Neurospectroscopy allows biochemical processes in the brain to be studied non-invasively. At magnetic field strengths of 1.5 T or higher, cerebral proton neurospectroscopy allows the ascertainment of values of myo-inositol, choline-containing compounds, creatine, glutamate, glutamine, and N-acetyl
Previous neuroimaging studies have detected markers of neuroinflammation in patients with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) is suitable for measuring brain metabolites linked to inflammation, but has only been applied to discrete
Many individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) report persistent fatigue even after management of peripheral disease activity. This study used whole-brain magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) to investigate whether abnormal inflammatory activity in the central nervous OBJECTIVE
Eosinophilia myalgia syndrome (EMS), a multisystemic disease induced by exposure to L-tryptophan, may result in serious CNS abnormalities. The purpose of this study was to determine the pattern of neurologic characteristics, MR imaging abnormalities, and brain neurometabolites in
Patients with chronic hepatitis C infection may exhibit neuropsychological symptoms and cognitive impairment. Post-mortem studies of hepatitis C virus HCV quasispecies and replicative intermediates indicate that the brain might act as a separate compartment for viral replication and microglia may be
OBJECTIVE
Fatigue, mood disturbances and cognitive dysfunction are frequent in patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) who have mild liver disease. The reason is still unclear. The present study aims to gain more insight into the pathomechanism by combining an extensive neuropsychological
