Higher hippocampal diffusivity values in welders are associated with greater R2 in the red nucleus and lower psychomotor performance

Chronic excessive welding exposure may be related to higher metal accumulation and structural differences in different subcortical structures. We examined how welding affected brain structures and their associations with metal exposure and neurobehavioral consequences. Study includes 42 welders and...

description Chronic excessive welding exposure may be related to higher metal accumulation and structural differences in different subcortical structures. We examined how welding affected brain structures and their associations with metal exposure and neurobehavioral consequences. Study includes 42 welders and 31 controls without a welding history. Welding-related structural differences were assessed by volume and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) metrics in basal ganglia, red nucleus (RN), and hippocampus. Metal exposure was estimated by both exposure questionnaires and whole blood metal levels. Brain metal accumulations were estimated by R1 (for Mn) and R2* (for Fe). Neurobehavioral status was assessed by standard neuropsychological tests. Compared to controls, welders displayed higher hippocampal mean (MD), axial (AD), and radial diffusivity (RD) (p’s  0.117). Welders had higher blood metal levels (p’s
