ABSTRACT Aim This study aimed to examine microvascular lesions and neurodegenerative changes in diabetic retinopathy (DR) compared to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) without DR (NDR) using structural MRI and to explore their associations with DR.Methods 243 patients with NDR and 122 patients with DR were included.Participants underwent conventional
Acquisition of innate odor preference depends on spontaneous and experiential activities during critical period
Animals possess an inborn ability to recognize vegetable glycerin for sale certain odors to avoid predators, seek food, and find mates.Innate odor preference is thought to be genetically hardwired.Here we report that acquisition of innate odor recognition requires spontaneous neural activity and is influenced by sensory experience during early post
Study of nuclear low-lying excitation spectra with the Bayesian neural network approach
Nuclear low-lying excitation spectra are studied with the Bayesian neural network (BNN) approach by taking 02+, 21+, and 41+ states as examples.The BNN approach can well describe the low-lying excitation energies in a large energy scale from about 0.1 MeV to about several MeV, by including an input related to nuclear collectivity besides read more
Art therapy and music reminiscence activity in the prevention of cognitive decline: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Abstract Background Attention has shifted to the use of non-pharmacological interventions to prevent cognitive decline as a preventive strategy, as well as for those at risk and those with mild cognitive impairment.Early introduction of psycho-social interventions can address cognitive decline and significantly impact quality of life and the wellbe
