Purpose: To determine if ocular blood flow (OBF) changes in retinal detachment (RD) are related with its characteristics (extension, macular involvement, PVR or duration).
Methods: 60 patients with unilateral rhegmatogenous RD and 20 <
Results: Peak systolic (PS) and end diastolic (ED) velocities of OA, PS of CRA and PS and ED of PCA were decreased in the RD eyes compared to the normal ones (p<0.05). The PS and ED rates of OA and PS of CRA were also decreased (p<0.05) in the other eyes compared to the normal ones. Both the decrease in velocity and in the IOP were related with 2 or more quadrants of RD (p<0.05), macula detachment (p<0.05), PVR >/=C(2) (p<0.05) and duration of >/=15 days (p<0.05).
Conclusion: RD correlates with decreased ocular blood flow velocities and IOP in both the RD as well as in the other eye. The worse the characteristics of the RD, the lower the velocities and the IOP

Hyperpolarized-C magnetic resonance imaging (HP-C MRI) was used to image changes in C-lactate signal during a visual stimulus condition in comparison to an eyes-closed control condition. Whole-brain C-pyruvate, C-lactate and C-bicarbonate production was imaged in healthy volunteers (N = 6, ages 24-33) for the two conditions using two separate hyperpolarized C-pyruvate injections. BOLD-fMRI scans were used to delineate regions of functional activation.

Therapeutic drug development for central nervous system injuries, such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), presents significant challenges. TBI results in primary mechanical damage followed by secondary injury, leading to cognitive dysfunction and memory loss. Our recent study demonstrated the potential of carbon monoxide-releasing molecules (CORMs) to improve TBI recovery by enhancing neurogenesis.

Current metabolomics technologies can measure hundreds of chemical entities in tissue extracts with good reliability. However, long-recognized requirements to halt enzyme activities during the initial moments of sample preparation are usually overlooked, allowing marked postmortem shifts in levels of labile metabolites representing diverse pathways. In brain many such changes occur in a matter of seconds.

To what extent sildenafil, a selective inhibitor of the type-5 phosphodiesterase modulates systemic redox status and cerebrovascular function during acute exposure to hypoxia remains unknown. To address this, 12 healthy males (aged 24 ± 3 y) participated in a randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study involving exposure to both normoxia and acute (60 min) hypoxia (Fi = 0.14), followed by oral administration of 50 mg sildenafil and placebo (double-blinded).

A potential two-way passage of cells and substances between the brain and skull bone marrow may open for new insights into neurological disease. The arachnoid membrane was traditionally considered to restrict cells and larger molecules in CSF from entering the dura and bone marrow directly. However, new data on exchange between brain and skull bone marrow have recently emerged.
