Clinical characteristics of autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease often differ clinically from sporadic disease with the onset of seizures, spasticity and myoclonus early in the disease course. Similarly imaging characteristics may also differ. We report the findings of relative hyperperfusion by Tc-99m HMPAO SPECT in the medial orbitofrontal cortex and anterior temporal lobe in four affected family members carrying a presenilin 1 mutation. SPECT of the four individuals was compared to an age-matched normal database. We speculate that the findings of relative medial orbitofrontal and anterior temporal lobe hyperperfusion may be a marker of early onset Alzheimer's disease in this family.

Small for Size Syndrome in Living Donor Liver Transplantation- Prevention and Management.
J Clin Exp Hepatol
November 2024
Institute of Liver Disease & Transplantation, Gleneagles Health City, Chennai, India.
Small-for-size syndrome is a clinical syndrome of early allograft dysfunction usually following living donor liver transplantation due to a mismatch between recipient metabolic and functional requirements and the graft's functional capacity. While graft size relative to the recipient size is the most commonly used parameter to predict risk, small-for-size syndrome is multifactorial and its development depends on a number of inter-dependant factors only some of which are modifiable. Intra-operative monitoring of portal haemodynamics and portal flow modulation is widely recommended though there is wide variation in clinical practice.

Background: Hyperperfusion syndrome (HPS) is one of the most serious complications after carotid artery stenting (CAS). Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is a noninvasive method for assessing cerebral perfusion. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of ASL compared to that of SPECT in evaluating changes in intracranial blood flow during the perioperative period of CAS.

Background And Objectives: Parkinson disease (PD) exhibits a characteristic pattern of brain perfusion or metabolism, thereby being considered network disorder. Using dual-phase -(3-fluoropropyl)-2β-carbomethoxy-3β-(4-iodophenyl) nortropane (F-FP-CIT) PET, we investigated the role of brain perfusion in motor symptoms and disease progression, independent of striatal dopamine depletion.
Methods: We recruited patients with de novo PD and healthy controls (HCs) who underwent dual-phase F-FP-CIT PET and brain MRI.

Purpose: Arterial spin labeling (ASL), a noninvasive magnetic resonance (MRI) perfusion sequence, holds promise in the presurgical evaluation of pediatric lesional epilepsy patients, including those with low-grade epilepsy-associated tumors (LEATs). The interpretation of ASL-derived perfusion patterns, however, presents challenges. Our study aims to elucidate these perfusion changes in children with LEATs, exploring their correlations with clinical, electroencephalography (EEG), and anatomical MRI findings.

Introduction: Nociplastic pain (NP), a third category of chronic pain, offers a framework for elucidating its pathophysiology and treatment strategies. One of the characteristics of NP is comorbidity of symptoms other than pain, such as psychological and cognitive problems; therefore, these can be clues to understanding NP. Recently, we reported several cases with comorbid symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
