Diffusion tensor imaging of brain white matter in Huntington gene mutation individuals

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 75 (8), 2017
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the role of the involvement of white matter tracts in huntingtin gene mutation patients as a potential biomarker of the progression of the disease. Methods We evaluated 34 participants (11 symptomatic huntingtin gene mutation, 12 presymptomatic huntingtin gene mutation,...

Usefulness of diffusion tensor imaging in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: potential biomarker and association with the cognitive profile

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 75 (5), 2017
ABSTRACT The objective of this preliminary study was to correlate diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) alterations with the cognitive profile of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Methods This was a case-control study conducted from December 1, 2012 to December 1, 2014. Clinical and demograph...

Neurological outcomes after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for cerebral X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, late onset metachromatic leukodystrophy and Hurler syndrome

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 74 (12), 2016
ABSTRACT Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the only available treatment for the neurological involvement of disorders such as late-onset metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), mucopolysaccharidosis type I-Hurler (MPS-IH), and X-linked cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy (CALD). Objective To desc...

Correlation of computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and clinical outcome in acute carbon monoxide poisoning

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 66 (5), 2016
Abstract Background and objectives: Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas for humans and is still a silent killer in both developed and developing countries. The aim of this case series was to evaluate early radiological images as a predictor of subsequent neuropsychological sequelae, following carbon monoxide...

Neurobiological underpinnings of bipolar disorder focusing on findings of diffusion tensor imaging: a systematic review

Objective: To review the available data on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) of subjects with bipolar disorder (BD), with a particular focus on fractional anisotropy (FA) in white matter (WM) tracts. Methods: The PubMed/MEDLINE database was searched for relevant articles, which were included in a systemati...
