Effect of Verapamil Administration on Hypoxic Human Fetal Brain after Lactate detection by 1H Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (1HMRS)
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of verapamil administration on Human Fetuses in High Risk Pregnancies (FHRP) by Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (HMRS) after Lactate identification. Two HMRS studies were performed on a 1.5 Tesla system using the body RF coil: the first one was done between 30-31 weeks of gestation and the second between 34-35 weeks after verapamil administration. The results obtained in the second HMRS study show a significant decrease in Lactate signal in FHRP compared with the first study. This reduction could be related to a more oxygen availability due to the verapamil vasodilator effect in FHRP.

Quantification of Fetal Brain Lactate with Mr Spectroscopy
Introduction. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) has been used to measure cerebral lactate levels in a range of human populations, from elderly stroke patients to pre-term neonates. Although MRS has demonstrated elevated lactate in the sheep fetal brain during hypoxic injury [1] there is little evidence of its application to the measurement of fetal cerebal lactate in humans. The aim of this...

RATIONALE Dividing cells can be detected in the live brain by positron emission tomography or optical imaging. Here we apply proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1HMRS) and a widely used spectral fitting algorithm to characterize the effect of increased neurogenesis after electroconvulsive shock in the live rodent brain via spectral signatures representing mobile lipids resonating at ∼1.30 p...

OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to determine the feasibility of detecting fetal brain lactate, a marker of fetal metabolic acidemia, using a noninvasive technique, proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((1)H MRS), in intrauterine growth-restricted (IUGR) fetuses. STUDY DESIGN In vivo human fetal brain lactate detection was determined by (1)H MRS in 5 fetuses with IUGR. Oxygenation a...
متن کاملDetection of Glioblastoma Multiforme Tumor in Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Based on Support Vector Machine
Introduction: The brain tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue in the brain, which is one of the most important challenges in neurology. Brain tumors have different types. Some brain tumors are benign and some brain tumors are cancerous and malignant. Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is the most common and deadliest malignant brain tumor in adults. The average survival rate for peo...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance spectroscopy and gliomas
In vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1HMRS) can substantially improve the non-invasive categorization of human brain tumors, especially for gliomas. It provides greater information concerning tumor activity and characterization of the tumor tissue than is possible with MRI techniques alone. Moreover, 1HMRS may ultimately prove to be a highly beneficial modality in the post-irradiatio...
