Increased prevalence of sublinical brain perfusion abnormalities in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis: evidence of Hashimoto's encephalitis?
These findings of impaired brain perfusion in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis further strengthen the hypothesis of a possible cerebral involvement in autoimmune thyroiditis in individual cases. The presence of cerebral hypoperfusion suggests a cerebral vasculitis as the most likely pathogenetic model.
In contrast to previous studies, we showed that also blue light significantly influences wound healing. Furthermore, our data suggest that light therapy can play an important role in normotrophic wound healing by affecting keratin expression. Illumination would provide an easily applicable, safe and cost-effective treatment of surface wounds.
