Brain microbleed is a marker of small vessel microhemorrhagic or microaneurysmal lesions, which may induce intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). This study to prospectively evaluated the association between microbleeds, hematoma and perihematomal edema volume, and various clinical data, as well as patient outcome. Thirty-one patients with ICH and 31 healthy age-matched subjects were enrolled in our s...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Validation of the Boston criteria for the in vivo diagnosis of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is challenging, because noninvasive diagnostic tests do not exist. Hereditary cerebral hemorrhage with amyloidosis-Dutch type is an accepted monogenetic model of CAA and diagnosis can be made with certainty based on DNA analysis. The aim of this study was to analyze and refine...

Objectives: To mathematically model the oscillatory behaviour of Basal Ganglia for Parkinson’s disease as well to simulate by using Cell designer and Scilab. Method: The pathway Parkinsons was downloaded from KEGG database studied scilab programming cell tool. In this work, loaded designer, that is working on basis systems biology mark-up language, analysed entire pathway. Findings: oscillary b...

Figure 2. Gadolinium-enhanced MRI sequence showing ring-enhancing lesions within the basal ganglia (arrow). Figure 1. Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery MRI sequence demonstrating vasogenic and cytotoxic edema in the bilateral basal ganglia (arrows). Diagnosis: Isolated cerebral mucormycosis of the basal ganglia. Brain biopsy tissue was obtained by stereotactic biopsy of the right basal gangli...

Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is defined as bleeding within the intracranial vault and has several subtypes depending on the anatomic location of bleeding. ICH is diagnosed through history, physical examination, and, most commonly, noncontrast CT examination of the brain, which discloses the anatomic bleeding location. Trauma is a common cause. In the absence of trauma, spontaneous intraparench...

Introduction: Addiction imposes a large medical, social and economic burden on societies. Currently, there is no effective treatment for addiction. Our struggle to decipher the different mechanisms involved in addiction requires a proper understanding of the brain regions which promote this devastating behavior. Previous studies have shown a pivotal role for insula in cigarette smoking. In this...
