Introduction: Alterations in cholinergic function have been reported to be associated with dementia. The aim of this study was to investigate differences in the distribution of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) …more
Background and Purpose. Magnetic resonance (MR) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has been used extensively in hyperacute cortical ischemic stroke, but its broader role in the assessment of patients presenting at later …more
BACKGROUND: Care within a stroke unit reduces death or dependency after stroke. However, studies have found significant variations in clinical practice, access to stroke unit care, organisation of patient care, …more
Incidental findings found in “healthy” volunteers during research imaging are common and have important implications for study design and performance, particularly in the areas of informed consent, subjects’ rights, clinical …more
Objective To quantify the prevalence of incidental findings on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. Design Systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies. Data sources Ovid Medline (1950 to …more
Objectives: Incidental findings in neuroimaging occur in 3% of volunteers. Most data come from young subjects. Data on their occurrence in older subjects and their medical, lifestyle and financial consequences …more
Treatment of either the mu-alkyne complex [Mo2Cp2(mu-SMe)(3)(mu-PhCCH)](BF4) (1) or the mu-vinylidene derivatives [Mo2Cp2(mu-Sme)(3)(mu-eta(1):eta(2)-(CCHR)](BF4) (2) (R = Ph, Tol, nPr, C(CH3)=CH2) with NaN3 in ethanol at room temperature readily afforded mu-tetrazolate …more
Lesions of the occipital cortex result in areas of cortical blindness affecting the corresponding regions of the patient’s visual field. The traditional view is that, aside from some spontaneous recovery …more
Background and Purpose-Long-term daily aspirin is of benefit in the years alter ischemic stroke, and 2 large randomized trials (the Chinese Acute Stroke Trial [CAST] and the International Stroke Trial …more
We report the fabrication and characterization of an ultraviolet (370 nm) emitting AlInGaN-based micro-light-emitting diode (micro-LED) array integrated with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor control electronics. This configuration allows an 8 x 8 …more
Purpose of review Inflammation is implicated in ischaemic stroke as a general cardiovascular risk factor, a possible immediate trigger, a component (and possible exacerbating factor) of the response to tissue …more
