Brain imaging of locomotion in neurological conditions
Publication date: Available online 25 October 2018Source: Neurophysiologie CliniqueAuthor(s): Gilles Allali, Helena M. Blumen, Hervé Devanne, Elvira Pirondini, Arnaud Delval, Dimitri Van De VilleSummaryImpaired locomotion is a frequent and major source of disability in patients with neurological conditions. Different neuroimaging methods have been used to understand the brain substrates of locomotion in various neurological diseases (mainly in Parkinson's disease) during actual walking, and while resting (using mental imagery of gait, or brain-behavior correlation analyses). These studies, using structural (i.e., MRI) or ...

Crossed cerebellar diaschisis in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease evaluated through single photon emission computed tomography
Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) is the most common form of human prion disease; it is characterized as a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy. Previously, only two case reports have discussed crossed cerebellar diaschisis (CCD) and sCJD. Herein, we detected CCD in five patients with sCJD and four patients with genetic CJD through SPECT. The combined data of the nine patients further supported CCD when analyzed by 3D-SSP. CCD can occur in several disorders, including, stroke, epilepsy, and encephalitis.

Super-early images of brain perfusion SPECT using 123 I-IMP for the assessment of hyperperfusion in stroke patients
ConclusionsThe addition of super-early imaging to the conventional early imaging aids assessment of postischemic hyperperfusion by123I-IMP brain perfusion SPECT and may contribute to management of stroke patients in the era of reperfusion therapy.

Effect of pre-surgery assessments on the prognosis of patients received extracranial-intracranial bypass surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that a defined compensatory stage of cerebral ischemia might be useful for the prognosis of patients receiving EI-CI bypass surgery. PMID: 30010157 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Rhenium and technetium complexes of thioamide derivatives of pyridylhydrazine that bind to amyloid- β plaques.
Rhenium and technetium complexes of thioamide derivatives of pyridylhydrazine that bind to amyloid-β plaques. J Biol Inorg Chem. 2018 Jul 07;: Authors: Fletcher SP, Noor A, Hickey JL, McLean CA, White JM, Donnelly PS Abstract Age-associated deposition of amyloid-β in cerebral blood vessels, a condition referred to as cerebral amyloid angiopathy, can contribute to stroke and dementia. This research aimed to design new radioactive technetium-99 m complexes that bind to amyloid-β plaques that have the potential to assist in diagnosis of cerebral amyloid angiopathy using single-photon-emitted computed...

Detection of Apoptosis with 99mTc rh Annexin-V 128 Imaging in Asymptomatic Patients with Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaque
Conclusions: 99mTc-rhAnnexin V-128 imaging is safe with no observed adverse events or lab result changes. 99mTc-rhAnnexin V-128 imaging of apoptosis is feasible with excellent image quality at one and 2 hours following tracer injection. Significant focal uptake was identified in 1/12 patients and none of the 5 controls. Quantitative analysis of the planar images showed significantly greater uptake of annexin in patients compared to controls for both carotid arteries and at one and two hours.

PET imaging of ischemic brain stroke necrosis with novel agent 18F-Fluoroglucaric Acid
Conclusions: Results show that FGA has a potential to enable extremely sensitive and high resolution neuroimaging of brain infarcts. F-18-labeled FGA can be rapidly synthesized from ubiquitously available F-18-FDG in a simple reaction.

Rates of Referral to Coronary Angiography After Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI)
Conclusions: About 1 in 5 patients undergoing PET MPI are referred for coronary angiography within 90 days of testing, a rate greater than that reported for SPECT MPI, likely due to higher baseline risk of patients undergoing PET MPI testing. While referral rates for coronary angiography varied based on the presence or absence of prior documented clinical CAD and presence of test abnormalities, nearly 36% of patients with moderate-severe ischemia were not referred. Further work is needed to characterize why such patients are not referred for invasive evaluation to optimize the use of PET MPI in this high-risk population.

Imaging of Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption by Tc-99m-Tilmanocept Molecular Imaging of a Rodent Model of Traumatic Brain Injury
Conclusions: These results are consistent with the hypothesis that microglial cells bearing CD206 trap fluorescent-labeled Tc-99m-tilmanocept in regions of BBB disruption. This provides the motivation for a clinical trial of intra-venously administered Tc-99m-tilmanocept with the goal of developing a SPECT/CT protocol for the detection of neuro-inflammation.

Coronary artery bypass surgery in patients with chronic brain hypoperfusion.
CONCLUSIONS: CABG can be performed at an acceptable risk in patients with brain hypoperfusion. However, these patients suffered high stroke incidence during the follow-up. It is therefore, important to identify those patients preoperatively to plan and implement an appropriate treatment regime. PMID: 29616518 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Immunoadsorption in a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy. The first case in Hungary.
Abstract Dilated cardiomyopathy is the main cause of heart transplantation. The etiology is unknown in almost half of the cases. Many cardiac specific antibodies have been identified till now which can cause decreased cardiac function, ventricular tachycardia or sudden heart death. The prognosis of DCM is poor despite the development of medical treatment. Immunoadsorption is hopeful since, with the removal of antibodies, cardiac function and NYHA class can improve and LVAD/heart transplantation-free survival can be prolonged. At the University of Debrecen, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine, Divi...
