Both vascular and intrinsic metabolic factors are thought to be responsible for the localization of periventricular leukomalacia. Lesions responsible for periventricular leukomalacia and posthemorrhagic porencephaly are considered to occur early in the third trimester. Conventional MRI reveals anatomical features of the brain and is typically used to quantify brain tissue volume and shape.Ĭurrently, it is now widely accepted that most cerebral palsy is not the result of intrapartum hypoxia. In children with cerebral palsy syndromes including spastic diplegia, quadriplegia, hemiplegia, and extrapyramidal movement disorders, conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an important determinant of diagnosis, management, and prognosis. Used in combination with history and examination, neuroimaging studies can improve diagnosis and management. Parents and clinicians concerned about high-risk infants and children with motor delay or cerebral palsy seek information on cause, treatment, and prognosis. IntroductionĪdvances in neuroimaging provide unique opportunities to evaluate brain structure, biochemistry, and function. By using the voxel-based morphometry, the total brain, cerebellum, and grey matter volumes were significantly reduced in children with cerebral palsy. Positive correlations were noted between the ventricles enlargement and motor dysfunction and mental retardation in children with cerebral palsy. Negative relationship between width of third ventricle and speech development was found in the patients. Positive correlations between the age of the children of both groups and the grey matter volumes in the total brain were found. Significant grey matter volume reduction was found in the total brain in children with cerebral palsy compared with the control subjects. The total brain and cerebellum volumes in children with cerebral palsy were significantly reduced in comparison to controls. The dominant changes identified on MRI scans in children with cerebral palsy were periventricular leukomalacia (42%) and posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (21%). Eighty-two children with cerebral palsy and 90 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were collected. The aim of present study was to assess the relationships between the volumetric MRI and clinical findings in children with cerebral palsy compared to control subjects. Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies are rarely used in the diagnosis of patients with cerebral palsy. Maintenance records indicate that the airplane had numerous VSO-related maintenance writeups in the weeks before the accident.Introduction. To continue the pressure fueling, a TWA mechanic overrode the automatic VSO by pulling the volumetric fuse and an overflow circuit breaker. During refueling of the aircraft, the volumetric shutoff (VSO) control was believed to have been triggered before the tanks were full. Additionally, severed cables for the engine #3 thrust reverser were replaced. The ground-maintenance crew locked out the thrust reverser for engine #3 (treated as a minimum equipment list item) because of technical problems with the thrust reverser sensors during the landing of TWA 881 at JFK, prior to Flight 800's departure. Maintenance records indicate that the airplane had numerous VSO-related maintenance writeups in the weeks before the accide ✕ Valves triggered before the tanks were full. Test pressure is specified in the stamp markings of the cylinder. Ultrasonic inspection may be substituted for the pressure test, which is usually a hydrostatic test and may be either a proof test or a volumetric expansion test, depending on the cylinder design specification. The iodine test for starch is still used to detect counterfeit banknotes printed on starch-containing paper. The iodide and iodate anions are often used for quantitative volumetric analysis, for example in iodometry and the iodine clock reaction (in which iodine also serves as a test for starch, forming a dark blue complex), and aqueous alkaline iodine solution is used in the iodoform test for methyl ketones. Similarly, Cu2HgI4 is used as a precipitating reagent to test for alkaloids. It is often used as a sensitive spot test for ammonia.
Potassium tetraiodomercurate(II), K2HgI4, is also known as Nessler's reagent.
