Does visual assessment of brain magnetic resonance imaging detect injury to cognitive regulatory sites in patients with heart failure?
Visual examination of brain MRI can detect damage in HF in areas regulating depression and executive function, including the right hippocampus and left frontal cortex. Visual MRI assessment in HF may facilitate evaluation of injury to these structures and the assessment of the impact of potential treatments for this damage.
Based on morphological and sialoscintigraphic findings, a cytoprotective effect on acute toxicity of rat salivary glands could be detected under irradiation with synchronous application of sodium selenite. In addition, no effects on tumor response and metastasis frequency were observed. The general animal constitution was not affected by additional medication with sodium selenite during irradiation.
