Article Synopsis
  • This study aimed to examine changes in brain activity and nerve function in patients with herpes zoster keratitis (HZK) using a technique called percent amplitude of fluctuation (PerAF).
  • Researchers recruited 40 participants, split evenly between HZK patients and healthy controls, and used resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) to analyze their neurological function.
  • Results showed that specific brain areas in HZK patients had higher or lower PerAF values compared to healthy controls, and this was linked to patients' anxiety, depression, and visual acuity, suggesting important implications for understanding the condition.

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a chronic progressive cerebrovascular abnormality characterized by chronic occlusion of large intracranial vessels with smoky vascular development at the base of the skull. In patients with MMD, abnormal spontaneous brain activity would be expected. To assess the brain activity changes in patients with MMD by resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI), using the percent amplitude of fluctuation (PerAF) analysis method.

Neovascular glaucoma (NVG) is a serious eye disease that causes irreversible damage to the eye. It can significantly increase intraocular pressure and cause severe pain, as well as abnormal activity in the cortical and pre-cortical visual systems. However, there are few studies in this area.

Aim: To explore the intrinsic brain activity variations in retinal vein occlusion (RVO) subjects by using the voxel-wise degree centrality (DC) technique.

Methods: Twenty-one subjects with RVO and twenty-one healthy controls (HCs) were enlisted and underwent the resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) examination. The spontaneous cerebrum activity variations were inspected using the DC technology.

Background: Open globe injury (OGI) is a serious condition that can lead to visual impairment and lifelong sequelae, brain activity of some brain regions would change in patients with OGI.

Purpose: To evaluate changes in brain activity associated with unilateral OGI by resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) and analysis of percentage amplitude of fluctuation (PerAF).

Material And Methods: A total of 22 patients with OGI (12 men, 10 women) and 22 healthy controls (HCs) matched for sex, age, and body weight were enrolled.
