Anxiety and depression are common in the modern world, there is growing demand for alternative therapies such as meditation. Meditation can decrease perceived stress increase general well-being, although physiological mechanism not well-characterized. Endocannabinoids (eCBs), lipid mediators associated with enhanced mood reduced anxiety/depression, have been previously studied biomarkers of meditation effects. Our aim was to assess (eCBs brain-derived neurotrophic factor [BDNF])...
Background: Meditation is gaining recognition as a tool to impact health and well-being. Samyama an 8-day intensive residential meditation experience conducted by Isha Foundation requiring several months of extensive preparation vegan diet. The effects have not been previously studied. objective was assess physical emotional well-being before after participation evaluating psychological surveys biomarkers. Methods: This observational study 632 adults the retreat. All participants were...
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect an intensive 8-day Samyama meditation program on brain functional connectivity using resting-state MRI (rs-fMRI). Methods: Thirteen participants (meditators) and 4 controls underwent fMRI scans before after residential program. Subjects with a blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) contrast at rest during focused breathing. Changes in network were evaluated. In addition, validated psychological metrics correlated changes...
Brain herniations predominantly result from increased intracranial pressures due to various etiologies and are usually acute.Chronic medial temporal lobe [uncal parahippocampal] herniation has been rarely reported in literature.Unilateral bilateral idiopathic have even more reported.It's important diagnose herniations, as these "do not touch" lesions.In this paper we presented two cases with nonemergent herniations.Standard MRI of the brain was performed a 3T Siemens magnet standard head...
Aqueductal Web/Diaphragm (AW/D) causing stenosis is a known but un- common entity [1]. Appropriate diagnosis helps in prompt and adequate patient care. We present case report of 48 YOF who was evaluated for acute mental status changes with severe headaches. Regular CT images demonstrated obstructive hydrocephalus at the level Sylvian aqueduct. When an additional 10 minutes spent on post processing using 3D Multiple Plane Reconstruction (MPR) function McKesson PACS radiology station, it...
Craniofacial fibrous dysplasia [CF-FD] with orbital complications is a known but rare entity. This multi-modality imaging Case Report of extensive CF-FD in 31-year-old male right eye pain, swelling, and redness, along histopathology correlation. In this patient, the CT scan demonstrates classic ground glass bony appearance great detail helps diagnosis FD, while excluding other pathology. The patient’s corroborative MRI brain without contrast perfusion images are presented to further...
Enlarged Vestibular Aqueduct Syndrome (EVAS) is a known, but rare entity. It represents common cause of congenital sensorineural hearing loss, diagnosed more often in children with slight female predominance. Herein, we report case bilateral [EVAS] 26-year-old male. As it subtle finding on imaging, the interpreting radiologist must be aware this entity to make diagnosis. The diagnostic CT and MRI images patient are given along curved reconstructions plane [VA] extending endolymphatic sac...
MethodsCT head without contrast was performed in a 128 slice Somatom Edge Siemens scanner [Siemens Medical Systems, USA].Standard 1 mm axial CT soft tissue algorithm images of the brain were obtained from skull base to vertex, followed by reconstruction coronal along with bone window images.MRI 3T Spectra Malvern, Pennsylvania, USA] using standard coil.
