概括
患有术后痴呆症的老年人显示在后带带皮层 (PCC) 的手术前大脑差异. 这些微观结构变化,独立于阿尔茨海默病的病理,与注意力缺陷有关,增加了妄想风险.
科学领域:
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 老年医学 老年医学
- 放射学 放射学是一门学科.
背景情况:
- 手术后妄 (POD) 在老年人中很常见,增加了痴呆症的风险.
- 将POD与长期认知衰退联系起来的神经基础尚不清楚.
- 神经元导向分散和密度成像 (NODDI) 检测到微妙的微观结构性脑损伤.
研究的目的:
- 在易患POD的老年人中调查手术前的大脑微观结构异常.
- 检查这些异常,POD和手术前认知功能之间的关系.
- 确定POD易感性是否与阿尔茨海默氏症 (AD) 病理学有关.
主要方法:
- 在111名老年手术患者手术前和手术后分析的扩散MRI (包括NODDI).
- 专注于后带带皮层 (PCC),这是一个涉及AD和痴呆症的区域.
- 与POD发育和手术前认知表现相关的扩散指标.
主要成果:
- 患有POD的患者在手术前表现出自由水 (FISO) 和神经质密度指数 (NDI) 的增加,并在背部PCC中降低了方向分散指数 (ODI).
- 术后FISO差异持续存在;NDI和ODI差异没有.
- 手术前的PCC NDI和ODI与注意力/度相关,独立于年龄,教育和缩,但与CSF Aβ水平无关.
结论:
- 背部PCC中术前的微观结构异常可能会使个体易患POD,而不论AD病理.
- 这些PCC异常与手术前注意力缺陷有关,这是POD的核心特征.
- PCC中的微结构脆弱性可能解释了老年人注意力缺陷和POD风险之间的联系.

Psychosurgery
Psychosurgery, the surgical alteration or permanent removal of brain tissue to alleviate severe psychological conditions, stands as one of the most radical and controversial treatments in the history of mental health care. Its development and application have evolved significantly, marked by dramatic shifts in scientific understanding and ethical perspectives.

Healing II: Complications
Complications during healing arise when tissue repair is altered by local or systemic factors. These changes involve abnormal collagen deposition, altered biomechanics, and reduced vascular supply, impairing restoration of normal structure and function.Loss of FunctionScar tissue differs significantly from the original tissue it replaces. In the skin, fibrosis lacks adnexal structures such as hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands. Their absence reduces tactile sensitivity, impairs...
