- Ten Years of VASARI Glioma Features: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Their Impact and Performance
Visually Accessible Rembrandt Images (VASARI) is a standardized reporting system for gliomas that combines MRI features (eg, enhancement pattern and location). This meta-analysis found that overall survival is predicted by multifocality, ependymal invasion, and enhancing tumor crossing the midline. However, due to the heterogeneity of studies, IDH mutation prediction remains uncertain.
- Cognitive and Salience Network Connectivity Changes following a Single Season of Repetitive Head Impact Exposure in High School Football
High school football players and controls underwent cognitive battery testing. The study found that football players had subtle cognitive decrements. MRI revealed altered brain connectivity, with decreased dorsal anterior cingulate cortex interhemispheric connectivity and within-salience network connectivity, which correlated with poorer total symptoms and verbal memory performance, respectively.
