| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purposes of this project are: 1) to develop a method of analyzing brain injury by using novel MR techniques; 2) to elucidate pathogenesis of delayed encephalopathy after carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning; and 3) to propose standardized therapeutic strategies for CO poisoning. This report overviews the results of this project as follows. Firstly, we developed new methods of analyzing brain injury using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy and diffusion tensor imaging, and applied these methods to various neurological disease including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, myotonic dystrophy, and acute brain stroke. Secondly, we analyzed relationship between clinical severity of patients with CO poisoning and the number of times of hyperbaric oxygen therapy that the patients had received.
