Cerebral small vessel disease lesion segmentation methods: A systematic review

Author(s): Phelps J; Singh M; McCreary CR; Dallaire-Théroux C; Stein RG; Potvin-Jutras Z; Guan DX; Wu JD; Metz A; Smith EE;

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) can manifest as brain lesions visible on magnetic resonance imaging, including white matter hyperintensities (WMH), cerebral microbleeds (CMB), perivascular spaces (PVS), lacunes, and recent small subcortical infarcts (RSSI). Detection and segmentation of thes ...

The legality of weight discrimination in Canada: an environmental scan of case law and the limits of Canadian legislation

Author(s): Nutter S; Waugh R; McEachran E; Toor A; Shelley J; Alberga AS; Forhan M; Kirk SF; Nagpal TS; Patton I; Ramos Salas X; Russell-Mayhew S;

Weight stigma negatively impacts people with higher weights across the lifespan as well as social contexts and can lead to weight discrimination. As weight is not a protected identity in Canadian human rights legislation, it is important to better understand how weight discrimination is being arg ...

BOLD Long-Range Temporal Correlations Reflect Changes in Language and Depression Across Intensive Aphasia Therapy

Author(s): Jäger AP; Steele CJ; Dreyer FR; Osterloh MR; Sadlon A; Nikulin V; Mohr B; Pulvermüller F;

Background: Intensive language-action therapy treats language deficits and depressive symptoms in chronic poststroke aphasia, yet the underlying neural mechanisms remain underexplored. Long-range temporal correlations (LRTCs) in blood oxygenation level-dependent signals indicate persistence in brain activity patterns and may relate to learning and levels ...

Development and Application of Children s Sex- and Age-Specific Fat-Mass and Muscle-Mass Reference Curves From Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry Data for Predicting Cardiometabolic Risk

Author(s): Saputra ST; Van Hulst A; Henderson M; Brugiapaglia S; Faustini C; Kakinami L;

Background: A dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-derived phenotype classification based on fat mass and muscle mass has been developed for adults. We extended this to a paediatric population. Methods: Children's (= 17 years) DXA data in NHANES (n = 6120) were used to generate sex- and age-specific deciles of appendicular skeletal muscle mass inde ...

Multivariate white matter microstructure alterations in older adults with coronary artery disease

Author(s): Tremblay SA; Potvin-Jutras Z; Sabra D; Rezaei A; Sanami S; Gagnon C; Intzandt B; Mainville-Berthiaume A; Wright L; Leppert IR; Tardif CL; Steele CJ; Iglesies-Grau J; Nigam A; Bherer L; Gauthier CJ;

Patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) face an increased risk of cognitive impairment, dementia, and stroke. While white matter (WM) lesions are frequently reported in patients with CAD, the effects on WM microstructure alterations remain largely unknown. We aimed to identify WM microstructu ...

The age of obesity onset affects changes in subcutaneous adipose tissue macrophages and T cells after weight loss

Author(s): Murphy J; Morais JA; Tsoukas MA; Cooke AB; Daskalopoulou SS; Santosa S;

Introduction: Adipose tissue inflammation, driven in part by immune cells, may contribute to the elevated type 2 diabetes risk in adults with childhood-onset obesity (CO) compared to those with adult-onset obesity (AO). Weight loss can modify adipose tissue immune cell composition, but whether these changes differ by obesity onset remains unknown. Method ...

The longitudinal effects of global and regional brain measurements on cognitive abilities

Author(s): Hosseininasabnajar F; Kakinami L;

Loss of brain tissues and cognitive abilities are natural processes of aging, but longitudinal studies are limited. We explored the longitudinal association between global and regional brain measures with cognitive abilities among individuals with normal cognitive status, mild cognitive impairment, and Alzheimer's Disease, including those with stable ...
