  • The study aimed to evaluate intrauterine MRI findings in fetuses suspected of having congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) and link these findings to final diagnoses and clinical outcomes.
  • A retrospective analysis included 29 singleton fetuses referred for iuMRI from 2010 to 2018, with confirmed cCMV defined by positive PCR tests.
  • Findings revealed that polymicrogyria in fetuses with cCMV, which was not detected via prenatal ultrasound, was linked to cerebral palsy, while germinolytic cysts were often related to mitochondrial disorders rather than cCMV.

Background And Objective: Pilot trials have suggested that pharmacotherapy may aid stroke recovery. The aim of this study was to systematically review the effects of antidepressants, anti-Alzheimer drugs, anti-Parkinson drugs, central nervous system (CNS) stimulants and piracetam on gross motor function, cognition, disability, dependency and quality of life (QOL) after stroke.
