Neonatal MRI to predict neurodevelopmental outcomes in preterm infants

Article Abstract:

A prospective longitudinal study of very preterm infants is performed to examine the associations between qualitatively defined cerebral white matter and gray matter abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at term equivalent and neurodevelopmental outcomes at two years of age. The abnormal findings on MRI at term equivalent in very preterm infants have predicted adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes at two years of age, which have suggested a role for MRI at term equivalent in risk stratification for these infants.

Optic neuritis

Article Abstract:

The case history of a patient suffering from optic neuritis, which is a condition involving primary inflammation of the optic nerve, is presented, which occurs when the patient suffers from multiple sclerosis. Such patients should undergo a MRI of the brain to determine the development of multiple sclerosis and if it is so, treatment through medication to reduce this risk should be considered since accurate diagnosis and management is very necessary for proper treatment.

A parkinsonian syndrome in methcathinone users and the role of manganese

Article Abstract:

A study to determine the effect on patients following administration of intravenous methcathinone is conducted. Results reveal that patients manifested a parkinsonian syndrome due to the effects of methcathinone raising incidence of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) besides elevated levels of blood manganese causing a neurological disorder.
