Objectives: This paper explored and analyzed the effect of 5A nursing intervention on living quality and self-care efficacy of patients undergoing postoperative chemotherapy after hepatocellular carcinoma surgery.
Methods: A total of 97 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma hospitalized from March 2017 to June 2019 were chosen as subjects and separated to the control group (n=47) and observation group (n=50) based on the admission time. The control-group received a conventional nursing care mode, and the observation-group was given the 5A nursing care mode in addition to the conventional care mode in the control group.
Objective: To explore the changes in the concentrations of neural markers immediately or several months after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).
Methods: The metabolic markers of neurons in white matter tissues above the lateral ventricle were semi-quantitatively determined by employing 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopic technique (1-H-MRS) in 30 clinically diagnosed cases of mTBI. At the same time, the neurological functions of the subjects, including ability to pay attention, memory, working memory and operational capacity etc were also assessed.
High-resolution MRI of cranial nerves in posterior fossa at 3.0 T.
Asian Pac J Trop Med
February 2013
Objective: To evaluate the influence of high-resolution imaging obtainable with the higher field strength of 3.0 T on the visualization of the brain nerves in the posterior fossa.
Methods: In total, 20 nerves were investigated on MRI of 12 volunteers each and selected for comparison, respectively, with the FSE sequences with 5 mm and 2 mm section thicknesses and gradient recalled echo (GRE) sequences acquired with a 3.
Objective: To evaluate the anatomical characteristics and patterns of neurovascular compression in patients suffering trigeminal neuralgia, using 3D high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging methods and fusion technologies.
Methods: The analysis of the anatomy of the facial nerve, brain stem and the vascular structures related to this nerve was made in 100 consecutive patients for TN. 3D high resolution MRI studies (3D SPGR, T1 enhanced 3D MP-RAGE and T2/T1 3D FIESTA) simultaneous visualization were used to assessed using the software 3D DOCTOR.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare phase-sensitive magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with magnitude reconstruction for detecting heart tissue damage after a heart attack.
- It involved 20 patients who underwent MR imaging after receiving a contrast agent, testing various timing intervals (TI) to optimize image quality.
- Results showed that phase-sensitive imaging provided better detection of damaged heart areas, especially at shorter TI values, with less requirement for precise timing, leading to more reliable image quality.
Objective: Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) patterns of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) relying on PSIR (phase-sensitive inversion recovery sequence) techniques had been used to determine the characteristics of LGE in apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (ApHCM).
Methods: Forty patients pure ApHCM [age, (60.2±10.
Article Synopsis
- The objective of the study was to identify structural abnormalities in trigeminal nerves caused by neurovascular compression using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).
- The study involved examining trigeminal nerves in 20 patients with trigeminal neuralgia and 10 normal controls using advanced imaging techniques to measure changes in nerve structure.
- Results indicated that the affected trigeminal nerve showed lower fractional anisotropy and higher apparent diffusion coefficient, suggesting significant morphological changes associated with trigeminal neuralgia, making DTI a useful diagnostic tool.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the anatomical features and patterns of neurovascular compression (NVC) in patients with trigeminal neuralgia (TN) using advanced 3D high-resolution MRI imaging techniques.
- Researchers examined 100 TN patients, discovering that 93% had NVC sites near the brain stem, predominantly involving the superior cerebellar artery and other vessels.
- The findings highlight the effectiveness of 3D MRI methods in diagnosing and understanding the anatomical causes of TN, potentially guiding treatment strategies.
