Chagas Disease: Still Many Unsolved Issues
Over the past 20 years, the immune effector mechanisms involved in the control of Trypanosoma cruzi, as well as the receptors participating in parasite recognition by cells of the innate immune system, have been largely described. However, the main questions on the physiopathology of Chagas disease remain unanswered: "Why does the host immune system fail to provide sterile immunity?" and "Why d...
متن کاملSpecial Issues in Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Functional magnetic resonance neuroimaging is a technique which can be used to perform similar brain activation studies to PET, although non-invasively, but it can also provide additional information to that available from PET. The study of brain activity using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) poses an additional set of problems, both from an acquisition and processing standpoint, t...
متن کاملIssues pertaining to PET imaging of liver cancer
Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging using 2-deoxy-2-[F-18]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) has proven valuable in the diagnosis, staging and restaging for many cancers. However, its application for liver cancer has remained limited owing in part to the relatively high background uptake of the tracer in the liver plus the significant variability of the tumor specific uptake in liver cancer among pa...
متن کاملAutomatic, unsupervised classification of dyskinesia in patients with Parkinsons Disease
One of the characteristic symptoms of patients with Parkinson Disease (PD) is a rigidity of movement. These symptoms disappear after administration of Levodopa. However, the long-term use of levodopa causes involuntary movements (dyskinesia). A proper diagnosis requires an automatic, unsupervised method for the detection and classification of levodopa induced dyskinesia. The main problem, howev...
