Long-Term Cerebellar Consequences of Post-traumatic Brain Injury Assessed by MRI With Diffusion Tensor Imaging.

Background And Objectives: Post-traumatic brain injury (TBI) lesions, which combine brain atrophy and white matter injuries, can lead to progressive post-traumatic encephalopathy. However, the specific involvement of the cerebellum, which participates in cognitive, executive, and sensory functions, has been little studied. The aim of this work was to explore the long-term cerebellar consequences of severe TBI.

MRI volumetry and diffusion tensor imaging for diagnosis and follow-up of late post-traumatic injuries.

Background: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a major cause of acquired disability and can cause devastating and progressive post-traumatic encephalopathy. TBI is a dynamic condition that continues to evolve over time. A better understanding of the pathophysiology of these late lesions is important for the development of new therapeutic strategies.

Interchangeability between Respiratory Variations of Subclavian Vein and Pulse Pressure Variation in Ventilated Patients in the Operating Room.

Objective: For mechanically ventilated patients, the best predictors of fluid responsiveness are dynamic parameters. Many methods that reflect cardiopulmonary interactions have been proposed to evaluate the preload dependency. In this study, we describe the interchangeability between respiratory variations of the subclavian (ΔSCV) vein and pulse pressure variation (PPV) in sedated and mechanically ventilated patients benefiting from kidney transplantation.
