Full elucidation on the GB structures and especially the intriguing GB kinetics in such anisotropic 2D materials are of fundamental importance to understand the structure-property relationships and develop strain-tunable applications for 2D materials in future.2D ferromagnetic materials provide an important platform for the fundamental magnetic…[Read more]

Reactive astrocytes and dystrophic neurites, most aberrant presynaptic elements, are found surrounding amyloid-β plaques in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We have previously shown that reactive astrocytes enwrap, phagocytose, and degrade dystrophic synapses in the hippocampus of APP mice and AD patients, but affecting less than 7% of dystrophic…[Read more]

A new solution to overcome the constraints of multimodality medical intra-subject image registration is proposed, using the mutual information (MI) of image histogram-oriented gradients as a new matching criterion. We present a rigid, multi-modal image registration algorithm based on linear transformation and oriented gradients for the alignment…[Read more]

Endometriosis is a functioning endometrial tissue outside the inner layer of the uterine wall. Liver endometriosis is one of the rarest forms of atypical endometriosis. In this article, we report a patient with this disease. A 59-year-old patient complained of heaviness and periodic pain in the right hypochondrium for more than a year. Previous…[Read more]

BACKGROUND Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. It is not well understood, however, which individuals with NAFLD are at highest risk for cardiovascular disease. AIMS To determine the factors associated with incident cardiovascular events in a prospective cohort of individuals…[Read more]
