Harnessing Magnetic Resonance-Guided Focused Ultrasound for Precise Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption: Advancements in Targeted Therapeutics for Neurological Disorders

Mohammadreza Tahriri

Article Type: Review Article | First Published: 2024/09/28

This review examines the latest advancements in the clinical application of Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS), also referred to as Magnetic Resonance High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (MR-HIFUS), for transiently permeabilizing the blood-brain barrier (BBB), thereby enhancing drug delivery for neurological disorders treatments. Extensive preclinical studies and human safety trials have established a robust safety profile for MRgFUS, supporting its use in conditions such as Alz...

Recurrent Desmoplastic Infantile Ganglioglioma Treated with Antineoplastons: Partial Response and Overall Survival of > 11.8 Years in a Ten-Month-Old Female

Stanislaw R. Burzynski, Gregory S. Burzynski, Tomasz Janicki Alejandro Marquis and Samuel Beenken

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2024/07/21

Desmoplastic infantile tumors (DIT) are rare neoplasms of the central nervous system that occur in infants and young children. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) grading system, DIT are classified into three subtypes: Desmoplastic infantile astrocytoma (DIA), desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma (DIG), and desmoplastic/nodular medulloblastoma (DNMB). DIA and DIG are WHO grade 1 while DNMB is WHO grade 4. Recurrent WHO grade 1 DIT have a very poor prognosis and there is no standardi...

Investigation on the Relationship between Metabolic Changes and Symptom Burden in Sport-Related Concussion Recovery

Allyn Abadie, José R Fernández and Ryan N Moran

Article Type: Original Research | First Published: 2024/05/17

A sport-related concussion (SRC) is a mild traumatic brain injury resulting from impulsive forces in sports, often presenting various symptoms. Clinicians lack objective measures and rely on subjective patient reports (via symptom checklists or inventories) to guide return-to-play decisions. These methods, however, may not reflect physiologic recovery, with concern over the under-reporting of symptoms to return to activity quicker. Quantitative tracking of physiologic recovery could offer a more...

Lotfi Boublata, Oumaima Bouzerara, Imene Lekikot, Ahlem Laouar, Belkacem Boudjaja and Soumeya Amarouche

Article Type: Original Article | First Published: 2024/02/19

The tumor volume and the quality of the tumor resection were evaluated by MRI according to the Kenzaki classification. The facial nerve function was evaluated according to the House and Brackmann classification. The type of the cystic SV according to the position of the cyst and the thickness of the cystic wall was classified into type A and B according to the Piccirillo, et al. classification (PC)....

Article Type: Original Research | First Published: 2024/02/08

In this study, 46 patients who were operated on for Type I Chiari malformation (CM) in our clinic since 2010 were included. The preoperative and postoperative cranial and spinal MRI examinations of all patients were compared between the two groups in terms of hydrocephalus, tonsillar herniation level, the presence and level of syringomyelia, osseous anomalies, postoperative cisterna magna formation, postoperative obex structure, and syringomyelia status....
