Brain White Matter Shape Changes in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS): A Fractal Dimension Study
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal progressive neurodegenerative disorder. Current diagnosis time is about 12-months due to lack of objective methods. Previous brain white matter voxel based morphometry (VBM) studies in ALS reported inconsistent results. Fractal dimension (FD) has successfully been used to quantify brain WM shape complexity in various neurological disorders and agin...
متن کاملPathological Assessment of Brain White Matter in Relapsing-Remitting MS Patients using Quantitative Magnetization Transfer Imaging
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by lesions in the white matter (WM) of the central nervous system. Magnetic resonance imaging is the most specific and sensitive method for diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. However, the ability of conventional MRI to show histopathologic heterogeneity of MS lesions is insufficient. Quantitative magnetization transfer imaging (qMTI) is a rel...
متن کاملPatterns of cerebral and cerebellar white matter degeneration in ALS
INTRODUCTION The identification of a core spatial pattern of white matter pathology in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is essential for the development of MRI-based diagnostic protocols. However, the description of disease-defining white matter changes is confounded by the genetic, neuropsychological and clinical heterogeneity of ALS. Over 50 diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) papers have been ...
متن کاملAstrocytic TGF-β1: detrimental factor in ALS
Glial cells, named after the Greek word meaning “glue”, have long been regarded just as the supporting actors in neuroscience. However, the recent research revealed their active roles in neurodegenerative diseases including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), an adult, fatal motor neuron disease. Using ALS model mouse overexpressing ALScausing mutation of SOD1 (Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase) gene...
متن کاملAge-Related White Matter Changes
Age-related white matter changes (WMC) are considered manifestation of arteriolosclerotic small vessel disease and are related to age and vascular risk factors. Most recent studies have shown that WMC are associated with a host of poor outcomes, including cognitive impairment, dementia, urinary incontinence, gait disturbances, depression, and increased risk of stroke and death. Although the cli...
