Sub-micrometer morphology of human atherosclerotic plaque revealed by synchrotron radiation-based mu CT-A comparison with histology

Goran Lovric, Anne Bonnin

Histology is a long standing and well-established gold standard for pathological characterizations. In recent years however, synchrotron radiation-based micro-computed tomography (SR mu CT) has become a tool for extending the imaging of two-dimensional thi ...

Early motor skill acquisition in healthy older adults: functional MRI and connectome correlates

Manon Chloé Durand-Ruel

decrement have been proposed, such as weakened acquisition of the motor skill. While the processes at play during the initial acquisition phase have been well-characterized in young adults, they were only scarcely investigated in older adults. The goal of ...

Predicting future myocardial infarction from angiographies with deep learning

Pascal Frossard, Emmanuel Abbé, Ortal Yona Senouf, Olivier Muller, Ntorina Thanou, Thabodhan Mahendiran, Omar Raita, Stéphane Fournier, David Meier, Nicolas Dayer, Farhang Aminfar

In patients with stable Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), the identification of lesions which will be responsible of a myocardial infarction (MI) during follow-up remains a daily challenge. In this work, we propose to predict culprit stenosis by applying a de ...

Association of Heart Rate Variability With Silent Brain Infarcts in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Vincent Schlageter

Purpose: Silent brain infarcts (SBI) are frequently detected in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), but it is unknown whether SBI are linked to autonomic dysfunction. We aimed to explore the association of autonomic dysfunction with SBI in AF patients. ...

Combining Optogenetic Stimulation and Motor Training Improves Functional Recovery and Perilesional Cortical Activity

Silvestro Micera, Maria Pasquini, Francesco Saverio Pavone

Background. An ischemic stroke is followed by the remapping of motor representation and extensive changes in cortical excitability involving both hemispheres. Although stimulation of the ipsilesional motor cortex, especially when paired with motor training ...

Clinical value of assessing motor performance in postacute stroke patients

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Fabien Massé

Background Rehabilitative treatment plans after stroke are based on clinical examinations of functional capacity and patient-reported outcomes. Objective information about daily life performance is usually not available, but it may improve therapy personal ...

Diversity of Reactive Astrogliosis in CNS Pathology: Heterogeneity or Plasticity?

Jordan Squair

Astrocytes are essential for the development and homeostatic maintenance of the central nervous system (CNS). They are also critical players in the CNS injury response during which they undergo a process referred to as "reactive astrogliosis." Diversity in ...

Movement-Related Cortical Potentials in Embodied Virtual Mirror Visual Feedback

Gangadhar Garipelli, Tamara Rossy

Background: Mirror therapy is thought to drive interhemispheric communication, resulting in a balanced activation. We hypothesized that embodied virtual mirror visual feedback (VR-MVF) presented on a computer screen may produce a similar activation. In thi ...

Heart Rate Variability Triangular Index as a Predictor of Cardiovascular Mortality in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Vincent Schlageter

Background Impaired heart rate variability (HRV) is associated with increased mortality in sinus rhythm. However, HRV has not been systematically assessed in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We hypothesized that parameters of HRV may be predictive o ...

Metabolic fingerprints discriminating severity of acute ischemia using in vivo high-field H-1 magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Mario Gaetano Lepore, Hongxia Lei, Lara Buscemi Estefanell

Despite the improving imaging techniques, it remains challenging to produce magnetic resonance (MR) imaging fingerprints depicting severity of acute ischemia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of the overall high-field H-1 MR Spectroscopy ...

Renal tubular arginase-2 participates in the formation of the corticomedullary urea gradient and attenuates kidney damage in ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice

Dmitri Firsov, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Jean-Luc Barras, Nicolas Dattner

Aim Arginase 2 (ARG2) is a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyses hydrolysis ofl-arginine into urea andl-ornithine. In the kidney, ARG2 is localized to the S3 segment of the proximal tubule. It has been shown that expression and activity of this enzyme are up ...
