Conclusion: White matter changes after stroke may be localized rather than a global phenomenon.]]> Wed 06 Apr 2022 13:57:07 AEST ]]> Neurometabolic changes in multiple sclerosis: Fingolimod versus beta interferon or glatiramer acetate therapy https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53309 .05). Compared to HCs, both RRMS cohorts showed volume changes in white matter (−13%), gray matter (−16%), and cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) (+17-23%), as well as reduced NAA (−17%, p =.001, hippocampus), (−7%, p =.001, PCG), and (−9%, p =.001, PFC). MRI/S metrics in three regions were moderately correlated with cognition and fatigue functions. Conclusion: While both treatment arms showed overall similar volumetric and neurometabolic profiles, longitudinal studies are warranted to clarify neurometabolic changes and associations with treatment efficacy.]]> Tue 21 Nov 2023 12:02:21 AEDT ]]> Arterial spin labeling identifies tissue salvage and good clinical recovery after acute ischemic stroke https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23590 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:13:22 AEDT ]]> Biochemical Correlations with Fatigue in Multiple Sclerosis Detected by MR 2D Localized Correlated Spectroscopy https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43429 P ≤ .05). Only GPC showed positive correlation with all fatigue domains (r = .537, P ≤ .05). On the other hand, Glx-upper, NAA-2, GSH+Hca, and fucose-3 showed negative correlations with all fatigue domains (r = –.345 to –.580, P ≤ .05). While tyrosine showed positive correlation with MFIS (r = .499, P ≤ .05), cognitive fatigue was negatively correlated with total GSH (r = –.530, P ≤ .05). No correlations were found between lesion load or brain volumes with fatigue score. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that fatigue in MS is strongly correlated with an imbalance in neurometabolites but not structural brain measurements.]]> Mon 19 Sep 2022 09:29:20 AEST ]]> A longitudinal analysis of brain volume changes in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53845 .1). Conclusion: We found evidence of loss of GM and TBV over time in pwMOGAD, similar to pwMS, although the WM and lesion volumes were unchanged.]]> Fri 19 Jan 2024 10:18:15 AEDT ]]>
