Age dependency of cerebral P-gp function measured with (R)-[11C]verapamil and PET.

3 Aug 2009 PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to assess the influence of age on the functional activity of the multidrug efflux transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp) at the human blood-brain barrier. METHODS: Seven young (mean age: 27 +/- 4 years) and six elderly ... Read more...

A comparative study of brain perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in patients with post-traumatic anosmia.

29 Jun 2009 BACKGROUND: Loss of smell is a problem that can occur in up to 30% of patients with head trauma. The olfactory function investigation methods so far in use have mostly relied on subjective responses given by patients. Recently, some studies have ... Read more...

[Clinical utility of (18)F-DOPA-PET in movement disorders. A systematic review]

29 Apr 2009 INTRODUCTION: (18)F-fluorodopa ((18)F-DOPA) is a functional tracer of presynaptic dopaminergic neuron terminations in the nigrostriatal system. This review is aimed to assess the efficacy of (18)F-DOPA-PET in the diagnosis and evaluation of the ... Read more...
