Congenital heart disease does not entail an increased risk for severe COVID‐19
Abstract Aim To analyse the risk of developing serious disease or death due to COVID‐19 among patients who underwent heart surgery during childhood. Methods A retrospective combined register and patient file study. We identified all individuals who had undergone surgery for congenital heart disease in childhood between 1994 and 2019 in our Local ...

Design of a sustainable pre-polarizing magnetic resonance imaging system for infant hydrocephalus [PDF]
The need for affordable and appropriate medical technologies for developing countries continue to rise as challenges such as inadequate energy supply, limited technical expertise and poor infrastructure persists. Low-field MRI is a technology that can be tailored to meet specific imaging needs within such countries.

MR diffusion changes in the perimeter of the lateral ventricles demonstrate periventricular injury in post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus of prematurity [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: Injury to the preterm lateral ventricular perimeter (LVP), which contains the neural stem cells responsible for brain development, may contribute to the neurological sequelae of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and post-hemorrhagic ...

Automated Segmentation of CT Scans for Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus [PDF]
Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) is one of the few reversible forms of dementia, Due to their low cost and versatility, Computed Tomography (CT) scans have long been used as an aid to help diagnose intracerebral anomalies such as NPH. However, no well-defined and effective protocol currently exists for the analysis of CT scan-based ventricular ...

The Genetic Basis of Hydrocephalus.
Studies of syndromic hydrocephalus have led to the identification of >100 causative genes. Even though this work has illuminated numerous pathways associated with hydrocephalus, it has also highlighted the fact that the genetics underlying this phenotype
