Additional time is needed to determine the exact impact of COVID-19 on acute cerebrovascular disease incidence, but recently published data has correlated COVID-19 to large vessel occlusion strokes. We report the first case of central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) as the initial manifestation of COVID-19 infection. Subsequent neuroimaging reveale...

There is rising concern on the impact of new strategies, such as high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) and immunotherapy, on the pattern of relapse in high-risk neuroblastoma (HR-NBL). Our aim is to evaluate the incidence and identify risk factors for first recurrence in the central nervous system (CNS) in HR-NBL. Data from patients with stage 4V HR-NBL inc...

Fetal ventriculomegaly is the most common central nervous system abnormality detected by prenatal imaging. It has a high association with other anomalies. Etiologies and prognoses for fetal ventriculomegaly range from normal outcomes to significant neurodevelopmental sequelae. In this paper, we review the development, terminology, pathogenesis, ima...

Clinical features of central nervous system tuberculosis (CNS-TB) are nonspecific. The decision for treatment of the disease in an endemic area is challenging. We aimed to study predictive factors for a definite diagnosis and outcome of patients with CNS-TB. A case-control study was performed in adults with a provisional diagnosis of CNS-TB in Thai...

BackgroundTick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is a member of the Flaviviridae family, Flavivirus genus, which includes several important human pathogens. It is responsible for neurological symptoms that may cause permanent disability or death, and, from a medical point of view, is the major arbovirus in Central/Northern Europe and North-Eastern As...

Due to the limitations of analytical techniques and the complicity of schizophrenia, nowadays it is still a challenge to diagnose and stratify schizophrenia patients accurately. Many attempts have been made to identify and validate available biomarkers for schizophrenia from CSF and/or peripheral blood in clinical studies with consideration to dise...

Orexins are neuropeptides implicated in several physiological functions. Accumulating findings suggest a relationship between orexin and sepsis. A recent study demonstrated that orexin acts centrally to improve conditions in sepsis. The present study aims to clarify the precise mechanisms by which central orexin could induce a protective action aga...

To provide a comprehensive review of studies that have investigated fatigue in intensive care unit (ICU) survivors and questions the potential link between intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICUAW), fatigability and fatigue. We also question whether the central nervous system (CNS) may be the link between these entities. A narrative review of t...

Nanoscale particles (1-100 nm) can be of natural origin, and either intentionally or unintentionally produced by human activities. Toxicological data have suggested a possible carcinogenic effect of such particles. The aim of this study was to estimate the association between occupational exposure to nanoscale particles and risk of lung cancer, ple...

Microcomputed X-ray tomography (microCT), developed since the late 1990s, is a miniaturized version of the tomographs used daily in medical imaging. It produces vascular images that are different from those obtained by microradiography, in particular by facilitating the vision in space, thus understanding microvascularisation. The anatomical specim...
