Diffusion tensor imaging is a widely used method of brain white matter, but it prone to artifacts. The data corrections can affect the measured values.To explore impact susceptibility correction on diffusion metrics.A cohort 27 healthy adolescents (18 boys, 9 girls, mean age 12.7 years) underwent 3-T MRI, and we collected two sets (anterior-posterior). were processed both with without artifact correction. We derived fractional anisotropy, diffusivity histogram fiber length distribution from...
BackgroundFine motor and coordination problems are frequently reported among adolescents born preterm. We aimed to assess performance in hand tasks compare concurrent brain activation between very preterm at term 13 years.MethodsA total of 34 right-handed (gestational age less than 32 weeks/birth weight ≤1500 grams) 37 controls during 2003 2006 Turku University Hospital, Finland, were recruited. At years, finger opposition diadochokinesis assessed, functional magnetic resonance imaging data...
Retention is essential in follow-up studies to reduce missing data, which can cause bias and limit the generalizability of results. We investigated whether pre-notification letters would increase response rates approval forms questionnaires need for post-notifications a prospective study 17-year-old adolescents.and settings This long-term included 269 adolescents were randomized (1:1) into group (n = 132) no 137). The letter was sent prior form questionnaires. outcome measures rate...
Abstract Background Preterm infants have a risk of health and developmental problems emerging after discharge. This indicates the need for comprehensive follow-up to enable early identification these problems. In this paper, we introduce tool “ePIPARI – web-based preterm infants”. Our future aim is investigate whether ePIPARI feasible in it can identify children parents clinical interventions. Methods includes eight assessment points (at term age at 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 18, 24 months corrected...
