MRI remains the current gold standard imaging modality to diagnose ischemic stroke. MRI sensitivity for acute ischemic stroke detection does not always reach 100%. We report the case of a patient with ischemic stroke despite normal initial brain MRI. Normal brain MRI during the early phase of ischemic stroke raises doubt about the indication for thrombolysis which is the treatment of choice for cerebral embolism. The repetition of fine cut examination by B2000 diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) enables the early detection of small volume infarction not visualized by conventional brain MRI.

Preoperative and intraoperative neuromonitoring and mapping techniques impact oncological and functional outcomes in supratentorial function-eloquent brain tumours: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
EClinicalMedicine
February 2025
Department of Neurosurgery, King's College Hospital Foundation Trust, London, UK.
Background: Supratentorial function-eloquent brain tumour surgeries challenge the balance between maximal tumour resection and preservation of neurological function. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative and intraoperative mapping techniques on resection outcomes and post-operative deficits.
Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis examined literature up to March 2023, sourced from PubMed, Embase, and Medline.
Lanthanide-tetrazine probes for bio-imaging and click chemistry.

The blood-brain-barrier prevents many imaging agents and therapeutics from being delivered to the brain that could fight central nervous system diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and strokes. However, techniques such as the use of stapled peptides or peptide shuttles may allow payloads through, with bioconjugation achieved bio-orthogonal tetrazine/norbornene click chemistry. A series of lanthanide-tetrazine probes have been synthesised herein which could be utilised in bio-orthogonal click chemistry with peptide-based delivery systems to deliver MRI agents through the blood-brain-barrier.

Department of Radiology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, China.
Purpose: To investigate static and dynamic brain functional alterations in dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON) using resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) with the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) and regional homogeneity (ReHo).
Materials And Methods: Fifty-seven thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) patients (23 DON and 34 non-DON) and 27 healthy controls (HCs) underwent rs-fMRI scans. Static and dynamic ALFF (sALFF and dALFF) and ReHo (sReHo and dReHo) values were compared between groups.
