Photogrammetry has become an essential tool in medical and research fields for generating high-fidelity 3D models from 2D images. However, optimizing the imaging and processing parameters remains a challenge, particularly for fresh brain specimens, where repeated imaging is not feasible. This study systematically evaluates the impact of various Metashape alignment settings on 3D reconstruction outcomes, analyzing 12,600 config...

Purpose Systematic collection and analysis of antimicrobial resistance data from key bacterial pathogens is essential to contribute to control antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The aim of this work was to survey the drug resistance on clinically relevant organisms stratified according to age, gender, clinical specimens and facilities. Methods Microbiological data were collected from 55 centers across 24 states in Mexico between...

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 10 (SCA10) is a rare, inherited neurological disease caused by an expansion of the non-coding ATTCT pentanucleotide repeat in the ATAXIN 10 gene. It is characterized by cerebellar ataxia and epilepsy. Previous research has demonstrated extensive white and gray matter degeneration, particularly in the cerebellum. However, the impact of the SCA10 mutation on functional connectivity (FC) remains unexpl...

Purpose This study aimed to compare the effects of water- versus land-based resistance training on body composition (fat and muscle mass), strength (isometric and isokinetic), and health-related quality of life in older women. Methods Ninety-three apparently healthy volunteers (age: 68.91 ± 5.05 years) participated in this prospective randomized controlled trial and were divided into three groups with a block-design randomizat...

Amid the rising relevance of early and non-invasive markers for neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, this study addresses the relationship between two promising candidates: electrophysiology and plasma markers. Specifically, functional connectivity, which underlies cognitive function, with p-tau231 (i.e., a marker of incipient Aβ pathology) and neurofilament light chain (NfL, i.e., a neurodegeneration marke...
