Risk of intracranial aneurysm rupture could be affected by geometric features of intracranial aneurysms and the surrounding vasculature in a location specific manner. Our goal is to investigate the morphological characteristics associated with ruptured posterior communicating artery (PCoA) aneurysms, as well as patient factors associated with the morphological parameters. Three...
Iron and its derivatives play a significant role in various physiological and biochemical pathways, and are influenced by a wide variety of inflammatory, infectious, and immunological disorders. We hypothesized that iron and its related factors play a role in intracranial aneurysm pathophysiology and investigated if serum iron values are associated with ruptured intracranial...
Progress in experimental stroke and translational medicine could be accelerated by high-resolution in vivo imaging of disease progression in the mouse cortex. Here, we introduce optical microscopic methods that monitor brain injury progression using intrinsic optical scattering properties of cortical tissue. A multi-parametric Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) platform for...
