64. Experimental Study on Cerebral Paragonimiasis

Hemorrhagic stroke and cerebral paragonimiasis.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and imaging characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment outcomes of 10 patients with hemorrhagic cerebral paragonimiasis (CP), and we evaluated the influence of Paragonimus infection on cerebrovascular damage. METHODS Ten patients (7 male and 3 female; median age 15.7 years, range 4-46 years) with hemorrhagic CP were diagnosed betw...

A case of cerebral paragonimiasis.

MR imaging of chronic cerebral paragonimiasis.

Paragonimiasis is a rare disease that is widely distributed throughout the Far East and Southeast Asia. The disease results from the ingestion of freshwater crabs or crayfish contaminated with the lung fluke , the genus Paragonimus . With the exception of the most common and usually primary site (the lung), paragonimiasis occurs most frequently in the brain [1, 2] . Radiologic manifestations of...

Morphological study on experimental cerebral vasospasm. II. Fluorescence microscopic examination on experimental cerebral vasospasm.

Basilar arteries with experimental vasospasm were studies histochemically using a catecholamine fluorescence technique in 15 cats. Fluorescence microscopy of normal vessels revealed abundant catecholamine fluorescence in the adventitia and in close contact with the media, but none within the media. Experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage resulted in depletion of catecholamine fluorescence in the a...

The Experimental Study of Increased ICP on Cerebral Hemorrhage Rabbits with Magnetic Induction Phase Shift Method

Introduction Measuring magnetic induction phase shift (MIPS) changes as a function of cerebral hemorrhage volume has the potential for being a simple method for primary and non-contact detection of the occurrence and progress of cerebral hemorrhage. Our previous MIPS study showed that the intracranial pressure (ICP) was used as a contrast index and found the primary correlation between MIPS and...
