The prognosis for locked-in syndrome after acquired brainstem injury is unfavourable. However, partial recovery of motor function occurs in many patients and benefits from intensive rehabilitation. He...
The integrity of cortical motor networks and their descending effector pathway (the corticospinal tract [CST]) is a major determinant motor recovery after stroke. However, this view neglects the impor...
Lesion data and diffusivity parameters (fractional anisotropy) of the ipsi- and contralesional VTMC tract and CST were obtained from 133 patients (63.9 ± 13.4 years, 45 women) during the acute and chr...
A significant post-stroke degeneration occurred in both tracts, but only VTMC degeneration was associated with lesion size. Using multiple regression models, we dissected the impact of particular trac...
Post-stroke outcome is influenced by ascending (VTMC) and descending (CST) fiber tracts. Favorable outcome regarding independence (modified Ranking Scale), upper limb motor function (modified Fugl-Mey...
Myocardial recovery occurs in approximately 5% of left ventricular assist device recipients. In selected patients, it is possible to electively perform left ventricular assist device explantation afte...
Although ample evidence highlights that the ipsilesional corticospinal tract (CST) plays a crucial role in motor recovery after stroke, studies on cortico-cortical motor connections remain scarce and ...
Diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI) and a novel compartment-wise analysis approach were used to quantify structural connectivity between bilateral cortical core motor regions in chronic stroke patients. ...
Both basal and complex motor performance were correlated with structural connectivity between bilateral premotor areas and ipsilesional primary motor cortex (M1) as well as interhemispheric M1 to M1 c...
We demonstrate for the first time that distinct aspects of cortical structural reserve enable basal and complex motor control after stroke. In particular, recovery of basal motor control may be suppor...
Reverse remodeling, the overarching concept behind myocardial recovery, describes the process in which the maladaptive cardiac structural and functional alterations are reversed by removing the underl...
In stroke patients, preserved cognitive function plays a role in motor recovery, but there is insufficient evidence on the involved mechanisms. These mechanisms require investigation in the human brai...
In this study, we investigated the role of cognition-related networks on upper extremity motor recovery using neuroimaging data of subacute stroke patients....
This study retrospectively analyzed cohort data of 108 subacute ischemic stroke patients. All patients underwent resting-state functional MRI and motor function assessments using the Fugl-Meyer assess...
Cognition-related networks were correlated with the FMA-UE recovery score, as were motor-related networks. Interaction effects between motor- and cognition-related network states existed in motor reco...
These results suggested that the greater the damage to the motor network caused by stroke is, the more important the cognition-related networks are in motor recovery....
To promote recovery in psychosis, targeting modifiable factors related to recovery is critical. Using more strict definition of full recovery, we examined predictors for recovery in patients with earl...
Chemotherapy has markedly improved cancer outcomes, yet cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) poses a significant challenge, affecting around 10% of patients. CTRCD can be asymptomatic or...
During episodes of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), individuals with migraine, compared with individuals without migraine, may experience more severe vestibular symptoms because of their h...
All patients with BPPV were assigned to the migraine group (MG, n = 64) and without migraine group (BPPV w/o MG, n = 64) and completed the Vertigo Symptom Scale (VSS), Vertigo Dizziness Imbalance Symp...
Compared with the BPPV w/o MG, the MG had higher VSS scores at baseline [19.5 (10.7) vs. 11.3 (8.5); p < 0.001] and on one-month follow-up [10.9 (9.3) vs. 2.2 (2.7), p < 0.001]; experienced more sever...
Clinicians are advised to inquire about migraine when evaluating patients with BPPV because it may lead to more intricate and severe clinical presentation. Further studies will be elaborated the genui...
Poststroke aphasia (PSA) recovery shows high variability across individuals and at different time points. Although diffusion biomarkers from the ventral and dorsal streams have demonstrated strong pre...
Participants were recruited at a stroke unit at the emergency room, and underwent diffusion magnetic resonance imaging scanning and language assessment within 3 days (acute phase) after stroke, with b...
Thirty-nine participants presenting PSA were recruited, and 24 participants (mean age, 73 years; 8 women) completed the 3-time point assessment in total. The best prediction model of performance score...
Language performance at subacute and chronic time points could be predicted by the integrity of the left arcuate fasciculus, whereas Δscores in the subacute and chronic phases depended on the left inf...
