Neurosurgery Hub PodcastFunctional - Predicting Microvascular Decompression Success in Trigeminal Neuralgia with Brain ImagingThis episode explores the predictive value of preoperative brain microstructural alterations for the success of microvascular decompression (MVD) in classical trigeminal neuralgia (CTN). Based on an abstract from 'Cephalalgia : an international journal of headache' (2026), this study analyzed white and gray matter changes using Neurite Orientation Dispersion and Density Imaging (NODDI) in CTN patients and healthy controls. Key findings revealed widespread microstructural disruptions in CTN patients, with preoperative free-water accumulation in a specific gray matter cluster emerging as a highly specific predictor of MVD failure. These insights have significant clinical implications for personalizing treatment strategies and managing patient expectations. This information...

Am J Cardiol. 2023 Aug 15; 201:16-24
Abstract
Peripheral endothelial dysfunction is an independent predictor of adverse long-term prognosis after acute coronary syndrome. Data are lacking on the effects of oral P2Y12-inhibitors on peripheral endothelial function in non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS). Furthermore, the relation between peripheral endothelial function and invasive indexes of coronary microvascular function in NSTEACS is unclear. Between March 2018 and July 2020, hospitalized patients

Based on DNA sequencing, Ap has newly been reallocated from the genus Ehrlichia to the genus Anaplasma in the family Anaplasmataceae (DUMLER et al. 2001). In humans and animals, the clinical signs of Ap infection vary from mild symptoms to severe clinical outcomes, including death. However, the disease generally presents as undifferentiated fever accompanied by leucopenia, thrombocytopenia and increased serum transaminase activities (DUMLER et al. 2005; DUMLER et al. 2007; RIKIHISA 2011).

Medizin - Open Access LMU - Teil 22/22Microvascular dysfunction in the course of metabolic syndrome induced by high-fat dietBackground: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). One important feature underlying the pathophysiology of many types of CVD is microvascular dysfunction. Although components of MetS are themselves CVD risk factors, the risk is increased when the syndrome is considered as one entity. We aimed to characterize microvascular function and some of its influencing factors in the course of MetS development. Methods: Development of MetS in C57BL/6 mice on a high-fat diet (HFD, 51% of energy from fat) was studied. The initial phase of MetS (I-MetS) was defined as the first 2 weeks of HFD feeding...

We investigated the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) and its impact on the vascular remodeling process and reendothelialization after microsurgery. Methods and Results: Microvascular anastomosis was performed in the rat femoral artery. One group was treated with intraluminal administration of VEGF and the other with vehicle. We investigated morphological, ultrastructural and immunohistochemical changes of the vascular wall and the reendothelialization process. After 10 days, reendothelialization was significantly faster in VEGF-treated rats. Transmission electron microscopy revealed a complete healing in...

We found that three out of these five types of MVE express the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM). As shown by immunocytochemistry, weak NCAM immunoreactivity occurred mainly in the perinuclear area of cell type 1. Monolayers of types 2 and 5 revealed heavy NCAM immunoreactivity, which was localized predominantly at the lateral cell surface outlining the contact zones of adjacent cells. In contrast, cell types 3 and 4 were not NCAM immunoreactive. Western blot analyses substantiated these results: While cell type 1 showed a weak immunoreactive...
