Background Fatigue and cognitive complaints are the most frequent persistent symptoms in patients after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. This study aimed to assess fatigue neuropsychological performance investigate changes thickness volume of gray matter (GM) microstructural abnormalities white (WM) a group with mild-to-moderate disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods We studied 56 COVID-19 37 matched controls using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Cognition...
Cervical ribs are congenital variants that known to cause TOS or brachial plexopathy in up 10% of the affected individuals. We investigated how often cervical present on spine CT scans determine incidence humans and percentage reported ribs.Cervical reports 3404 consecutive adult patients were retrospectively reviewed presence whether they had been reported.Cervical found 2.0% (67/3404) population. Of 67 with ribs, 27 (40.3%) bilateral ribs. The prevalence women was twice men, 2.8% (39/1414)...
We aimed to investigate changes in olfactory bulb volume and brain network the white matter (WM) patients with persistent disfunction (OD) following COVID-19. A cross-sectional study evaluated 38 participants OD after mild COVID-19 24 controls, including Sniffin' Sticks identification test (SS-16), MoCA, magnetic resonance imaging. Network-Based Statistics (NBS) graph theoretical analysis were used explore WM. The group had reduced compared controls. In NBS, showed increased structural...
Abstract Background The Parkinson's Disease‐Cognitive Rating Scale (PD‐CRS) assesses posterior‐cortical and frontal‐subcortical cognitive functioning distinguishes mild impairment in disease (PD‐MCI); however, it was not evaluated Brazil. Objectives To investigate PD‐CRS's reliability, validity, normative data, accuracy for PD‐MCI screening Methods effects of age, education, sex on PD‐CRS scores were explored. instrument tested 714 individuals (53% female, 21–94 years), with a broad range...
Background The Parkinson’s Disease-Cognitive Rating Scale (PD-CRS) is a widely used tool for detecting mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in Disease (PD) patients, however, the neuroanatomical underpinnings of this test’s outcomes require clarification. This study aims to: (a) investigate cortical volume (CVol) and thickness (CTh) disparities between PD patients exhibiting (PD-MCI) those with preserved abilities (PD-IC); (b) identify structural correlates magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)...
Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by dopaminergic neuron degeneration, leading to motor and neuropsychological symptoms. PD clinically divided into tremor-dominant (TD) postural instability-gait disorder (PIGD) subtypes, which may differ in neuroanatomical changes. Neuroimaging explores these differences, enhancing understanding of heterogeneity. Objectives: This study examines differences between subtypes using MRI, focusing on subcortical volumes, cortical thickness,...

To evaluate the importance of computed tomography and angiography (CTA) in stroke protocols, as well their impact on endovascular treatment determination etiology.Were evaluated 28 patients with acute/hyperacute anterior circulation who underwent intracranial cervical CTA between April 2018 August 2019. The parameters were degree stenosis, plaque characteristics, type infarct, treatment, etiology, Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS).Of evaluated, 16 (57.1%) had an ASPECTS 10 (the...

The following study protocol describes the rationale and methods of a cohort with nested case-control study, which aims to identify risk factors predictors cognitive dysfunction in Parkinson's disease (PD). It is that will follow PD every 18 months comprehensive neuropsychological, clinical (motor non-motor symptoms) imaging (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) data collection. criteria for diagnosing mild impairment (MCI) dementia respect parameters previously published by International Working...
