.Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the cornerstone of imaging in patients with a malignancy in all stages of their treatment-before, during, and after the completion of it-to identify most of the cardiotoxic complications. However, the restricted time and resources of cardio-oncology services and the high volume of oncological patients and survivors on the other hand limit the access of this population to this modality. Focused Echo in Cardio-Oncology (FECO) in proportion to other focused cardiac protocols is proposed as a valuable tool after the initial standard complete TTE to (a) identify the potential toxicity expected by the specific cancer therapy applied; (b) assess sequentially the pre-existing abnormality, if any, in relation to therapy; (c) assess the effect of any cardio-protective intervention; (d) identify any cardiac origin of patient complaints during or after therapy; (e) assess cardiac function in asymptomatic patients who develop significant changes in cardiac biomarkers during cancer therapy. Four different protocols of FECO are proposed according to the type of cardiotoxicity anticipated FECOm (in patients on chemotherapeutics that cause myocardial dysfunction), FECOv (in patients at risk of valvular heart disease), FECOpd (in patients at risk of pericardial disease), and FECOph (in patients at risk of pulmonary hypertension). The application of FECO protocols is aimed to ensure accuracy, reliability, and effectiveness in the early identification of cardiovascular complications, improving quality of life, and being at the same time cost-effective.Mitochondria are dynamic organelles adapting their morphology by cycles of fission and fusion events to control cellular homeostasis. In this issue of The EMBO Journal, Murata and colleagues (2020) show that lack of mitochondrial division leads to safeguard mechanisms, induced by transient mitochondrial membrane depolarization and activation of the metalloprotease OMA1, to prevent extreme mitochondrial fusion and to maintain optimal mitochondrial bioenergetics.
Pelvic features, mostly known as parturition scars, have been extensively studied in the last decades and are frequently investigated in archaeological and forensic contexts. It is still unclear, however, whether they really relate to pregnancy and birth, or whether these features are caused by other biomechanical factors. Because the length and difficulty of labor correlates with the form of the birth canal, we studied the association between the expression of pelvic features and pelvic shape using geometric morphometrics.

We scored the expression of the preauricular sulcus, margo auricularis groove, sacral preauricular extension, dorsal and ventral pubic pitting for 54 individuals from a 19th century collection and 19 individuals from the Bronze Age cemetery of Hainburg-Teichtal, Austria. Based on photogrammetric surface models, pelvic shape was captured by 331 landmarks and semilandmarks. The multivariate association between pelvic features and pelvic shape was explored by partial least squares analysi result in the development of pronounced pelvic features.In light of the global crisis created by the outbreak of the coronavirus and the disease it causes, coronavirus disease 2019, the goal of the study was to detect factors that might enhance people's ability to experience positive psychological change during traumatic events. As such, this study examined the relationship between social participation and posttraumatic growth (PTG) during the coronavirus outbreak and tested the mediating role of hope, social support, and cognitive reappraisal in explaining this relationship. BAY 1217389 The sample consisted of 275 participants (21.8% male, and 78.2% female, with an average age of 33.42, SD = 13.63), subjected to social-distancing regulations during this period. Results demonstrated a serial mediation model in which social participation predicted PTG directly and indirectly through hope (pathways and agency), social support, and cognitive reappraisal. The importance of social participation in nourishing personal resources and practical implications including the need for prevention programs are discussed.
The fimbria is a small white matter bundle that connects the hippocampus to the rest of the brain. Damage to the hippocampal gray matter is established in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the hippocampal fimbrial status in the pathogenesis of AD is unclear. AD-related demyelination and iron deposition alter the diamagnetic and paramagnetic composition of tissues, which can be measured by quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM).

AD is associated with microstructural changes in the fimbria that might be detected by QSM.

Retrospective cross-sectional study.

In all, 53 adults comprised of controls (n = 30), subjects with early stage AD (n = 13), and late stage AD (n = 10) who were classified according to their amyloid and tau status and presence of hippocampal atrophy.

3T; 3D fast-field echo sequence for QSM analysis and 3D T
-weighted MP-RAGE sequence for anatomical analysis.

Segmentation of the left hippocampal fimbria subfield was performed on T
-weighted images and was applied to the coregistered QSM map for extraction of the mean, median, minimum, and maximum values of QSM.

Group comparison of QSM values using analysis of variance (ANOVA) with post-hoc Tukey's test, accuracy of binary differentiation using receiver operating characteristic (ROC), and individual classification using discriminant analysis.

QSM
and QSM
values were significantly different among the three groups (P < 0.05) and showed a shifting from negative in the control group to positive in the AD group. The control and early AD subjects, who have normal hippocampal volumes, were differentiated by the QSM
value (area under the curve [AUC] 0.744, P < 0.05) and the QSM
value (AUC 0.782, P < 0.05). Up to 76% of subjects (inclusive of 26 controls and six with early AD) were correctly classified using a model incorporating clinical and radiologic data.

The fimbria showed higher magnetic susceptibility in AD compared with controls.
