Article Synopsis
- After recovering from acute COVID-19, around 5% of individuals experience prolonged depressive symptoms and cognitive impairments known as COVID-DC, with a focus on the role of astrogliosis in this condition.
- A study was conducted comparing 21 COVID-DC patients and 21 healthy controls, measuring specific indicators of astrogliosis and cognitive/depressive symptoms using PET scans and standardized tests.
- Results indicated higher levels of MAO-B density in key brain areas for COVID-DC patients compared to controls, suggesting potential protective effects of astrogliosis, especially noted since the emergence of the omicron variant.
Background: Acute headache may be the primary symptom of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Recent guidelines suggest that non-contrast computed tomography (CT) is adequate to exclude aneurysmal SAH if performed within 6 h after symptom onset. However, most studies of acute headache including CT, lumbar puncture and SAH are multicenter studies from referral hospitals with highly selected patient populations.

In this review, we discuss how AI can assist in brain tumour imaging, focusing on machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques. We describe how AI can help in lesion detection, differential diagnosis, anatomic segmentation, molecular marker identification, prognostication, and pseudo-progression evaluation.
