for proper diagnosis and management. Given that complement activation may also play a role in a subset of TMAs associated with other conditions, prompt recognition and timely initiation of anti-complement therapy is equally important. Additionally, TMA associated with non-complement genes, often part of a broader syndromic process with distinct clinical features, has also been described. Early identification and treatment are essential to prevent graft failure and other severe complications. This review explores the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying various post-transplant TMAs.

As Marcas do Real
Authors: Dionísio Rita de Cássia Silva 
Published: January 2025

Resumo de Ana, do crítico literário e ficcionista contemporâneo Modesto Carone, é uma narrativa dividida em duas partes distintas, dois contos complementares que contam, numa dicção que mistura o exercício de lembranças com o constrangimento, as histórias de Ana e Ciro. São dois resumos, pois expõem, abreviadamente, a sucessão de acontecimentos de duas histórias de vida, extraindo delas as partes necessárias para compor a visão de conjunto e dar a impressão de totalidade. Esta pesquisa tenta verificar as condições de produção desse texto literário caroneano e suas articulações entre ficção, memória e história, considerando o contexto histórico da época em que o enredo dessa obra se desenvolve. Discutindo algumas questões sobre o contexto contemporâneo e pós-moderno, este trabalho fundamenta-se na afirmação de que, nessa obra caroneana, o condicionamento social e histórico da literatura não constitui apenas uma moldura, mas a própria substância da realidade artística.
