Case study on white matter abnormalities
~ The purpose of a paper in the social sciences, designed around a case study, is to investigate a topic of analysis in depth to reveal new understanding about the research problem and thus contribute new knowledge to what is already known from previous to research. studies. In applied social science disciplines, for example education, this study has demonstrated microstructural abnormalities in specific white matter tracts in non-demented older persons with diabetes. Microstructural changes assessed by DTI are a potential marker for early white matter abnormalities in diabetes and may be more sensitive than classical MRI markers of small vessels. Microstructural changes in the white matter are evident in obsessive-compulsive disorder OCD, both in adults and children. Pediatric patients go through the maturation process and thus may undergo a different pathophysiology than adult OCD. Findings from studies in children. Unlike previous studies, which presented the age-related spatial distribution of white matter lesions, our study applied a clinically widely used assessment tool to infer the severity of white matter lesions. 7, that we observed a high level of individual consistency in all six stages, especially in periventricular areas, we assume that this, PMID: 32814957. The epilepsies are usually accompanied by widespread abnormalities in the white matter of the brain. ENIGMA-Epilepsy is a large quantitative brain imaging consortium collecting data to investigate patterns of neuroimaging abnormalities in common epilepsy syndromes, including temporal lobe epilepsy. The Corpus callosum is one of the most frequently damaged parts of the white matter. The splenium and lower surface of the posterior body are primarily involved due to its proximity to the falx cerebri. The lesions are usually small and invisible on CT. MRI is the method of choice in their diagnosis. The regional distribution of white matter WM abnormalities in schizophrenia remains poorly understood, and reported disease effects on the brain vary widely among studies. In an attempt to. The current study extended the disease duration for the onset of white matter abnormalities years after diagnosis and showed that almost all white matter tracts were present years after diagnosis. Abnormalities in the white matter have been described in studies. Settings and design: These case-control study cases were conducted during the period January through. Online gaming addiction OGA has received increased attention as a serious public health problem. However, there are only a few brain magnetic resonance imaging studies on brain structure about OGA. In the current study, we used voxel-based morphometry-VBM analysis and tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) to investigate the DTI methodologies among these studies. followed by a priori. Numerous studies focusing on gray and white matter have found significant changes in brain areas in patients with depressive disorders, such as in the frontal lobe, hippocampus, temporal lobe, thalamus, striatum and amygdala. The results are inconsistent and controversial due to different demographic and clinical conditions. Cognitive impairment, present in a number of cases, was most clearly associated with white matter abnormalities. Gray and white matter abnormalities often occurred together, suggesting a common etiology for HIV-associated brain injury, which may be related to long-term untreated infection and immune activation. in a,
