Summary: This study finds abnormal brain iron deposition in patients with HH without liver failure using magnetic resonance imaging. A significant proportion of these patients also exhibit movement disorders. Peripheral iron measurements do not correlate with brain iron deposition. Therefore, routine neurological examination and quantitative brain iron imaging are recommended for all HH patients.

Summary: Haemochromatosis is a common genetic disease in patients of northern European ancestry. It is often misdiagnosed in patients without iron overload and underdiagnosed in many patients. Early diagnosis through genetic testing and treatment with periodic phlebotomy can prevent serious complications such as liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, and death. This Seminar provides an update on the origins of haemochromatosis and covers pathophysiology, genetics, natural history, signs and symptoms, differential diagnoses, treatment with phlebotomy, outcomes, and future directions.

Summary: The study evaluated the performance and reproducibility of complex confounder-corrected R2* across different acquisition protocols at both 1.5 T and 3.0 T. The results showed that R2* demonstrated high reproducibility across different acquisition protocols and field strengths, with high predictive ability for clinically relevant LIC thresholds.

Summary: This study found that thalidomide treatment can effectively improve liver iron burden and volume in patients with transfusion-dependent ss-thalassemia, and MRI-measured indicators can be used to monitor liver iron concentration noninvasively.

Summary: As individuals age, the liver undergoes changes in volume, perfusion, function, fat content, and iron content, with more pronounced changes in women after menopause. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is common among assumed healthy subjects, with a higher prevalence in males from childhood to middle age, but a shift toward higher prevalence in females after the age of 60. Liver microperfusion volume decreases in healthy females before menopause age. In aging, liver fat content leads to decreased apparent diffusion coefficient and intravoxel incoherent motion measures, while liver iron content shortens T2* measure, decreases ADC and IVIM-Dslow measures, increases imaging noises, and decreases liver visibility. Young women have high liver T1rho value that decreases substantially with age, while in men it remains relatively unchanged. In positron emission tomography (PET) studies, aging is associated with an increase in liver fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose maximum standard uptake and mean standard uptake values.

Summary: Iron-based hollow nanoplatforms (Fe-HNPs) have gained increasing attention as safe and effective theranostic tools for cancer imaging and treatment. Fe-HNPs can serve as contrast agents for MRI and therapeutic agents for various therapies, while also allowing the loading of small molecules for multifunctional theranostics. This review summarizes the recent advancements in Fe-HNPs for cancer imaging and treatment, and discusses the potential clinical obstacles and implications for future research.

Summary: This study explored the application of quantitative magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of autism in children. The results showed that autistic children had lower iron content and cerebral blood flow compared to healthy children, as well as abnormalities in brain microstructure in certain areas. Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging could distinguish autistic children, with multimodal technology being the preferred choice.

Summary: The study found that APT imaging has a relatively high technical success rate in the liver, but may fail in certain cases. Among the analyzable 59 FLLs, the MTR (asym) values of liver metastases were significantly higher than hepatocellular carcinomas.

Summary: Juvenile haemochromatosis is a severe inherited iron-loading disorder that affects children and adolescents, leading to multi-organ dysfunction. Diagnosis is based on extreme increases in serum ferritin and transferrin saturation, supported by MRI findings of iron deposition in organs. Genetic mutations play a key role in this condition, and prompt treatment with iron chelation is essential for patient recovery.

Summary: This study found that the functional liver imaging score (FLIS) based on preoperative gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI can predict posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. FLIS has a higher predictive power than the MELD score, ALBI score, and ICG-R15 clearance.

Summary: This study synthesized amino-grafted ferromagnetic nanoparticles with highly stable dispersion using deep-eutectic-solvent electrolysis, and successfully applied them in magnetic resonance imaging. These nanoparticles exhibited high biocompatibility and had high longitudinal and transverse relaxation efficiencies, enabling prominent weighted imaging of T1 and T2 of the liver, as well as significant distinction between normal tissue and liver tumors.

Summary: This study described the prevalence, clinical features, and complications of human metapneumovirus (hMPV) infections in adults hospitalized with influenza-like illness (ILI). The results showed that hMPV infections mainly affect the elderly and patients with chronic conditions, leading to frequent cardiac and pulmonary complications similar to those of RSV infections.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of simulated microgravity on iron metabolism in rats, finding that exposure to microgravity leads to iron misdistribution and durable reduction in iron availability. The upregulation of hepcidin in response to microgravity is not a transient adaptation, and skeletal muscle may not play a key role in the iron misdistribution that occurs in this environment.

Summary: Emotional eating refers to the tendency to (over)eat in response to emotions. It involves the consumption of high-calorie palatable foods and can lead to eating disorders, metabolic disorders, and obesity. Although abnormal emotion processing is associated with emotional eating, the neural pathways involved are still not well-known.
