Quantitative Kinematic Characterization of Reaching Impairments in Mice After a Stroke

Background and Objective. Kinematic analysis of reaching movements is increasingly used to evaluate upper extremity function after cerebrovascular insults in humans and has also been applied to rodent models. Such analyses can require time-consuming frame- ...

Mathematical and Numerical Modeling of Healthy and Unhealthy Cerebral Arterial Tissues

Paolo Tricerri

Over the last two decades, we have witnessed an increasing application of mathematical models and numerical simulations for the study of the cardiovascular system. Indeed, both tools provide an important contribution to the analysis of the functioning of t ...

Non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers for estimating the onset time of permanent cerebral ischemia

Rolf Gruetter, Lijing Xin, Hongxia Lei, Lara Buscemi Estefanell, Corinne Benakis

The treatments for ischemic stroke can only be administered in a narrow time-window. However, the ischemia onset time is unknown in ~30% of stroke patients (wake-up strokes). The objective of this study was to determine whether MR spectra of ischemic brain ...

Active Control mitigating the Ear Canal Occlusion Effect caused by Hearing Aids

Thomas Stefan Zurbrügg

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates the prevalence of a disabling hearing loss to be above 5% world-wide 1. A treatment with a hearing aid - be it behind-the-ear (BTE), in-the-ear (ITE) or receiver-in-canal (RIC) - involves some degree of occlusi ...

The effect of continuous positive airway pressure on total cerebral blood flow in healthy awake volunteers

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Bryn Andrew Martin

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the gold standard treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. However, the physiologic impact of CPAP on cerebral blood flow (CBF) is not well established. Ultrasound can be used to estimate CBF, but there is no wid ...

Treatment with Evasin-3 reduces atherosclerotic vulnerability for ischemic stroke, but not brain injury in mice

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Katia Galan, Luciano Dos Santos Aggum Capettini, Jean-Christophe Copin, Danielle Gomes Passos Silva

Neutrophilic inflammation might have a pathophysiological role in both carotid plaque rupture and ischemic stroke injury. Here, we investigated the potential benefits of the CXC chemokine-binding protein Evasin-3, which potently inhibits chemokine bioactiv ...

New Evidence of Neuroprotection by Lactate after Transient Focal Cerebral Ischaemia: Extended Benefit after Intracerebroventricular Injection and Efficacy of Intravenous Administration

Pierre Magistretti, Ximena Castillo

Background: Lactate protects mice against the ischaemic damage resulting from transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) when administered intracerebroventricularly at reperfusion, yielding smaller lesion sizes and a better neurological outcome 48 h ...

High-resolution spatial mapping of changes in the neurochemical profile after focal ischemia in mice

Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei, Malte Alf

After ischemic stroke, the ischemic damage to brain tissue evolves over time and with an uneven spatial distribution. Early irreversible changes occur in the ischemic core, whereas, in the penumbra, which receives more collateral blood flow, the damage is ...

Continuous arterial spin labeling of mouse cerebral blood flow using an actively-detuned two-coil system at 9.4T

Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei, Yves Pilloud

Among numerous magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques, perfusion MRI provides insight into the passage of blood through the brain's vascular network non-invasively. Studying disease models and transgenic mice would intrinsically help understanding the ...

Research Proposal

Shima Sepehri

n this thesis, we will work on medical image processing. More particularly, we will focus on Wall Motion Tracking in Intracranial Aneurysms by means of accurate and robust segmentation in a 4D Electrocardiography (ECG)-gated Computed Tomography (CT) image ...
