RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) represents one of the most common causes of refractory epilepsy in children. Deep learning demonstrates great power in tissue discrimination by analyzing MRI data. A prediction model was built and verified using 3D full-resolution nnU-Net for automatic lesion detection and segmentation of children with FCD II. METHODS: High-resolution brain MRI structure data from 65 patients, confirmed with FCD II by pathology, were retrospectively studied. Experienced neuroradiologists segmented and labeled the lesions as the ground truth. Also, we used 3D full-resolution nnU-Net to segment lesions automatically, generating detection maps. The algorithm was trained using fivefold cross-validation, with data partitioned into training (N = 200) and testing (N = 15). To evaluate performance, detection maps were compared to expert manual labels. The Dice-Sørensen coefficient (DSC) and sensitivity were used to assess the algorithm performance. RESULTS: The 3D nnU-Net showed a good performance for FCD lesion detection at the voxel level, with a sensitivity of 0.73. The best segmentation model achieved a mean DSC score of 0.57 on the testing dataset. CONCLUSION: This pilot study confirmed that 3D full-resolution nnU-Net can automatically segment FCD lesions with reliable outcomes. This provides a novel approach to FCD lesion detection. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: Our fully automatic models could process the 3D T1-MPRAGE data and segment FCD II lesions with reliable outcomes. KEY POINTS: • Simplified image processing promotes the DL model implemented in clinical practice. • The histopathological confirmed lesion masks enhance the clinical credibility of the AI model. • The voxel-level evaluation metrics benefit lesion detection and clinical decisions.

RESUMO

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Despite advances in risk-stratified treatment strategies for children with medulloblastoma (MB), the prognosis for MB with short-term recurrence is extremely poor, and there is still a lack of evaluation of short-term recurrence risk or short-term survival. This study aimed to construct and validate a radiomics model for predicting the outcome of MB based on preoperative multiparametric magnetic resonance images (MRIs) and to provide an objective for clinical decision-making. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The clinical and imaging data of 64 patients with MB admitted to Shenzhen Children's Hospital from December 2012 to December 2021 and confirmed by pathology were retrospectively collected. According to the 18-month progression-free survival, the cases were classified into a good prognosis group and a poor prognosis group, and all cases were divided into training group (70%) and validation group (30%) randomly. Radiomics features were extracted from MRI of each child. The consistency test, t-test, and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator were used for feature selection. The support vector machine (SVM) and receiver operator characteristic were used to evaluate the distinguishing ability of the selected features to the prognostic groups. RAD score was calculated based on the selected features. The clinical characteristics and RAD score were included in the multivariate logistic regression, and prediction models were constructed by screening out independent influences. The radiomics nomogram was constructed, and its clinical significance was evaluated. RESULTS: A total of 1930 radiomic features were extracted from the images of each patient, and 11 features were included in the construction of radiomics score after selected. The area under the curve (AUC) values of the SVM model in the training and validation groups were 0.946 and 0.797, respectively. The radiomics nomogram was constructed based on the training cohort, and the AUC values in the training group and the validation group were 0.926 and 0.835, respectively. The results of clinical decision curve analysis showed that a good net benefit could be obtained from the nomogram. CONCLUSION: The radiomics nomogram established based on MRI can be used as a noninvasive predictive tool to evaluate the prognosis of children with MB, which is expected to help neurosurgeons better conduct preoperative planning and patient follow-up management.

RESUMO

Objective: Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) negatively affects social functioning; however, its neurological underpinnings remain unclear. Altered Default Mode Network (DMN) connectivity may contribute to social dysfunction in ADHD. We investigated whether DMN's dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) alterations were associated with social dysfunction in individuals with ADHD. Methods: Resting-state fMRI was used to examine DMN subsystems (dorsal medial prefrontal cortex (dMPFC), medial temporal lobe (MTL)) and the midline core in 40 male ADHD patients (7-10 years) and 45 healthy controls (HCs). Connectivity correlations with symptoms and demographic data were assessed. Group-based analyses compared rsFC between groups with two-sample t-tests and post-hoc analyses. Results: Social dysfunction in ADHD patients was related to reduced DMN connectivity, specifically in the MTL subsystem and the midline core. ADHD patients showed decreased dFC between parahippocampal cortex (PHC) and left superior frontal gyrus, and between ventral medial prefrontal cortex (vMPFC) and right middle frontal gyrus compared to HCs (MTL subsystem). Additionally, decreased dFC between posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), anterior medial prefrontal cortex (aMPFC), and right angular gyrus (midline core) was observed in ADHD patients relative to HCs. No abnormal connectivity was found within the dMPFC. Conclusion: Preliminary findings suggest that DMN connectional abnormalities may contribute to social dysfunction in ADHD, providing insights into the disorder's neurobiology and pathophysiology.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the incidence of seizures and short-term mortality associated with seizures in children undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). METHODS: PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were searched from inception to September 2021. Study quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Random effects meta-analysis was conducted. RESULTS: Fourteen studies met the inclusion criteria for quantitative meta-analysis. The cumulative estimate of seizure incidence was 15% (95% CI: 12-17%). Studies using electroencephalography reported a higher incidence of seizures compared with those using electro-clinical criteria (19% vs. 9%, P = 0.034). Furthermore, 75% of seizures were subclinical. Children receiving extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) exhibited a higher incidence of seizures compared to children with respiratory and cardiac indications. Seizure incidence was higher in patients undergoing venoarterial (VA) ECMO compared with venovenous (VV) ECMO. The pooled odds ratio of mortality was 2.58 (95% CI: 2.25-2.95) in those developed seizures. CONCLUSION: The incidence of seizures in children requiring ECMO was 15% and majority of seizures were subclinical. The incidence of seizures was higher in patients receiving ECPR than in those with respiratory and cardiac indications. Seizures were more frequent in patients undergoing VA ECMO than VV ECMO. Seizures were associated with increased short-term mortality. IMPACT: The incidence of seizures in children undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was ~15% and majority of the seizures were subclinical. Seizures were associated with increased short-term mortality. Risk factors for seizures were extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation and venoarterial ECMO. Electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring is recommended in children undergoing ECMO and further studies on the optimal protocol for EEG monitoring are necessary.

RESUMO

Medulloblastoma (MB) is considered the most common and highly malignant posterior fossa tumor (PFT) in children. The accurate preoperative diagnosis of MB is beneficial in choosing the appropriate surgical methods and treatment strategies. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has improved the accuracy of differential diagnosis of posterior fossa tumors. Nonetheless, further studies are needed to confirm its value for clinical application. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of DWI in differentiating MB from other PFT. A literature search was conducted using databases PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science for studies reporting the diagnostic performance of DWI for PFT from January 2000 to January 2022. A bivariate random-effects model was employed to evaluate the pooled sensitivities and specificities. A univariable meta-regression analysis was used to assess relevant factors for heterogeneity, and subgroup analyses were performed. A total of 15 studies with 823 patients were eligible for data extraction. Overall pooled sensitivity and specificity of DWI were 0.94 (95% confident interval [CI]: 0.89-0.97) and 0.94 (95% CI: 0.90-0.96) respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) of DWI was 0.98 (95% CI: 0.96-0.99). Heterogeneity was found in the sensitivity (I2 = 62.59%) and the specificity (I2 = 35.94%). Magnetic field intensity, region of interest definition and DWI diagnostic parameters are the factors that affect the diagnostic performance of DWI. DWI has excellent diagnostic accuracy for differentiating MB from other PFT. Hence, it is necessary to set DWI as a routine examination sequence for posterior fossa tumors.
