Background: Traumatic brain injury is believed to be a public health disorder with some complications. Post Traumatic Neurocognitive Disorders (PTND) received much attention among these complications because of the high prevalence of mild traumatic brain injuries. On the other hand, advanced neuroimaging is increasingly becoming an exciting modality in the field of traumatic brain injury. Magne...

Two patients with the diagnosis of brain death were evaluated with computerized axial tomography (CAT). After intravenous infusion of 30% Conray there was no visualization of the intracranial vasculature (circle of Willis). The second patient also had an isoelectric EEG. A third patient with an intracerebral lesion similar to the other cases but without diagnosis of brain death, showed good vis...

background: early diagnosis of brain tumors has significant effect on the treatment process. brain metastatic tumors are usually diagnosed following the neurological symptoms in patients or incidentally after computerized tomography (ct) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (mri) requests of the brain. objectives: implementation of a new method for being informed about the origin of brain tumors...

Unilateral arthritis was produced in rats by use of methylated bovine serum albumin in a model of antigen-induced arthritis. The progression of arthritis was measured by computerized motion analysis, bilateral joint circumference, voluntary extension force of the hindlegs, and length of ankle extension. Animals with induced arthritis were assigned to treated and untreated groups on the basis of...

UNLABELLED Caffeine is thought to act as a central stimulant and to have effects on physical, cognitive, and psychomotor functioning. PURPOSE To examine the effects of ingesting a performance bar, containing caffeine, before and during cycling exercise on physical and cognitive performance. METHODS Twenty-four well-trained cyclists consumed the products [a performance bar containing 45 g of...

Objective: Epileptic seizures may cause skeletal muscle injury and memory dysfunctions. The present study was aimed to investigate the possible protective effects of exercising prior seizure on seizure-induced oxidative in brain. Materials Methods: Sprague-Dawley male rats were assigned as non-exercise (n=16) exercise groups (n=16). Following a 3-day training, protocol (30 min) performed treadm...

The Effect of Exercise and Folate Nano-Liposomes on D1 D2 Receptor Gene Expression in the Brain Alzheimer's Rats

Physiological activation increases glucose uptake locally in the brain. However, it is not known how high intensity exercise affects regional and global brain glucose uptake. The effect of exercise intensity and exercise capacity on brain glucose uptake was directly measured using positron emission tomography (PET) and [18F]fluoro-deoxy-glucose ([18F]FDG). Fourteen healthy, right-handed men wer...
