The International Natural Product Sciences Taskforce (INPST) and the power of Twitter networking exemplified through #INPST hashtag analysis

Background: The development of digital technologies and the evolution of open innovation approaches have enabled the creation of diverse virtual organizations and enterprises coordinating their activities primarily online. The open innovation platform titled "International Natural Product Sciences Taskforce" (INPST) was established in 2018, to bring together in collaborative environment individuals and organizations interested in natural product scientific research, and to empower their interactions by using digital communication tools. Methods: In this work, we present a general overview of INPST activities and showcase the specific use of Twitter as a powerful networking tool that was used to host a one-week "2021 INPST Twitter Networking Event" (spanning from 31st May 2021 to 6th June 2021) based on the application of the Twitter hashtag #INPST. Results and Conclusion: The use of this hashtag during the networking event period was analyzed with Symplur Signals (https://www.symplur.com/), revealing a total of 6,036 tweets, shared by 686 users, which generated a total of 65,004,773 impressions (views of the respective tweets). This networking event's achieved high visibility and participation rate showcases a convincing example of how this social media platform can be used as a highly effective tool to host virtual Twitter-based international biomedical research events

Reviewing the magnetic resonance imaging anatomy of the posterolateral corner of the knee and its applied importance

The purpose of this article is to review the anatomy and magnetic resonance imaging appearances of all the structures which are noted in the posterolateral corner of the knee. These structures may not be commonly heard of but play a crucial role in providing the required stability and force to the knee joint. We hope that by putting light on this less explored part of the knee this article will be useful to many practicing clinicians and operating orthopedicians

Role of diffusion tensor imaging in dementia

Background: Dementia, with high morbidity and significant socioeconomic effect, is a debilitating disease of the elderly. Therefore, early diagnosis and early onset of treatment for cases of dementia can greatly decrease the morbidity associated with the disease. And Diffusion Tensor Imaging provides a promising future in this matter. Diffusion Tensor Imaging gives qualitative and quantitative information of the white matter tracts and hence can be useful to detect early micro-structural changes associated with dementia before obvious clinical features are appreciated.Method: Diffusion Tensor Imaging of 50 patients with clinical suspicion of dementia was done SIEMENS 3T MAGNETOM VIDA SCANNER. Results: There was an apparent correlation between the clinical dementia rating score and the FA values in the parahippocampal cingulum and uncinate fasciculus, with higher CDR score showing lower FA values in the above mentioned fibers. Conclusion: Our study showed that Diffusion Tensor Imaging is a very useful tool in the detection of the early microstructural changes seen in dementia even before the obvious clinical symptoms appear and hence aids in early diagnosis and treatment of the disease
