| Abstract | BACKGROUND: The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether resolution of crossed cerebellar hypoperfusion (CCH) and increase in (123)I-iomazenil (IMZ) uptake in the ipsilateral cerebral cortex after carotid endarterectomy (CEA) are associated with postoperative improvement of cognitive function. METHODS: Neuropsychological testing was performed preoperatively and after 1 postoperative month in 79 patients undergoing CEA for ipsilateral internal carotid artery stenosis (>or=70%). Brain perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) using N-isopropyl-p-(123)I-iodoamphetamine and (123)I-IMZ SPECT were also performed before and after surgery. Data were analyzed using a three-dimensional stereotaxic region of interest template. RESULTS: Seven patients (9%) showed improvement in postoperative cognitive function. All the 7 patients exhibited both postoperative increase in blood flow in the ipsilateral cerebral cortex and resolution of CCH. Five patients (6%) had a postoperative hemispheric increase in (123)I-IMZ uptake, and cognitive function improved in all of these 5 patients. Analysis by a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to estimate the ability to discriminate between patients with and without postoperative cognitive improvement. The area under the ROC curve was significantly greater when analyzing the magnitude of postoperative resolution of CCH (0.991; 95% CI 0.984-1.001) or postoperative hemispheric increase in (123)I-IMZ uptake (0.981; 95% CI 0.972-0.999) when compared with the magnitude of postoperative increase in cerebral blood flow (0.929; 95% CI 0.886-0.971) (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Resolution of CCH and increase in (123)I-IMZ uptake in the ipsilateral cerebral cortex after CEA is associated with postoperative improvement in cognitive function. These results may indicate that cognitive impairment is related to a state of potentially reversible central benzodiazepine receptor downregulation in the cortex in response to transient ischemic attack or minor stroke. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
