They discovered that the DMN has diverse brain cell types, specialized for d
Imagine trying to see what's happening inside a child's kidneys. Traditional scans can be tricky, but combining a special way of injecting contrast dye with a super cool scanning technology called dual-energy CT (DECT) is making a big difference. This method, known as split-bolus contrast injection,
Our teeth and gums might not seem like they're connected to our mental health, but turns out, they are! As people grow older, especially in places like Taiwan, oral health becomes super important. This study dug into how oral health affects a person's overall well-being, focusing on middle-aged and
