Role of brain perfusion SPECT with 99mTc HMPAO in the assessment of response to drug therapy in patients with autoimmune vasculitis: a prospective study [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of vasculitis in the brain remains a quite difficult achievement. To the best of our knowledge, there is no imaging method reported in literature which is capable of reaching to a diagnosis of vasculitis with very high ...

Transducer Materials Mediated Deep Brain Stimulation in Neurological Disorders

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review discusses advanced transducer materials for improving deep brain stimulation (DBS) in neurological disorders. These materials respond to light, ultrasound, or magnetic fields, enabling precise, less invasive neuromodulation. Their stimulus‐responsive properties enhance neural control and adaptive therapy, paving the way for next‐generation ...

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

Arterial Stiffness and Cerebral Small Vessel Disease

Frontiers in Neurology, 2018
Background and Objective: Studies on relations between arterial stiffness and full spectrum of radiological features of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) are scarce. We aim to investigate the association of arterial stiffness with lacunes, white matter hyperintensities (WMH), microbleeds (CMBs), dilated perivascular spaces (PVS), and brain atrophy ...

Immunomodulation With Local, Sustained Delivery of Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase Activating Polypeptide Results in Improved Functional Recovery in Stroke‐Injured Mice

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The tissue and functional benefits are demonstrated with local, sustained delivery of an anti‐inflammatory peptide, pituitary adenylate cyclase‐activating polypeptide (PACAP), for stroke treatment in a mouse model. Prolonged PACAP treatment modulated astrocyte and microglia toward pro‐reparative phenotypes, enhanced neuroprotection and preservation of ...

The spectrum of age-related small vessel diseases: potential overlap and interactions of amyloid and non-amyloid vasculopathies.

Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology, 2019
Deep perforator arteriopathy (DPA) and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) are the commonest known cerebral small vessel diseases (CSVD), which cause ischaemic stroke, intracebral haemorrhage (ICH) and vascular cognitive impairment (VCI).

Neuroimaging of Cerebral Small Vessel Disease

Brain Pathology, 2014
Neuroimaging of cerebral small vessel vascular disease is often nonspecific and the diagnosis is challenging; clinical and family history is pivotal in interpreting neuroimaging findings. Hereditary small vessel diseases have recently gained significant interest, and MRI is a sensitive tool to detect white matter abnormality.
