TL;DR: Combining several MRI methods (VBM, LPM, and Probabilistic Tractography) may provide important insights into interacting processes related to the fiber tract and GM changes in MS.

TL;DR: PLG is a plausible biological candidate for MS owing to its involvement in immune system response, blood-brain barrier permeability, and myelin degradation, and components of its activation cascade have been shown to present increased activity or expression in MS patients compared to controls; further studies are needed to clarify whether PLG is involved in MS susceptibility.

TL;DR: Plasma MR-proADM levels improve prediction of functional outcome in ischemic stroke when added to the patients' age, NIHSS on admission, and the use of recanalization therapy.

TL;DR: These data should add to the awareness of significant cerebrovascular complications following wrapping or coating of IAs with cotton gauze and human fibrin adhesives and indicate that major ischemic strokes need to be included in the risk/benefit considerations during decision making for such treatment strategies.

TL;DR: This is a case of herpes simplex encephalitis examined with 99mTc-ethyl cysteinate dimer (ECD) and 99m Tc-hexamethyl propyleneamine oxime (HMPAO) SPECT, which leads to failure to detect the characteristic finding of temporal lobe hyperemia in acute HSE.
