Purpose: To investigate structural alterations in the thalamus in patients with primary trigeminal neuralgia and provide a detailed perspective on thalamic remodeling in response to chronic pain at the level of individual thalamic nuclei. METHODS: We analyzed a sample of 62 patients with primary trigeminal neuralgia who underwent surgical treatment, along with 28 healthy participants. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data were acquired using a 3T system equipped with a 16-channel receiver head coil.

- Moyamoya disease is a rare brain condition that increases the risk of strokes, which can be life-threatening.
- Over a 4-year period, a patient was closely monitored after developing symptoms and undergoing two successful revascularization surgeries.
- The study's findings suggest that while these surgeries help prevent future strokes, they result in only slight improvements in cognitive function.
Study Design: Prospective case-control study.
Objectives: We investigated the use of the magnetization transfer saturation (MTsat) technique to assess the structural integrity of the spinal cord tracts in individuals with clinically significant degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) and associated disability.
Setting: Novosibirsk Neurosurgery Centre, Russia.
Purpose: Diffuse gliomas present a significant challenge for healthcare systems globally. While brain MRI plays a vital role in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment monitoring, accurately characterizing gliomas using conventional MRI techniques alone is challenging. In this study, we explored the potential of utilizing the amide proton transfer (APT) technique to predict tumor grade and type based on the WHO 2021 Classification of CNS Tumors.

In this study, we explored the potential of magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) for evaluating the structural integrity of spinal cord tracts in patients with clinically significant DCM.
Methods: Fifty-three patients with DCM and 41 patients with cervical radiculopathy were evaluated using high-resolution cervical spinal cord magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which included the magnetization transfer technique.
