Deep Learning Building on Prior Ischemic Core Segmentation Improves Prediction of Infarction After Stroke

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Elisabeth Anne Dirren, Guillaume Paul Olivier Leclerc, Maria Giulia Preti

Introduction: Imaging studies are used to guide patient selection for acute stroke treatment. Perfusion CT (pCT) is widely used to identify the acute ischemic core and penumbra, but the prediction of the final infarct remains challenging. With the advent o ...

Integrating regional perfusion CT information to improve prediction of infarction after stroke

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Elisabeth Anne Dirren, Maria Giulia Preti

Physiological evidence suggests that neighboring brain regions have similar perfusion characteristics (vascular supply, collateral blood flow). It is largely unknown whether integrating perfusion CT (pCT) information from the area surrounding a given voxel ...

Evolution of the neurochemical profiles in the G93A-SOD1 mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider, Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei, Carole Poitry-Yamate, Elisabeth Anne Dirren

In vivo (1)H magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((1)H-MRS) investigations of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) mouse brain may provide neurochemical profiles and alterations in association with ALS disease progression. We aimed to longitudinally follow neur ...

SOD1 silencing in motoneurons or glia rescues neuromuscular function in ALS mice

Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider, Cylia Cloé Rochat, Christopher Towne, Julianne Bobela, Elisabeth Anne Dirren

Objective: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is an incurable disorder mainly characterized by motoneuron degeneration. Mutations in the superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) gene account for 20% of familial forms of the disease. Mutant SOD1 exerts multiple pathogenic ...

Intracerebroventricular Injection of Adeno-Associated Virus 6 and 9 Vectors for Cell Type-Specific Transgene Expression in the Spinal Cord

Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider, Christopher Towne, Veronica Setola, Elisabeth Anne Dirren

In the context of motoneuron diseases, gene delivery as an experimental or therapeutic approach is hindered by the challenge to specifically target cell populations that are widely distributed along the spinal cord. Further complicating the task, transgene ...

Astrocyte–neuron co-culture on microchips based on the model of SOD mutation to mimic ALS

Patrick Aebischer, Philippe Renaud, Sylvain Eric Lengacher, Pierre Magistretti, Anja Kunze, Elisabeth Anne Dirren

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common motor neuron disease. ALS is believed to be a non-cell autonomous condition, as other cell types, including astrocytes, have been implicated in disease pathogenesis. Hence, to facilitate the developmen ...
