Neurodevelopmental Outcomes Of Infantile Hydrocephalus: An Fmri Case Study, Ikhlas Ahmed Hashi
Neurodevelopmental Outcomes Of Infantile Hydrocephalus: An Fmri Case Study, Ikhlas Ahmed Hashi
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Ventricle dilatation caused by infantile hydrocephalus may result in extensive damage of the posterior cortex (parietal and occipital lobes). We hypothesize that pathological changes in the development of the posterior cortex can be linked to non-verbal learning disabilities in children with previous infantile hydrocephalus. This case study will investigate the neurodevelopmental outcomes of 3 treated hydrocephalus patients, when compared to a group of healthy control children (n = 12). Within the hydrocephalus group, patients displayed differences in non-verbal test performance as well as parietal brain activation during an fMRI number comparison task. We associated these differences with clinical variables such …

Improving The Assessment And Understanding Of Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension, Jacquie Baker
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension (NOH) is a cardinal feature of autonomic failure. Patients with NOH experience a persistent and consistent drop in blood pressure when standing due to failure of the autonomic nervous system to reflexively increase sympathetic outflow. NOH affects individuals worldwide, presenting as both a primary feature (i.e. Multiple Systems Atrophy, Pure Autonomic Failure) and secondary to several common disorders including diabetes and Parkinson’s Disease. However, there are still several gaps in our overall understanding and assessment of patients with NOH. Therefore, the six studies presented in this thesis aimed to address some of these gaps in our current …

Research Summary: Key Findings
- Stroke is a common cause of epilepsy in older adults, but little is known about stroke-related epilepsy or its outcomes in this population.
- 1.1% of older adult stroke survivors developed epilepsy in this study, of whom 12.9% developed refractory epilepsy, indicating that this population is particularly responsive to treatment.
- Over 85% of deaths in this population are not due to stroke or epilepsy.
