Unlabelled: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the development of secondary cerebral ischemia (SCI), intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) after traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Methods: 89 patients with severe TBI with ICP monitoring were studied retrospectively. The mean age was 36.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates differences in white and grey matter structures in young males at ultra-high risk of psychosis compared to healthy controls using advanced imaging techniques.* -
  • Findings revealed increased radial diffusivity in certain white matter tracts and reduced cortical thickness in various brain regions among UHR subjects, suggesting potential structural abnormalities.* -
  • The researchers concluded that these alterations in brain connectivity and anatomy may contribute to the cognitive and social functioning deficits observed in individuals at risk for developing psychosis.*

Background: The profile of cortical neuroanatomical abnormalities in schizophrenia is not fully understood, despite hundreds of published structural brain imaging studies. This study presents the first meta-analysis of cortical thickness and surface area abnormalities in schizophrenia conducted by the ENIGMA (Enhancing Neuro Imaging Genetics through Meta Analysis) Schizophrenia Working Group.

Methods: The study included data from 4474 individuals with schizophrenia (mean age, 32.

Objectives: Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) is a novel imaging modality that enables virtual optical biopsy in vivo. Loss of barrier function of the small bowel observed via pCLE as increased density of epithelial gaps (extrusion zones left in the intestinal lining after cells are shed) is predictive of relapse in adult patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study aims to determine whether such observations on pCLE are similarly predictive of disease relapse in pediatric patients with IBD.
