MRI Finds Brain Shape Changes Linked to Dementia Risk
Aging brain shape changes may signal dementia risk Aging brains don’t merely shrink; they also change shape in systematic ways. A Nature Communications study published on September 29 reveals that these global brain shape shifts, detected through MRI, are closely tied to cognitive status and could help clinicians assess dementia risk earlier in the disease…

Non-Accidental Trauma NAT in Infants: Detection and Care
Introduction Non-accidental trauma (NAT), also referred to as non-accidental injury, remains a critical concern in pediatric practice. The term NAT encompasses injuries that are likely inflicted by a caregiver or another person, rather than caused by an accidental event. A structured approach to recognition, diagnosis, and family-centered care is essential to safeguard the child and…

Poor Sleep May Accelerate Brain Aging, Study Finds
Poor sleep may accelerate brain aging, new findings suggest In a large study led by researchers at Karolinska Institutet, scientists explored how everyday sleep habits relate to the aging of the brain. Using data from 27,500 middle-aged and older adults in the UK Biobank, the team estimated brain age with machine learning on more than…

Poor Sleep Health May Accelerate Brain Aging, KI Study Finds
Overview: poor sleep and the aging brain Bad sleep has long been associated with dementia risk, but it remains unclear whether unhealthy sleep habits drive brain aging or simply reflect early disease symptoms. A large study from Karolinska Institutet addresses this question by examining how sleep patterns relate to brain aging in relation to chronological…

Poor Sleep Health Linked to Faster Brain Aging Across Adults
Why sleep quality may influence brain aging Emerging evidence suggests that how well we sleep might not only affect how rested we feel, but also how quickly our brains age. In a large UK-based study led by researchers at Karolinska Institutet, scientists explored whether unhealthy sleep patterns are connected to an older-looking brain, as measured…

Selecting Optimal Imaging Modalities for TAPVC Visualization
Overview: Why Imaging Modality Choice Matters in TAPVC Visualization Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a rare congenital heart defect in which pulmonary veins do not drain into the left atrium as expected. Accurate TAPVC imaging is essential to classify the drainage pattern, assess obstruction, and guide surgical planning. Because TAPVC anatomy can vary…
