Evaluating Cognitive Function and Brain Activity Patterns via Blood Oxygen Level-Dependent Transformer in N-Back Working Memory Tasks by Zhenming Zhang, Yaojing Chen, Aidong Men, Zhuqing Jiang

“…This study aimed to evaluate brain activation patterns by analyzing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) time-series data collected during a designed N-back working memory task with varying cognitive demands. (2) Methods: We utilized a novel transformer model, blood oxygen level-dependent transformer (BolT), to extract the activation level features of brain regions in the cognitive process, thereby obtaining the influence weights of regions of interest (ROIs) on the corresponding tasks. (3) Results: Compared with previous studies, our work reached similar conclusions in major brain region performance and provides a more precise analysis for identifying brain activation patterns. …”

Changes in left ventricular structure and function in Type 2 diabetic patients, depending on the presence of cardiac autonomic neuropathy and metabolic syndrome components by E. Yu. Lunina, I. S. Petrukhin

“…Over 50% of the patients with 0–1 MS component and two-thirds of the patients with ≥2 MS components had disturbed LV diastolic function. In the former, CAN presence did not affect the prevalence of diastolic dysfunction, while in the latter, diastolic dysfunction was significantly more prevalent among CAN-positive individuals (90,7%, compared to 56,2% in CAN-negative patients with ≥2 MS components; p=0,001). …”
