Hypertension is associated with reduced cerebral blood flow (CBF). Intensive (70 years with a history of systolic hypertension on 1 or no BP lowering drugs were recruited from primary care …more

The acoustic scanner noise that is generated by rapid gradient switching in echo planar imaging (EPI) is an important confounding factor in auditory fMRI. “Sparse imaging” designs overcome the influence …more

Background Two types of treatment are being used for patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms: endovascular detachable-coil treatment or craniotomy and clipping. We undertook a randomised, multicentre trial to compare these …more

This fourth and final review in the JNNP internet series summarises the essential internet resources for adult and paediatric clinical neurology, neuroradiology, and neurophysiology. This article is freely available on …more

Background and Purpose-Stroke remains primarily a clinical diagnosis, with information obtained from history and examination determining further management. We aimed to measure inter-rater reliability for the clinical assessment of stroke, …more

Aim. To investigate the interobserver reliability of brain and neck magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in older community subjects previously recruited to a case-control study of dizziness. Methods. Subjects aged over …more

Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) for determining the degree of carotid stenosis prior to carotid endarterectomy is attractive because it does not have the high morbidity associated with conventional intra-arterial angiography. …more

RATIONALE: The relationship between interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA) and exercise capacity has not been comprehensively evaluated. OBJECTIVES: To assess the validity of the 6-minute walk test in subjects with ILA, …more

PURPOSE: To compare computed tomographic (CT) angiography and magnetic resonance (MR) angiography with intraarterial digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in the detection of intracranial aneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred forty-two …more

Background and Purpose. Controlling for intracranial volume is crucial in magnetic resonance studies of changes in brain volumes, However, full intracranial volume measurement requires prolonged scanning and analysis, and simple, …more

Background: Brain size and intracranial capacity are correlated with cognitive performance in young healthy adults, but data are lacking on these relationships in older healthy adults. Objective: To test the …more

Stroke Studies were applied. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores were measured on admission, and Modified Rankin Scale (MRS) scores were assessed at 3 months for all patients …more
