Advances in metabolic imaging techniques have allowed for more precise characterization of gliomas, particularly as it relates to tumor recurrence or pseudoprogression. Furthermore, the emerging field of radiogenomics where radiographic features are systemically correlated with molecular markers has the potential to achieve the holy grail of neuro-oncologic neuro-radiology, namely molecular dia...

This brief review discusses the ties between the endocrine, immune and nervous systems, which support the merging of mental and physical health concepts and health care. Mental and physical health’s are dependent on multidirectional interactions of the neuroendocrine immune network. Communications among neuronal connections within the central nervous system (CNS) regulate our behaviors, cogniti...

Over the past few decades, the inextricable link between the endocrine, immune and nervous systems formed the basis of a new field, dubbed psychoneuroimmunology. In this paradigm, one system is subject to the vicissitudes of the other through several intricate feedback loops, such that conditions affecting the one have farreaching effects on the other. As such, critical illness (especially seps...

Amenorrhoea is the constant feature of Anorexia Nervosa (AN), caused by sharp metabolism reduction gonadotropines as compared with prepubertal level, but its exact mechanism unknown. Biochemical mediators, involved in this process, include cortisol, leptin, growth hormone (GH), insulin-like factor (IGF-1) and cytokines. Experimental investigation that produced fat cells, plays a role metabolic ...

Neuro-imaging is an excellent tool to provide important diagnosis on mental pathology. Magnetic resonance(MR) image is an essential data processed in the neuro-imaging. Since the MR signal is obtained by oscillating magnetic fields in a special radio frequency region, the extraction procedure of MRI relies on complicated digital signal processing. The reconstruction of 3-D volume data from raw ...

The usefulness of 1.5-T high-field intraoperative magnetic resonance (iMR) imaging during transsphenoidal surgery for functioning pituitary adenomas was retrospectively evaluated based on long-term endocrine remission from the records of 14 patients who underwent transsphenoidal surgery with iMR imaging for functioning pituitary microadenomas and small adenomas located in the intrasellar region...

The interaction between T cells and the central nervous system (CNS) in homeostasis and injury has been recognized being both pathogenic (CD4+ T-helper 1 - Th1, Th17 and γδT) and ameliorative (Th2 and regulatory T cells - Tregs). However, in-depth studies aimed to elucidate the precise in the aged microenvironment and the dichotomous role of Tregs have just begun and many aspects remain unclear...

This paper describes neuroinformatics technologies at 1 mm anatomical scale based on high-throughput 3D functional and structural imaging technologies of the human brain. The core is an abstract pipeline for converting functional and structural imagery into their high-dimensional neuroinformatic representation index containing O(1000-10,000) discriminating dimensions. The pipeline is based on a...
