Alterations in the Levels of Growth Factors in Adolescents with Major Depressive Disorder: A Longitudinal Study during the Treatment with Fluoxetine

Major depressive disorder (MDD) has a prevalence of 5% in adolescents. Several studies have described the association between the inflammatory response and MDD, but little is known about the relationship between MDD and growth factors, such as IL-7, IL-9, IL-17A, VEGF, basic FGF, G-CSF, and GM-CSF. It must be appointed that there are scarce reports on growth factors in adolescents with MDD and even fewer with a clinical follow-up. In this work, we evaluated the levels of growth factors (IL-7, IL-9,...

Cross-modal plasticity in adult single-sided deafness revealed by alpha band resting-state functional connectivity

Publication date: Available online 19 November 2019Source: NeuroImageAuthor(s): Yingying Shang, Leighton B. Hinkley, Chang Cai, Danielle Mizuiri, Steven W. Cheung, Srikantan S. NagarajanAbstractSingle-sided deafness (SSD) or profound unilateral hearing loss is the condition where the transfer of acoustic information to the brain is restricted to one ear. SSD impairment is most evident under adverse acoustic environments with overlapping interference, which burdens cognitive resources. It is known...

Perfusion Quantification of Liver Metastases of Colorectal Cancer Treated with Anti-angiogenic-Based Therapy: Assessment of Intra- and Inter-observer Reproducibility of Parameters in Three Regions of Interest Outlining Lesions

Publication date: Available online 18 November 2019Source: Ultrasound in Medicine & BiologyAuthor(s): Paul-Armand Dujardin, Julie Léger, Thierry Lecomte, Frédéric Patat, Guillaume Chassagnon, Aurore BleuzenAbstractThis study evaluated the reproducibility of dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound (DCEUS) parameters outlining liver metastases of colorectal cancer in 45 patients, before and after anti-angiogenic-based therapy. Tumor enhancement was quantified by drawing three regions of interest (ROIs):...

Subdural hemorrhage rebleeding in abused children: frequency, associations and clinical presentation

Abstract Background Limited documentation exists about how frequently radiologically visible rebleeding occurs with abusive subdural hemorrhages (SDH). Likewise, little is known about rebleeding predispositions and associated symptoms. Objective To describe the frequency of subdural rebleeding after abusive head trauma (AHT), its predispositions...
