Published: May 2009

Objective: the objective of present paper was to study the amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG) in hypoxic ischemic (HI) animal models and to test the reliability of aEEG method when used to monitor cerebral injuries.

Method: HI animal models were constructed and classified into mild, moderate and severe cerebral oxygen saturation groups according to regional oxygen saturation (rSO(2)) in brains. Then aEEG waveforms were obtained from raw EEG data using digital signal processing.

Result: aEEG reflected cerebral functions consistently and accurately at different cerebral rSO(2) levels. aEEG waveforms rarely changed in the group of mild HI; they dropped but recovered in moderate HI group; and aEEG maintained very low after HI in the cases when severe HI happened.

Conclusion: aEEG method could monitor cerebral functions directly, accurately and consistently. It is a reliable tool to continuously evaluate cerebral injuries.

Background: The pressure gradient between the ventricles and the subarachnoid space (transmantle pressure) is crucial for understanding CSF circulation and the pathogenesis of certain neurodegenerative diseases. This pressure can be approximated by the pressure difference across the aqueduct (ΔP). Currently, no dedicated platform exists for quantifying ΔP, and no research has been conducted on the impact of breathing on ΔP.

Background: Postoperative delirium (POD) is the most common neurological adverse event among elderly patients undergoing surgery. POD is associated with an increased risk for postoperative complications, long-term cognitive decline, an increase in morbidity and mortality as well as extended hospital stays. Delirium prevention and treatment options are currently limited.

Background: Awareness of the characteristics of glial fibrillary acidic protein autoantibody (GFAP-IgG) associated myelitis facilitates early diagnosis and treatment. We explored features in GFAP-IgG myelitis and compared them with those in myelitis associated with aquaporin-4 IgG (AQP4-IgG) and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein IgG (MOG-IgG).

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed data from patients with GFAP-IgG myelitis at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University and Henan Children's Hospital from May 2018 to May 2023.

Automatic segmentation of white matter lesions on multi-parametric MRI: convolutional neural network versus vision transformer.

BMC Neurol

Department of Diagnostic Radiology, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital and Chang Gung University College of Medicine, School of Medicine, College of Medicine, National Sun Yat-Sen University, No. 123 Ta-Pei Road, Niao-Sung Dist, Kaohsiung, 83305, Taiwan.

Background And Purpose: White matter hyperintensities in brain MRI are key indicators of various neurological conditions, and their accurate segmentation is essential for assessing disease progression. This study aims to evaluate the performance of a 3D convolutional neural network and a 3D Transformer-based model for white matter hyperintensities segmentation, focusing on their efficacy with limited datasets and similar computational resources.

Materials And Methods: We implemented a convolution-based model (3D ResNet-50 U-Net with spatial and channel squeeze & excitation) and a Transformer-based model (3D Swin Transformer with a convolutional stem).

Background: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) improve prognosis in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Nilotinib and ponatinib, second- and third-generation TKIs, respectively, have been reported to cause adverse vascular occlusive events such as myocardial infarction and peripheral arterial disease. However, little is known about the risk of cerebral infarction associated with severe cerebrovascular stenosis, which is a late complication of TKIs.
