To study crossed cerebellar diaschisis (CCD), cerebellar blood flow and oxygen metabolism were measured with positron emission tomography (PET) in 12 patients who showed a minimal degree of hemiparesis due to single unilateral supratentorial lesion. Six patients presenting with mild to moderate cerebellar type hemiataxia showed CCD, that is, decreased blood flow and oxygen metabolism in the cer...

PURPOSE Reduced flow in the internal carotid artery (ICA) is related to cerebral ischemia. We established a classification of reduced ICA flow through color-coded carotid duplex (CCD) sonography. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 25,000 CCD images in sonography laboratory. RESULTS Reduced ICA flow [flow volume (FV) less than 100 mL/min] was found in 1.2% of all studies, and 270 patients w...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Crossed cerebellar diaschisis (CCD) refers to reduced metabolism and blood flow in the cerebellar hemisphere contralateral to a cerebral lesion. Many cortical areas have been reported to cause CCD without consideration of confounding factors. We performed single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in patients with cortical infarction to identify regions independen...

Research has shown that many Bentonite in Nigeria are unsuitable for oil well drilling in their natural states. Their modification and blends with some additives could increase the yield and boost their suitability. Many indigenous polymers have become very popular due to environmental friendliness and their ability to modify rheology of clay suspension. However, the common natural polymers are...

Abstract This study aims to find the cumulative energy demand (CED) and cost (CCD) in synthesis of antistatic bionanocomposites (AS BNC) compared with polypropylene (PP). The CED was identified using SimaPro 9.1.1 software, CCD material flow analysis (MEFA) method. results show that required per kg mass AS BNC pellets 87.80 MJ, which is lower than PP (91.19 MJ). shows use 94.38% PP, 2% M-DAG, 2...

Dorsal root ganglia (DRG) are vulnerable to physical injury of the intervertebral foramen, and chronic compression of the DRG (CCD) an result in nerve root damage with persistent morbidity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of low level laser therapy (LLLT) on the DRG in a CCD model and to determine the mechanisms underlying these effects. CCD rats had L-shaped stainless-ste...

Canine cognitive dysfunction (CCD) is an age-dependent neurodegenerative condition characterised by changes in decline in learning and memory patterns. The neurodegenerative features of CCD in ageing dogs and cats are similar to human ageing and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Discovering neuroprotective disease-modifying therapies against CCD and AD is a major challenge. Strong evidence supports the...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Concerning vasoreactivity of cerebellar blood flow (CeBF) in patients affected with crossed cerebellar diaschisis (CCD), several controversies have been reported. One is reduced asymmetry of CeBF after acetazolamide administration in 99mTc hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime single-photon emission-computed tomography, and the other is persistent asymmetry with alternation in P...
