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 ...
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics in the cervical spinal subarachnoid space (SSS) have been thought to be important to help diagnose and assess craniospinal disorders such as Chiari I malformation (CM). In this study we obtained time-resolved three direct ...
The role of the inducible matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 in blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption after ischemic stroke is well accepted. Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (r-tPA) is the only approved thrombolytic treatment of ischemic stroke but r ...
An ab initio theory for Fano resonances in plasmonic nanostructures and metamaterials is de- veloped using Feshbach formalism. It reveals the role played by the electromagnetic modes and material losses in the system, and enables the engineering of Fano re ...
Hydrocephalus is a brain disease wherein the ventricles dilate and compress the parenchyma towards the skull. It is primarily characterized by the disruption of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow within the ventricular system. Normal pressure hydrocephalus ...
In older adults, physical activity (PA) is promoted for public health preventive effort. It is also a major target in the rehabilitation process. Existing assessment tools in the clinical routine do not include any aspects of PA or participation and are of ...
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) can be used in-vivo in a vast array of applications, such as anatomical imaging (magnetic resonance imaging, MRI), localized chemical composition characterization (magnetic resonance spectroscopy, MRS), cellular structure a ...
In this work, we pave the route towards the engineering of strong and spectrally sharp Fano resonances in plasmonic nanostructures and derive analytical formulas for their line shape as a function of their electromagnetic response. Contrary to the original ...

Although we need to continue our efforts in basic sciences and research for the discovery of fundamental knowledge, we also need to focus on how this knowledge can improve human health. Often, it is not a single view or approach that will lead to discoveri ...
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a colourless liquid that fills the ventricular space and serves several functions like buoyancy, chemical stability and protection. CSF is produced within the ventricles and partly by the ependyma cells. Part of it seeps toward ...
