Authors' reply-multi-organ ultrasonography: a stethoscope for the body

2018

We read with great interest the letter from Sakka et al . (1) commenting our article (2) on comprehensive haemodynamic monitoring in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and traumatic brain injury (TBI). We agree with the authors that haemodynamic monitoring has to be implemented in patients with ARDS complicating TBI.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome in traumatic brain injury: how do we manage it?

2017

Abstract: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. TBI patients frequently suffer from lung complications and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which is associated with poor clinical outcomes. Moreover, the association between TBI and ARDS in trauma patients is well recognized. Mechanical ventilation of patients with a concomitance of acute brain injury and lung injury can present significant challenges. Frequently, guidelines recommending management strategies for patients with traumatic brain injuries come into conflict with what is now considered best ventilator practice. In this review, we will explore the strategies of the best …

The impact of study design and diagnostic approach in a large multi-centre ADHD study. Part 1: ADHD symptom patterns

2011

Contains fulltext : 96439.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access) BACKGROUND: The International Multi-centre ADHD Genetics (IMAGE) project with 11 participating centres from 7 European countries and Israel has collected a large behavioural and genetic database for present and future research. Behavioural data were collected from 1068 probands with the combined type of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD-CT) and 1446 'unselected' siblings. The aim was to analyse the IMAGE sample with respect to demographic features (gender, age, family status, and recruiting centres) and psychopathological characteristics (diagnostic subtype, symptom frequencies, age at symptom detection, and com…

Altered cerebral blood flow velocity features in fibromyalgia patients in resting-state conditions

2017

[EN] The aim of this study is to characterize in resting-state conditions the cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) signals of fibromyalgia patients. The anterior and middle cerebral arteries of both hemispheres from 15 women with fibromyalgia and 15 healthy women were monitored using Transcranial Doppler (TCD) during a 5-minute eyes-closed resting period. Several signal processing methods based on time, information theory, frequency and time-frequency analyses were used in order to extract different features to characterize the CBFV signals in the different vessels. Main results indicated that, in comparison with control subjects, fibromyalgia patients showed a higher complexity of the envel…

A fully automatic approach for multimodal PET and MR image segmentation in gamma knife treatment planning

2017

The aim of this study is to combine Biological Target Volume (BTV) segmentation and Gross Target Volume (GTV) segmentation in stereotactic neurosurgery.Our goal is to enhance Clinical Target Volume (CTV) definition, including metabolic and morphologic information, for treatment planning and patient follow-up.We propose a fully automatic approach for multimodal PET and MR image segmentation. This method is based on the Random Walker (RW) and Fuzzy C-Means clustering (FCM) algorithms. A total of 19 brain metastatic tumors, undergone stereotactic neuro-radiosurgery, were retrospectively analyzed. A framework for the evaluation of multimodal PET/MRI segmentation is presented, considering volume…

229 – ERBB4 genotype effects on human brain structure

2008

Background:Disturbed functional and structural brain connectivity in schizophrenia has been shown in a large number of studies. There is evidence from several neuroimaging and post mortem studies that altered neuronal myelination may in part account for this deficit. Recent investigations have suggested that variations of the genes that encode the Neuregulin 1 (NRG1) ErbB4 receptor complex might be associated with schizophrenia illness. As NRG1 and ErbB4 have been implicated in myelination and neuronal proliferation. We investigated whether cerebral micro and macrostructure is predicted by two risk haplotypes of the ErbB4 gene. Methods: The effects of two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SN…

Theism as a Product of the Human Triune Brain

2018

Religion implies thoughts and behaviors. According to Evolutionary (Darwinian) Psychology, all human behaviors or thoughts are products of neural (or neuroendocrine) functions in conjunction with inputs that trigger these functions: No function, no behavior or thought; no input, no behavior or thought. In this book, the Author searches for the origin of theism (considered a basic feature of religion) in early humans, using data from various sciences, such as neurobiology, ethology,physical anthropology, and cognitive psychology.

Poor outcome after hypoxia-ischemia in newborns is associated with physiological abnormalities during early recovery

1999

"Secondary hypoxia/ischemia" (i.e. regional impairment of oxygen and substrate delivery) results in secondary deterioration after traumatic brain injury in adults as well as in children and infants. However, detailed analysis regarding critical physiological abnormalities resulting from hypoxia/ischemia in the immature brain, e.g. acid-base-status, serum glucose levels and brain temperature, and their influence on outcome, are only available from non-traumatic experimental models. In recent studies on hypoxic/asphyxic cardiac arrest in neonatal piglets, we were able to predict short-term outcome using specific physiologic abnormalities immediately after the insult. Severe acidosis, low seru…
