Article Synopsis
  • - The study examined how MRI metrics, specifically the DTI-ALPS index and fractional anisotropy (FA), can help predict postoperative outcomes in 55 children with hydrocephalus after ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery.
  • - Results showed that children with a lower preoperative DTI-ALPS index and FA had less favorable short-term outcomes, while those with certain changes in these metrics post-surgery showed worse long-term outcomes.
  • - Using both the DTI-ALPS index and FA together provided a better prediction of outcomes compared to using them separately, enhancing the understanding of recovery in pediatric hydrocephalus cases.

Purpose: This study used the graph-theory approach, degree centrality (DC) to analyze whole-brain functional networks at the voxel level in children with ASD, and investigated whether DC changes were correlated with any clinical variables in ASD children.

Methods: The current study included 86 children with ASD and 54 matched healthy subjects Aged 2-5.5 years.

Neuroimaging studies have shown that autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) may be associated with abnormalities in brain structures and functions at rest as well as during cognitive tasks. However, it remains unclear if functional connectivity (FC) of all brain neural networks is also changed in these subjects. In this study, we acquired functional magnetic resonance imaging scans from 93 children with ASD and 79 matched healthy subjects.
