Rapid and differential losses of in vivo dopamine transporter (DAT) and vesicular monoamine transporter (VMAT2) radioligand binding in MPTP-treated mice
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2000-03-15)
The dose- and time-dependent changes of in vivo radioligand binding to the neuronal membrane dopamine transporter (DAT) and vesicular monoamine transporter type 2 (VMAT2) were examined in mouse brain after MPTP ...
MR spectroscopy in the evaluation of recurrent contrast-enhancing lesions in the posterior fossa after tumor treatment
(Springer-Verlag, 2004-07)
Recurrent contrast-enhancing lesions arising within foci of prior brain neoplasms treated with chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy pose a significant diagnostic dilemma, as they may represent recurrent or residual tumor, ...
Massive symptomatic subependymoma of the lateral ventricles: case report and review of the literature
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-03)
Subependymomas are benign intraventricular tumors with an indolent growth pattern, which are usually asymptomatic, and most commonly occur in the fourth and lateral ventricles. When symptomatic, subependymomas often obstruct ...
Unique foreign body injury: bamboo penetration of thigh and pelvis while skiing
(Springer-Verlag; ASER, 2002-10)
We present a case of traumatic bamboo foreign body penetration through the posterior thigh extending cephalad into the pelvis sustained during skiing. The unsuspected bamboo foreign body was missed prospectively on the ...
Sodium Methohexital (Brevital) as an Anesthetic in the Wada Test
(Blackwell Science Inc, 2002-09)
Purposes: We report our experience with sodium methohexital (Brevital) as an anesthetic used in the Wada test for language and memory in 86 epilepsy surgery patients (173 procedures). Methods: The methods are compared ...
Protein synthesis in the amygdala, but not the auditory thalamus, is required for consolidation of Pavlovian fear conditioning in rats
(2003-12)
The amygdala is an essential neural substrate for Pavlovian fear conditioning. Nevertheless, long-term synaptic plasticity in amygdaloid afferents, such as the auditory thalamus, may contribute to the formation of fear ...
Application of selective saturation to image the dynamics of arterial blood flow during brain activation using magnetic resonance imaging
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006)
A saturation-based approach is proposed to image the arterial blood flow signal with temporal resolution of 1 to 2 s and in-plane spatial resolution of a few millimeters. Using a saturation approach to suppress the undesired ...
In Vivo Evaluation of Vena Caval Filters: Can Function Be Linked to Design Characteristics?
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag New York Inc., 2000-11)
Purpose: To compare the five vena caval filters marketed in the United States and one investigational vena caval filter and to determine whether there is an association between their design and their in vivo function.
Myofibromatosis: imaging characteristics
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-04)
Background : Infantile myofibromatosis is the most common fibrous tumor of infancy. It can involve the skin, muscle, bone, and viscera. This uncommon entity is subdivided into solitary and multicentric forms, with or without ...
Binding of [ 3 H]mazindol to cardiac norepinephrine transporters: kinetic and equilibrium studies
(Springer-Verlag, 2004-07)
The norepinephrine transporter (NET) is the carrier that drives the neuronal norepinephrine uptake mechanism (uptake 1 ) in mammalian hearts. The radioligand [ 3 H]mazindol binds with high affinity to NET. In this study, ...
