White Matter Matters: A Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study with Clinical Correlates in Primary Brain Calcification

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Primary brain calcification (PBC) is a genetic disease featuring movement disorders, cognitive impairment, and/or psychiatric symptoms. Computed tomography (CT) scan identifies brain calcification but poorly correlates with patients' clinical phenotype; the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is yet undefined.

Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. Case Presentation

Medisur, 2017
Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, also known as Adult Chronic Hydrocephalus is usually produced in elder people due to an increase of cerebrospinal fluid in brain cavities, in general without an increase of intracranial pressure, but which can damage the ...

Cognitive Profile of Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus

Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra, 2011
Background/Aims: Frontal lobe dysfunction is believed to be a primary cognitive symptom in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH); however, the neuropsychology of this disorder remains to be fully investigated. The objective of this study was to

Differential Progression of Neuroinflammation in Patients with Isolated Rapid‐Eye‐Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Neuroinflammation, measured using [11C](R)‐PK11195 positron emission tomography (PET), has been reported in isolated rapid‐eye‐movement sleep behavior disorder (iRBD), but its temporal progression is unknown. Objective The aim was to assess longitudinal progression of neuroinflammation in iRBD patients and its relationship with ...

Simultaneous Assessment of Intracranial Artery and Paravascular CSF Pulsation Using 3D Whole‐Brain Diffusion‐Prepared Cine bSSFP (DECAF) MRI

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To propose a noninvasive and quantitative MRI approach to simultaneously assessing intracranial artery pulsation and paravascular cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pulsation in the human brain. Methods We developed a 3D whole‐brain Diffusion‐prepared Cine bSSFP (DECAF) MRI technique, with improved motion‐sensitized driven‐equilibrium providing
