There is limited information regarding the effects of spaceflight on anatomical configuration brain and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) spaces.We used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to compare images 18 astronauts' brains before after missions long duration, involving stays International Space Station, 16 short participation in Shuttle Program. Images were interpreted by readers who unaware flight duration. We also generated paired preflight postflight MRI cine clips derived from...
<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> While there have been recent reports of brain retention gadolinium following gadolinium-based contrast agent administration in adults, a retrospective series pediatric patients has not previously reported, to our knowledge. We investigated the relationship between number prior doses and increasing T1 signal dentate nucleus on unenhanced T1-weighted MR imaging. hypothesized that despite differences physiology smaller are typically administered based...
Abstract Although established adult smokers with long histories of nicotine dependence have lower neural tissue volume than non‐smokers, it is not clear if regional brain also observed in younger, less smokers. The primary goal this study was to investigate a large group and secondary measuring the impact age on these effects. We used voxel‐based morphometry compare gray matter 118 individuals (59 smokers, 59 age‐ gender‐matched non‐smokers). Younger had significantly left thalamus amygdala...
<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> Following long-term spaceflight, a subset of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration astronauts present with visual impairment increased intracranial pressure, known as pressure syndrome. We investigated structural brain changes following head-down tilt bed rest spaceflight analog. <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> Volumetric analysis was performed on pre- post–bed MR images. <h3>RESULTS:</h3> Comparing to pre–bed images, we found following: 1) no...
Mental rotation is a visuospatial task associated with pronounced sex differences. Performance also affected by gonadal hormones such as testosterone and estradiol. To better understand hormonal modulation of the neural substrates mental rotation, present study examined influence estradiol using functional MRI. Ten premenopausal women were tested on 3D during early follicular late phases menstrual cycle. Change in between two was confirmed hormone assays. Brain activation patterns similar...
Abstract The degree to which face-specific brain regions are specialized for different kinds of perceptual processing is debated. This study parametrically varied demands on featural, first-order configural, or second-order configural faces and houses in a matching task determine the extent process differentiation was selective regardless type (domain-specific account), specific types category (process-specific engaged category-optimized (i.e., face featural house processing), reflected...
We manipulated the degree of structural similarity between objects that had to be matched either according whether they represented same object (perceptual matching) or belonged category (conceptual matching). Behaviorally, performance improved as a linear function increased during conceptual matching but deteriorated perceptual matching. These effects were mirrored in fMRI recordings where activation several ventral posterior areas exhibited similar interaction match type and similarity....
Abstract Introduction Face processing undergoes significant developmental change with age. Two kinds of changes in face specialization were examined this study: specialized maturation, or the continued tuning a region to faces but little other categories; and competitive interactions, accompanied by decreased nonfaces (i.e., pruning). Methods Using fMRI, regions where adults showed preference, face‐ object‐specialization index computed for younger children (5–8 years), older (9–12 years)...
In this paper, we generalize the direct method of lines for linear elasticity problems composite materials in star-shaped domains and consider its application to inverse problems.We assume that boundary domain can be described by an explicit C 1 parametric curve polar coordinate.We introduce curvilinear coordinate, which irregular is converted a regular semi-infinite strip.The equations are discretized with respect angular variable solve resulting semidiscrete approximation analytically...
The goal of this study was to conduct a preliminary network analysis (using graph-theory measures) intrinsic functional connectivity in adult smokers, with an exploration sex differences smokers. Twenty-seven smokers (13 males; mean age = 35) and 17 age-matched controls (11 completed blood oxygen level-dependent resting state magnetic resonance imaging experiment. Data involved preprocessing, creation matrices using partial correlation, computation measures the Brain Connectivity Toolbox....
This study examined the neural basis of processing high- and low-message sensation value (MSV) antidrug public service announcements (PSAs) in high (HSS) low seekers (LSS) using fMRI. HSS more strongly engaged salience network when PSAs (versus LSS), suggesting that high-MSV attracted their attention. LSS participants who higher level cognitive regions reported were convincing believable recalled better immediately after testing. In contrast, visual attention for viewing lower personal...
Objective To identify the incidence and risk factors for upper extremity lymphedema within 2 years after surgery in patients with breast cancer. Methods A follow-up study was performed among 157 who newly received surgical treatment Norman questionnaire circumference measurement were used to evaluate volume of limb before at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 months treatment. The calculated. Based on results measurement, log-rank test Cox regression analyze lymphedema. Results A total 141...
