Diffusion Tensor Imaging Dti

The corticospinal tract (CST) and corticocerebellar tract (CCT) are both involved in the upper extremity (UE) function after stroke. Understanding the relationship between the tracts and their functions can contribute to developing patient-specific rehabilitative strategies. Seventy ischemic stroke patients who underwent diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) two weeks after the stroke onset and motor function assessments two weeks and three months after the stroke onset were included in this study. To obtain the CST and CCT integrity, the functional anisotropy (FA) values of both tracts were extracted from the DTI data. Linear regression was used to identify the relationship and predictive accuracy. The CST FA data had predictive values, but CCT FA did not. There were interaction effects between the CST and CCT FA values (p = 0.011). The CCT was significantly associated with high CST FA but not low CST FA. When the CST or CCT FA were applied to patients depending on the CST status, the stratified model showed higher predictive accuracy (R2 = 0.380) than that of the CST-only model (R2 = 0.320). In this study, the conditional role of CCT depending on CST status was identified in terms of UE recovery in stroke patients. This result could provide useful information about individualized rehabilitative strategies in stroke patients.

The Relationship

Background: E-cigarettes have become the most commonly used tobacco products among youth in the United States (US) recently. It is not clear whether there is a causal relationship between e-cigarette use and the onset of cigarette smoking. The “common liability” theory postulates that the association between e-cigarette use and cigarette smoking can be attributed to a common risk construct of using tobacco products. This study aims to investigate the relationship between ever e-cigarette use and cigarette smoking onset in the US using a structural equation modeling approach guided by the “common liability” theory. Methods: The study population is non-institutionalized civilian adolescents living in the US, sampled in the longitudinal Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health study. Information about tobacco product use was obtained via confidential self-report. A structural equation modeling approach was used to estimate the relationship between e-cigarette use at wave 1 and the onset of cigarette smoking at wave 2 after controlling for a latent construct representing a “common liability to use tobacco products.” Results:  After controlling for a latent construct representing a “common liability to use tobacco products”, ever e-cigarette use does not predict the onset of cigarette smoking (β=0.13, 95% CI= -0.07, 0.32, p=0.204). The latent “common liability to use tobacco products” is a robust predictor for the onset of cigarette smoking (β=0.38; 95% CI=0.07, 0.69; p=0.015). Conclusions: Findings from this study provide supportive evidence for the ‘common liability’ underlying observed associations between e-cigarette use and smoking onset.

Objective. To examine the relationship between maternal cigarette smoking during pregnancy and children's intellectual functioning during the first 4 years of life. Design. Prospective follow-up of participants in a randomized trial of pregnancy and infancy nurse home visitation. Setting. Semirural community in Upstate New York. Participants. 400 families in which the mothers registered before the 30th week of pregnancy and had no previous live births. Eighty-five percent of the mothers were either teenagers (<19 years at registration), unmarried, or poor. Analysis limited to whites who comprised 89% of the sample. Main results. Children in the comparison group whose mothers smoked 10 or more cigarettes per day during pregnancy had Stanford-Binet scores at 3 and 4 years of age that were 4.35 (95% CI: 0.02, 8.68) points lower (after controlling for a wide range of variables) than their counterparts whose mothers did not smoke during pregnancy. Conclusions. The results of this study add to the increasingly consistent evidence that maternal cigarette smoking during pregnancy poses a unique risk for neurodevelopmental impairment among children and provide an additional reason for pregnant women not to smoke cigarettes.
