Volume changes can be measured either directly by water-displacement volumetry or by various indirect methods in which calculation of the volume is based on circumference measurements. The aim of the present study was to determine the most appropriate indirect method for lower leg volume calculation using water displacement volumetry as a 'golden standard'. For 20 male volunteers, age range: 20...

AIMS The aim of our study was to define the optimal geometric model for two-dimensional volumetry of the right ventricle and its clinical validation. METHODS AND RESULTS It has been shown in previous reports that an ellipsoidal shell model best reflects the complex right ventricular geometry. We investigated 82 patients without tricuspid regurgitation and intracardiac shunt. Measurements of r...

Aim: Migraine, a complex, multifactorial neurovascular brain disorder, might cause several functional and morphometric changes in the brain. Despite many studies, consensus has not emerged on its pathophysiology, it is fully elucidated so far. Recently, changing structures migraine with aura been attracting attention of scientific periphery. The brainstem critical region pathogenesis migraine. ...

OBJECTIVES It has been shown that atrophy of medial temporal lobe structures such as the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex shown on MRI may distinguish patients with Alzheimer's disease from healthy controls. However, the diagnostic value of visual inspection and volumetry of medial temporal lobe atrophy (MTA) on MRI in a clinical setting is insufficiently known. METHODS Medial temporal lobe ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The atrophy of the caudate is considered the hallmark of HD-associated neurodegeneration and has high potential as a biomarker in structural MR imaging. This study aimed at comparing automated and manual caudate volumetry. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this cross-sectional volumetric study in 40 patients with HD and 30 healthy controls, a fully automated caudate measurement ...

QUESTION Does Kinesio Taping reduce swelling in athletes who have suffered an acute, lateral ankle sprain? DESIGN Randomised controlled trial with concealed allocation, intention-to-treat analysis and blinded assessment. PARTICIPANTS Thirty-six athletes who participated regularly in one of seven different sports modalities and suffered an acute ankle sprain. INTERVENTION The experimental ...
