Evidence for direct dopaminergic connections between substantia nigra pars compacta and thalamus in young healthy humans.

Department of Advanced Medical and Surgical Sciences, Advanced MRI Research Center, University of Campania "Luigi Vanvitelli", Naples, Italy.
The substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc), one of the main dopaminergic nuclei of the brain, exerts a regulatory function on the basal ganglia circuitry via the nigro-striatal pathway but its possible dopaminergic innervation of the thalamus has been only investigated in non-human primates. The impossibility of tract-tracing studies in humans has boosted advanced MRI techniques and multi-shell high-angular resolution diffusion MRI (MS-HARDI) has promised to shed more light on the structural connectivity of subcortical structures. Here, we estimated the possible dopaminergic innervation of the human thalamus via an MS-HARDI tractography of the SNc in healthy human young adults.

December 2024
Department of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy, N.K.P. Salve Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre and Lata Mangeshkar Hospital, Nagpur, Maharashtra, India.
Background: Dermatosis papulosa nigra (DPN) presents as benign skin growths, predominantly affecting women and often commencing during adolescence. Treatment is sought due to its cosmetic impact, with available modalities often posing risks of scarring and pigmentary changes.
Materials & Methods: This study investigates the efficacy of ionized plasma jet therapy (IPJT) in ten DPN patients at a tertiary care hospital in central India.
Trochlear Morphological Changes in Skeletally Immature Patients Across Consecutive MRI Studies.
Am J Sports Med
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedics, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Background: Trochlear dysplasia is a consistent risk factor for recurrent patellofemoral instability (PFI), but there is limited understanding of how the trochlea develops during growth. The aim of this study was to evaluate serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies performed in skeletally immature patients with and without PFI to characterize changes in trochlear anatomy over time.
Hypothesis: PFI leads to progressive worsening of trochlear dysplasia over time.
Serial cerebrospinal fluid concentrations of high mobility group box 1 in bacterial meningitis: a retrospective cohort study.
BMC Infect Dis
January 2025
Department of Pediatrics, Yamaguchi University Graduate School of Medicine, 1-1-1 Minamikogushi, Ube, Yamaguchi, 755-8505, Japan.
Background: Bacterial meningitis (BM) is a life-threatening central nervous system infection with potential for severe neurological sequelae. High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is known as a late inflammatory mediator associated with lethal pathology. This study aims to investigate the serial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of HMGB1 in children with BM and its relationship to neurological prognosis.
