Sleep deprivation has been shown to have an antidepressant benefit in a subgroup of depressed patients. Functional imaging studies by the authors and others suggested that patients with elevated metabolic rates anterior cingulate gyrus at baseline are more likely respond either sleep or medications than normal rates. The extend their earlier work larger group explore additional brain areas statistical probability mapping.Thirty-six unipolar depression 26 volunteers were studied positron...
This study reports the first paired measurements of glucose metabolism and size thalamic regions in never-medicated schizophrenic patients using coregistered magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) templates.Positron emission tomography with [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose matching MRI scans were obtained 20 schizophrenia 15 normal volunteers. Methods for edge finding, statistical testing shape differences chi-square maps, localization major subregions developed.Patients showed a diminished metabolic rate...
POSITRON emission tomography using 6-FDOPA as a marker of presynaptic dopaminergic activity was used to investigate the role dopamine system in stuttering. Three patients with moderate severe developmental stuttering were compared six normal controls. Stuttering subjects showed significantly higher uptake than controls medial pre-frontal cortex, deep orbital insular extended amygdala, auditory cortex and caudate tail. Elevated ventral limbic cortical subcortical regions is compatible...
The cortical-striatal-thalamic circuit modulates cognitive processing and thus may be involved in the dysfunction schizophrenia. imaging of metabolic rate structures making up this could reveal correlates schizophrenia its main symptoms.Seventy male schizophrenic patients underwent [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography after a period at least 4 weeks during which they had not received neuroleptic medication were compared to 30 age-matched normal comparison subjects.Analyses...
The outbreak of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) has caused a global health crisis. Nevertheless, no antiviral treatment yet been proven effective for treating COVID‐19 and symptomatic supportive cares have the most common treatment. Therefore, present study was designed to evaluate effects propolis Hyoscyamus niger L. extract in patients with COVID‐19. This randomized clinical trial conducted on 50 cases referred Akhavan Sepehri Clinics, Kashan university medical sciences, Iran. Subjects...
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Viral infections are significant contributors to infertility. This study aimed determine the prevalence of Herpes Simplex Virus 1 2 (HSV‐1/HSV‐2) cytomegalovirus (CMV) in men with infertility, compared a control group fertile men. Methods A cross‐sectional was conducted seminal fluid samples from 100 infertile men, aged 20–40 years, referred Yazd Infertility Center. DNA extraction done using AmpliSens kit, presence CMV HSV‐1/HSV‐2 determined via real‐time PCR....
Abstract Sequential albumin‐Gd‐DTPA and Gd‐DTPA dynamic enhancement studies were performed in an animal tumor model for the comparison of regional vascularity permeability parameters measured by these two different sizes contrast agents. The early arises from vascular compartment, averaged signal derived first 3 to 6 images postinjection can be reliably used assess vascularity. intensity during period 5‐10 min post‐albumin‐Gd‐DTPA injection shows a steady linear variation. intercept...
The incubation period of COVID-19 symptoms, along with the proliferation and high transmission rate SARS-CoV-2 virus, is cause an uncontrolled epidemic worldwide. Vaccination front line prevention, antiinflammatory antiviral drugs are treatment this disease. In addition, some herbal therapy approaches can be a good way to deal aim study was evaluate effect propolis syrup Hyoscyamus niger L. extract in hospitalized patients acute disease conditions double-blinded approach. performed on 140...
This study investigated the relationship between regional glucose metabolism with intellectual impairment in patients Parkinson's disease using statistical parametric mapping. Regional cerebral [18F]deoxyglucose (FDG) PET scans were performed on 10 disease. We used score from UPDRS. analyzed SPM96. Patients showed significant positive correlations left limbic structures such as cingulate gyrus, parahippocampal and medial frontal gyrus. negative associative neocortical posterior bilateral...
Thymocyte selection-associated high mobility group box protein (TOX) and members of the nuclear receptor 4A (NR4A) are known as transcription factors involved in T cell exhaustion.
