Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by the degeneration of both upper and lower motor neurons, which ultimately leads to muscle weakness, atrophy, spasticity and contractures.1 ALS typically manifests in the 50–60 years age range, although familial cases may present in late adolescence or early adulthood.2 The time from the first symptom to diagnosis is approximately 10–16 […]

Brain-age biomarkers can be used to predict post-stroke recovery. Dr Martin Bretzner (Lille Neuroscience & Cognition Research Centre, Lille University Hospital, Lille, France) discusses the results of a study using radiomics, an emerging image-quantifying technology to assess ‘brain-age’ biomarkers. The study investigates how relative brain age, rather than chronological age, can enhance stroke surveillance and improve predictions on post-stroke recovery.

The abstract entitled “‘Brain-age’ biomarkers predict stroke recovery more accurately than chronological age, new study shows” was presented at the 8th European Stroke Organisation Conference, May 4-6, 2022.

Questions:

  1. Could you give us a brief overview of radiomics and its potential uses? (0:26)
  2. What was the rationale for the study you are presenting? (1:00)
  3. What was the methodology and eligibility criteria of the study? (2:09)
  4. What were the findings in terms of the impact of ‘brain age’ on stroke recovery, and what factors influenced brain age? (3:11)
  5. How can these findings be used in routine clinical practice? (4:05)

Disclosures: Martin Bretzner has nothing to disclose in relation to this video interview.

Support: Interview and filming supported by Touch Medical Media. Interview conducted by Danielle Crosby.

Filmed as a highlight of ESOC 2022
