Histone Deacetylase 6 Brain PET in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis‐Frontotemporal Spectrum Disorder

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective [18F]EKZ‐001 is a positron emission tomography (PET) tracer targeting histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6), an enzyme responsible for intracellular transport and clearance of misfolded proteins. HDAC6 modulation is a promising treatment strategy in neurodegenerative disorders, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Optimizing transcutaneous spinal stimulation: excitability of evoked spinal reflexes is dependent on electrode montage

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation
Background There is growing interest in use of transcutaneous spinal stimulation (TSS) for people with neurologic conditions both to augment volitional control (by facilitating motoneuron excitability), and to decrease spasticity (by activating ...

Multiclass Spinal Cord Tumor Segmentation on MRI with Deep Learning [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Spinal cord tumors lead to neurological morbidity and mortality. Being able to obtain morphometric quantification (size, location, growth rate) of the tumor, edema, and cavity can result in improved monitoring and treatment planning. Such quantification requires the segmentation of these structures into three separate classes.

Analysis of current density and related parameters in spinal cord stimulation [PDF]

, 1998
A volume conductor model of the spinal cord and surrounding anatomical structures is used to calculate current (and current density) charge per pulse, and maximum charge density per pulse at the contact surface of the electrode in the dorsal epidural ...

Brain Characteristics in Patients With Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Antibody‐Associated Disorder by 7.0 Tesla MRI

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody‐associated disease (MOGAD) can radiographically mimic multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). The disease hallmarks cortical lesion, central vein sign (CVS) and paramagnetic rim lesions identified in MS have not yet been comprehensively investigated in ...

SARS‐CoV‐2 Is Linked to Brain Volume Loss in Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The impact of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection on brain and spinal cord pathology in patients with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) remains unclear. We aimed to describe changes in brain lesion activity and brain and spinal cord volumes following SARS‐CoV‐2 infection.

The Overlooked Outcome Measure for Spinal Cord Injury: Use of Assistive Devices

Frontiers in Neurology, 2019
Although several outcome measures are used to assess various areas of interest regarding spinal cord injuries (SCIs), little is known about the frequency of their use, and the ways in which they transform shared knowledge into implemented practices ...

Automatic Segmentation of the Spinal Cord Nerve Rootlets [PDF]

Imaging Neuroscience, 2 (2024) 1-14
Precise identification of spinal nerve rootlets is relevant to delineate spinal levels for the study of functional activity in the spinal cord. The goal of this study was to develop an automatic method for the semantic segmentation of spinal nerve rootlets from T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Images from two open-access MRI datasets

Microdialysis to optimize cord perfusion and drug delivery in spinal cord injury. [PDF]

, 2016
OBJECTIVE: There is lack of monitoring from the injury site to guide management of patients with acute traumatic spinal cord injury. Here we describe a bedside microdialysis monitoring technique for optimizing spinal cord perfusion and drug delivery at ...
