Dynamic Susceptibility Contrast Enhanced (DSC) MRI Perfusion and Plasma Cytokine Levels in Patients after Tonic-clonic Seizures
BACKGROUND Inflammatory events in brain parenchyma and glial tissue are involved in epileptogenesis. Blood concentration of cytokines is shown to be elevated after tonic-clonic seizures. As a result of inflammation, blood-brain barrier leakage occurs. This can be documented by imaging techniques, such is dynamic susceptibility contrast enhanced (DSC) MRI perfusion. Our aim was to check for post...
متن کاملCSF and plasma adipokines after tonic–clonic seizures
PURPOSE Adipokines, especially leptin and adiponectin, have gained increasing importance in pathophysiology of various neurological diseases including epilepsy. There are experimental data suggesting a role for leptin in the genesis of seizures and neuroprotection related to seizures. However there are no clinical studies on the effects of epileptic seizures on adipokines. METHODS We measured...

indicate continuing sequelae of the fracture or that people fracturing their neck of femur are more frail and ill than the general population of similar age. Measures of prognosis after fracture and comparisons between hospitals are substantially affected by whether death registration data are included, whether time intervals are extended beyond 30 days, and whether deaths that are not certifie...
متن کاملIndicators of inflammation after recent tonic–clonic epileptic seizures correlate with plasma interleukin-6 levels
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and peripheral blood pleocytosis have been observed after epileptic seizures without any evidence of infections, but no systematic studies on the acute phase reaction in such patients have been performed. We have previously reported increased levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in patients with recent tonic--clonic seizures. Because IL-6 is a major inducer of the systemic a...
متن کاملDynamic susceptibility contrast perfusion MRI (with pitfalls)
Since the first studies in the late 1980s and early 1990s, dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI (DSC-MRI, also known as ‘bolus tracking’) has become a very powerful technique for the assessment of perfusion, and perfusion-related parameters (see (1,2) for recent reviews). Despite the need of an exogenous MR agent (cf. arterial spin labeling techniques), DSC-MRI is currently the most common MR pe...
