A case-control study on the driving factors of childhood brain volume loss: What pediatricians must explore
Sungura, Richard; Shirima, Gabriel; Spitsbergen, John; Mpolya, Emmanuel; Vianney, John-Mary (PLOS ONE, 2022-12-30)Background The brain volume loss also known as brain atrophy is increasingly observed among children in the course of performing neuroimaging using CT scan and MRI brains. While severe forms of brain volume loss are ... -
Designing a novel method for brain volume quantification in investigating childhood brain atrophy and its functional effects
Sungura, Richard (NM-AIST, 2023-08)Brain atrophy is a result of volume loss commonly indicated by brain parenchyma separation from calvarium on neuroimaging. The prevalence of childhood brain atrophy has not been determined globally. Despite sporadic ... -
The extended scope of neuroimaging and prospects in brain atrophy mitigation: a systematic review
Sungura, Richard; Onyambu, Callen; Mpolya, Emmanuel; Sauli, Elingarami; Vianney, John-Mary (Elsevier B.V., 2020-08-15)Brain atrophy is a condition associated with a reduction of brain volume. It is a common manifestation of aging even though it occurs in some childhood conditions and carried forward to pre-senile middle age. There are ... -
The focused quantitative EEG bio-marker in studying childhood atrophic encephalopathy
Sungura, Richard; Shirima, Gabriel; Spitsbergen, John; Mpolya, Emmanuel; John‑Mary, Vianney (Springer Nature Limited, 2022-08-04)Although it is a normal involution process in advanced age, brain atrophy—also termed atrophic encephalopathy—can also occur prematurely in childhood as a consequential efect of brain tissues injury through trauma or ...
