متن کاملReal-time imaging of single nerve cell apoptosis in retinal neurodegeneration.
Apoptotic nerve cell death is implicated in the pathogenesis of several devastating neurodegenerative conditions, including glaucoma and Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. We have devised a noninvasive real-time imaging technique using confocal laser-scanning ophthalmoscopy to visualize single nerve cell apoptosis in vivo, which allows longitudinal study of disease processes that has not pre...
متن کاملBrain and Bladder
Aims of course/workshop AIMS: 1. To provide an overview of brain imaging techniques (PET, fMRI, SPECT and fNIRS) and methodological approaches (e.g. bladder filling using infusion/withdrawal protocol) to study brain-bladder control. 2. Review functional brain anatomy (e.g. regions/centres) of normal and impaired bladder control and effect of clinical interventions: micturition and storage urgen...
متن کاملMaterials and Metabolites of Kynureinine Pathway in Neurodegenerative Diseases and Multiple Sclerosis
Abstract Background & aim: Kynurenine pathway (KP) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative disorders. In neurodegenerative diseases (NDD) such as Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), Huntington's disease (HD) and Multiple sclerosis (MS), brain neurons are initially involved and gradually disappear. In the present review article, the ...
