Background: Clinical brain MRI scans, including contrast-enhanced (CE-MR) images, represent an underutilized resource for neuroscience research due to technical heterogeneity.
Purpose: To evaluate the reliability of morphometric measurements from CE-MR scans compared to non-contrast MR (NC-MR) scans in normal individuals.
Methods: T1-weighted CE-MR and NC-MR scans from 59 normal participants (aged 21-73 years) were compared using CAT12 and SynthSeg + segmentation tools.
Aims: This study explored the prospective use of the Ages and Stages Questionnaires-3 in follow-up after cardiac surgery.
Materials And Method: For children undergoing cardiac surgery at 5 United Kingdom centres, the Ages and Stages Questionnaires-3 were administered 6 months and 2 years later, with an outcome based on pre-defined cut-points: Red = 1 or more domain scores >2 standard deviations below the normative mean, Amber = 1 or more domain scores 1-2 standard deviations below the normal range based on the manual, Green = scores within the normal range based on the manual.
Results: From a cohort of 554 children <60 months old at surgery, 306 participated in the postoperative assessment: 117 (38.
Introduction: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) rarely presents with dizziness as the primary complaint, which can delay diagnosis. We report a rare case of dizziness as the chief complaint for a clot-in-transit and extensive bilateral pulmonary emboli.
Case Description: A 70-year-old woman presented to the emergency room (ER) with dizziness and a fall, without reporting loss of consciousness.
Background: Critical care of patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) with acute brain injury (ABI) is notable for a lack of high-quality clinical evidence. Here, we offer guidelines for neurological care (neurological monitoring and management) of adults during and after ECMO support.
Methods: These guidelines are based on clinical practice consensus recommendations and scientific statements.
Article Synopsis
- "Myxedema heart" is a rare syndrome caused by severe untreated hypothyroidism, leading to conditions such as bradycardia and cardiomyopathy.
- A case study details a 49-year-old male presenting with cognitive issues, bradycardia, and confirmed Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which resulted in cardiac tamponade due to a large pericardial effusion.
- Treatment included thyroid hormone replacement and a pericardial drain, leading to gradual improvement in the patient's condition and highlighting the importance of early diagnosis in those with limited healthcare access.
