INTRODUCTION: Magnetic Resonance Imaging’s (MRI) of the spine in pediatric population often require extended scan times and anesthesia to maximize compliance. Previous studies have demonstrated that fast-sequence brain MRIs are efficacious, efficient, present minimal risk patients. However, data on their use setting spinal pathology this is lacking. METHODS: All administered patients 2023 at our institution were assessed. Indications length minutes retrospectively recorded. To assess effects...
Dysregulation of dopamine neurotransmission has been linked to the development human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND). To investigate mechanisms underlying this phenomenon, study used an inducible HIV-1 transactivator transcription (Tat) transgenic (iTat-tg) mouse model, which demonstrates brain-specific Tat expression induced by administration doxycycline. We found that induction in iTat-tg mice for either 7 or 14 days resulted a decrease (∼30%) Vmax...
Background and Purpose Outcomes following mechanical thrombectomy (MT) are strongly correlated with successful recanalization, traditionally defined as modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (mTICI) ≥2b. This retrospective cohort study aimed to compare the outcomes of patients low Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS; 2–5) who achieved mTICI 2b versus those 2c/3 after MT.Methods utilized data from Thrombectomy Aneurysm Registry (STAR), which combined...
This study aimed to compare outcomes of low Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) patients with stroke who underwent mechanical thrombectomy (MT) within 6 hours or 24 after onset.
Dysregulation of dopaminergic transmission induced by the HIV-1 transactivator transcription (Tat) has been implicated as a central factor in development associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND). We have demonstrated that tyrosine470 residue human dopamine transporter (hDAT) plays critical role Tat-hDAT interaction. Based on computational modeling predictions, present study sought to examine mutational effects tyrosine467 norepinephrine (hNET), corresponding hDAT tyrosine470, Tat-induced...
CASE REPORT A 12-year-old boy with a medical history of constipation presented 6 months’ hematochezia and 3 weeks’ headaches, diarrhea, fatigue, dizziness, unsteady gait. Initial workup was significant for pancytopenia (white blood cell count: 3.4 K/cumm, hemoglobin: 5.9 gm/dL, platelet 117 K/cumm) elevated inflammatory marker (erythrocyte sedimentation rate: 51 mm/h) normal coagulation profile. Head computed tomography scan normal. Abdominal ultrasound revealed 2 cystic lesions within the...
This case report presents a rare complication of hepatic cystic echinococcosis in 12-year-old Latino male, residing nonendemic region, who developed long-term sequelae portal vein thrombosis accompanied by the emergence hyper-vascular sigmoid colon mass. Portal involvement is exceedingly uncommon, with limited documented cases. The presentation patient included intermittent hematochezia, abdominal pain, and fatigue. Imaging revealed liver cysts chronic cavernous transformation, resulting...
Definitive diagnosis of Craniosynostosis (CS) with computed tomography (CT) is readily available, however, exposure to ionizing radiation often a hard stop for parents and practitioners. Lowering head CT helps mitigate risks improves diagnostic utilization. The purpose the study quantify from in patients CS using ‘new’ (ultra-low dose) protocol; compare prior standard summarize published reports on cumulative doses pediatric scans utilizing other low-dose protocols. A retrospective was...

Endovascular treatment (EVT) of small anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysms accompanies a high risk intraprocedural rupture (IR) because anatomic location and aneurysm orientation. In this study, we aimed to investigate the safety efficacy EVT for ACoA in contemporary cohort.ACoA treated at Medical University South Carolina between April 2012 March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Periprocedural baseline characteristics, size, clinical radiological outcomes collected. Aneurysms...
