We report the case of a 19-year-old man with syncope and dynamic obstructive shock caused by a large right-sided intracardiac tumor. (<b>Level of Difficulty:</b> <b>Beginner</b> <b>.</b>). |
2,329,564 | A Case of Lateral Ventricular Subependymoma with Intratumoral Hemorrhage <i>via</i> Neuroendoscopic Surgery. | Subependymoma (SE) is a rare, usually asymptomatic, brain tumor predominantly affecting older adults and occurring in the fourth and lateral ventricles. We report a rare case of SE with intratumoral hemorrhage that could be removed by neuroendoscopy. The 81-year-old patient had been followed as an outpatient for 10 yea... |
2,329,565 | Effects of stereotactic aspiration on brainstem hemorrhage in a case series. | Brainstem hemorrhage is usually treated conservatively with medication and has high mortality and morbidity rates. Stereotactic aspiration can directly and microinvasively draw out the hemorrhage within a narrow space in the brainstem, thus promoting quick recovery and potentially saving the life of the patient. This s... |

2,329,567 | Utility of surgical tumor resection for normal-pressure hydrocephalus associated with spinal schwannoma in the cauda equina: A case report and review of the literature. | Generally, schwannoma increases the concentration of protein in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and causes normal-pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) due to absorption disorders of CSF. Cases of NPH caused by spinal schwannoma in the cauda equina are very rare. Here, we report a case of spinal schwannoma-related NPH in the cauda eq... |
2,329,568 | Choroid plexus volume in multiple sclerosis predicts expansion of chronic lesions and brain atrophy. | Recent studies suggested that the expansion of long-standing multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions and an enlargement of choroid plexus may be linked to chronic inflammation and microglial activation. We investigated the potential association between plexus volume and subsequent lesion expansion in patients with relapsing-re... |
2,329,569 | Silica crystals activate toll-like receptors and inflammasomes to promote local and systemic immune responses in zebrafish. | Silica crystals are potent activators of the inflammasome that cause a fibrotic lung disease, called silicosis, with no effective treatment available. We report here that injection of silica crystals into the hindbrain ventricle of zebrafish embryos led to the initiation of local and systemic immune responses driven th... |
2,329,570 | Domain generalization in deep learning for contrast-enhanced imaging. | The domain generalization problem has been widely investigated in deep learning for non-contrast imaging over the last years, but it received limited attention for contrast-enhanced imaging. However, there are marked differences in contrast imaging protocols across clinical centers, in particular in the time between co... |
2,329,571 | Venous Collagenosis as Pathogenesis of White Matter Hyperintensity. | Periventricular white matter hyperintensities (pvWMHs) are commonly observed on MRI in older individuals and are associated with cognitive and motor decline. The etiology of pvWMH remains unknown. Venous collagenosis has been implicated, which may also interfere with perivascular fluid flow leading to dilation of periv... |
2,329,572 | Brain atlas for glycoprotein hormone receptors at single-transcript level. | There is increasing evidence that anterior pituitary hormones, traditionally thought to have unitary functions in regulating single endocrine targets, act on multiple somatic tissues, such as bone, fat, and liver. There is also emerging evidence for anterior pituitary hormone action on brain receptors in mediating cent... |
2,329,573 | Applications of diffusion tensor imaging integrated with neuronavigation to prevent visual damage during tumor resection in the optic radiation area. | Intracranial tumors involving the temporo-occipital lobe often compress or destroy the optic radiation (OpR), resulting in decreased visual function. The aim of this study is to explore the value of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) tractography integrated with neuronavigation to prevent visual damage when resecting tumor... |
2,329,574 | Severe Hydrocephalus due to Obstructive Basilar Dolichoectasia of the Third Ventricle. | Vertebro-basilar dolichoectasia (VBD) is a rare pathology of unknown aetiology.
