Background And Purpose: Synthetic MRI utilizes the quantitative relaxometry parameters to generate multiple contrast images through a single acquisition. We tried to explore the utility of synthetic MRI derived relaxometry parameters in evaluation of ring enhancing lesions of brain.

Materials And Methods: This was a prospective study.

Article Synopsis
  • Cortical differences in thickness, folding, and complexity may indicate changes in synaptic pruning and myelination, particularly in individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD).
  • A study compared 69 males with OUD to 25 non-drug-using controls, finding greater sulcal depth and lower gyrification index in specific brain areas associated with OUD.
  • Early initiation and longer duration of opioid use correlated with significant changes in cortical thickness, suggesting these factors may contribute to structural brain abnormalities.

NCC is responsible for around 30% of active epilepsy in endemic countries such as India. Knowing socioeconomic factors associated with NCC can help in decreasing the incidence of this disease. We intend to study socioeconomic risk factors in NCC patients and how these factors are different from patients without NCC.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated how socioeconomic status (SES) affects the choice of thrombolytic agent and patient outcomes in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) treatment, comparing alteplase and tenecteplase.
  • Data was collected from 78 AIS patients at a tertiary care center in India, revealing that higher SES patients predominantly chose alteplase, while lower SES patients favored tenecteplase.
  • Despite the differences in drug preference based on SES, no significant disparities in clinical outcomes (measured by NIHSS and mRS scores) were found among the different SES groups.
