Case report: Bilateral globus pallidus lesions and delayed progressive leukoencephalopathy in Covid-19: Effects of hypoxia alone or combination of hypoxia and inflammation?, 2023, Ahmad A. Ballout et al Background: The globus pallidus is a highly mitochondria-rich metabolic structure that is...

CHICAGO — Using a special type of MRI, researchers have uncovered brain changes in patients up to six months after they recovered from COVID-19, according to a study being presented next week at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). About one in five adults...

Abstract Background Brain 18F-FDG PET imaging has the potential to provide an objective assessment of brain involvement in post-COVID-19 conditions but previous studies of heterogeneous patient series yield inconsistent results. The current study aimed to investigate brain 18F-FDG PET findings...

Full title: Multimodal MRI of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome: A cross-sectional neuroimaging study toward its neuropathophysiology and diagnosis Introduction: Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), is a debilitating illness affecting up to 24 million...

Women ages 18-55 who have symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome needed for study The Neuroinflammation, Pain, and Fatigue Lab is looking for women ages 18-55 who have symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, ME/CFS, for a 1.5-hour brain imaging study. We will obtain magnetic resonance images, MRI...

Abstract Introduction: Functional movement disorder (FMD) is a type of functional neurological disorder (FND) characterized by abnormal movements that patients do not perceive as self-generated. Prior imaging studies show a complex pattern of altered activity, linking regions of the brain...

Abstract Post-acute sequelae of COVID-19, commonly known as long-COVID, is defined as a persistent symptom(s) that is unexplainable by alternative diagnosis and lasts beyond three months after the onset of COVID-19. Several studies have now identified long-COVID in >50% of COVID-19 patients...

Abstract Background Among systemic abnormalities caused by the novel coronavirus, little is known about the critical attack on the central nervous system (CNS). Few studies have shown cerebrovascular pathologies that indicate CNS involvement in acute patients. However, replication studies are...

Abstract Background This multicentre study aimed to provide a qualitative and consensual description of brain hypometabolism observed through the visual analysis of 18F-FDG PET images of patients with suspected neurological long COVID, regarding the previously reported long-COVID hypometabolic...

Abstract Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is an illness characterized by a diverse range of debilitating symptoms including autonomic, immunologic, and cognitive dysfunction. Although neurological and cognitive aberrations have been consistently reported, relatively...

Cortical autonomic network connectivity predicts symptoms in myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) IntJPsychophysiol 2021 Oct 15; Online ahead of print. Authors. Mark A Zinn, Leonard A Jason. Abstract Myalgic encephalomyelitis and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS)...

Abstract Rationale Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a common and burdensome illness with a poorly understood pathophysiology, though many of the characteristic symptoms are likely to be of brain origin. The use of high-field proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) enables the detection of...

Abstract Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) patients suffer from a variety of physical and neurological complaints indicating the central nervous system plays a role in ME/CFS pathophysiology. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has been used to study microstructural changes...

Full title: The mapping of cortical activation by near-infrared spectroscopy might be a biomarker related to the severity of fibromyalgia symptoms Abstract The delta value of oxyhemoglobin (Δ-HbO) determined by functional near-infrared spectroscopy at prefrontal cortex (PFC) and motor cortex...
