Volumetría de fascículos cerebrales en población sana

Rev. argent. radiol; 83 (3), 2019
Objetivo Desde la aparición de la tractografía, al tratarse de una técnica no invasiva y que usa la ampliamente conocida resonancia magnética (RM), el estudio de la sustancia blanca se ha facilitado. A partir de eso, se han logrado grandes descubrimientos en cuanto a fascículos cerebrales involucrad...

Clinical features and corneal optical anisotropies in a rabbit model of limbal stem cell deficiency

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 81 (5), 2018
ABSTRACT Purposes: To investigate the intra-laboratory reproducibility of clinical features and to evaluate corneal optical anisotropies in a rabbit model of limbal stem cell deficiency. Methods: Limbal injury was induced in the right eye of 23 adult New Zealand White rabbits using a highly aggressive ...

Current contribution of diffusion tensor imaging in the evaluation of diffuse axonal injury

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 76 (3), 2018
ABSTRACT Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the number one cause of death and morbidity among young adults. Moreover, survivors are frequently left with functional disabilities during the most productive years of their lives. One main aspect of TBI pathology is diffuse axonal injury, which is increasingly r...

Latent class analysis of attention and white matter correlation in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (11), 2018
This study aimed to explore attentional patterns among children with inattentive attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD-I) and children with typical development (TD), using a latent class analysis (LCA). Patterns of brain connectivity were also explored. The sample comprised 29 ADHD-I and 29 TD m...

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,...

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...

Distribuição de tensões em um modelo tridimensional de canino e pré-molares superiores sob diferentes carregamentos oclusais: análise pelo método de elementos finitos

O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar, por meio do Método de Elementos Finitos, a distribuição de tensões na estrutura dentária, no ligamento periodontal (LP) e no osso alveolar em um modelo tridimensional do canino (23), primeiro (24) e segundo pré-molares superiores (25) submetidos à ação de ca...

Assessment of the diagnostic value of diffusion tensor imaging in patients with spinal cord compression: a meta-analysis

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 49 (1), 2016
We investigated the diagnostic value of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and fractional anisotropy (FA) of magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in patients with spinal cord compression (SCC) using a meta-analysis framework. Multiple scientific literature databases were exhaustively s...

Propagación de onda en un tejido cardiaco 3D usando dos modelos auriculares

Rev. colomb. cardiol; 20 (4), 2013
Objetivo: evaluar el grado de predictibilidad entre dos modelos de electrofisiología celular para aurícula humana, analizando las propiedades, a nivel tisular, de la duración del potencial de acción (APD) y velocidad de conducción (CV) en un tejido en tres dimensiones incorporando el direccionamient...
