Association between seated trunk control and cortical sensorimotor white matter brain changes in patients with chronic low back pain

Trunk control involves integration of sensorimotor information in the brain Individuals with chronic low back pain cLBP have impaired trunk control and show differences in brain structure and function

Enhanced deep learning model for precise nodule localization and recurrence risk prediction following curative-intent surgery for lung cancer

Radical surgery is the primary treatment for earlystage resectable lung cancer yet recurrence after curative surgery is not uncommon Identifying patients at high risk of recurrence

Microglia through MFG-E8 signaling decrease the density of degenerating neurons and protect the brain from the development of cortical infarction after stroke

Neuronal loss is a hallmark of stroke and other neurodegenerative diseases and as such neuronal loss caused by microglia has been thought to be a contributing factor to disease progression
