Early Increase in Blood-Brain Barrier Permeability in a Murine Model Exposed to Fifteen Days of Intermittent Hypoxia.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by intermittent repeated episodes of hypoxia-reoxygenation. OSA is associated with cerebrovascular consequences. An enhanced blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability has been proposed as a marker of those disorders.

Humoral immunity to SARS-CoV-2 and seasonal coronaviruses in children and adults in north-eastern France.

Background: Children are underrepresented in the COVID-19 pandemic and often experience milder disease than adolescents and adults. Reduced severity is possibly due to recent and more frequent seasonal human coronaviruses (HCoV) infections. We assessed the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 and seasonal HCoV specific antibodies in a large cohort in north-eastern France.

White matter tracts involved by deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus in Parkinson's disease: a connectivity study based on preoperative diffusion tensor imaging tractography.

To depict the specific brain networks that are modulated by deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in Parkinson's disease (PD), using diffusion tensor imaging-based fibre tractography (DTI-FT). Nine patients who received bilateral STN-DBS for PD were included. Electrodes were localized by co-registering preoperative magnetic resonance imaging and postoperative computed tomography.
