OBJECTIVE: To investigate morphological predictors of neurological deterioration (ND) in patients with acute isolated pontine infarct. METHODS: Acute isolated pontine infarct patients within 7 days after onset of stroke symptoms were included retrospectively and classified into ND and non-ND groups. Morphological phenotypes (paramedian pontine infarct [PPI], atypical PPI, small deep infarct, and other types), topographical location, and lesion size were evaluated on axial diffusion-weighted imaging...

OBJECTIVES: Unstructured data present in electronic health records (EHR) is a rich source of medical information, however its abstraction is labor intensive. Automated EHR phenotyping (AEP) can reduce the need for manual chart review. We present an AEP model that is designed to automatically identify patients diagnosed with epilepsy. METHODS: The ground truth for model training and evaluation was captured from a combination of structured questionnaires filled out by physicians for a subset of patients and manual chart review using customized software...

Central Nervous System (CNS) embryonal tumors represent a heterogeneous group of highly aggressive tumors occurring preferentially in children but also described in adolescents and adults. In 2021, the CNS World Health Organization (WHO) classification drastically changed the diagnosis of the other CNS embryonal tumors including new histo-molecular tumor types. Here, we report a pediatric case of a novel tumor type among the other CNS embryonal tumors classified within the methylation class "CNS Embryonal Tumor with BRD4-LEUTX Fusion"...

BACKGROUND: Unilateral spatial neglect (USN) is a debilitating neuropsychological syndrome that often follows brain injury, in particular a stroke affecting the right hemisphere. In current clinical practice, the assessment of neglect is based on old-fashioned paper-and-pencil and behavioral tasks, and sometimes relies on the examiner's subjective judgment. Therefore, there is a need for more exhaustive, objective and ecological assessments of USN. METHODS: In this paper, we present two tasks in immersive virtual reality to assess peripersonal and extrapersonal USN...

New histological techniques are needed to examine protein distribution in human tissues, which can reveal cell shape and disease pathology connections. Spatial proteomics has changed the study of tumor microenvironments by identifying spatial relationships of immunomodulatory cells and proteins and contributing to the discovery of new cancer immunotherapy biomarkers. However, the fast-expanding toolkit of spatial proteomic approaches has yet to be systematically applied to investigate pathological alterations in the aging human brain in health and disease states...

Neuronal voltage changes which are dependent on chloride transporters and channels are involved in forming neural functions during early development and maintaining their stability until adulthood. The intracellular chloride concentration maintains a steady state, which is delicately regulated by various genes coding for chloride transporters and channels (GClTC) on the plasmalemma; however, the synergistic effect of these genes in central nervous system disorders remains unclear. In this study, we first defined 10 gene clusters with similar temporal expression patterns, and identified 41 GClTC related to brain developmental process...

In single subcortical infarction (SSI), changes in lesion size are a major determinant of early neurological deterioration. We evaluated the association between END and infarct growth velocity (IGV) in patients with SSI. We included consecutive patients with SSI who underwent MRI within 24 h of symptom onset between 2010 and 2020. END was defined as an increase of ≥ 2 in the total National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score or ≥ 1 in the motor NIHSS score. IGV was calculated using the following formula: IGV (mL/h) = diffusion-weighted imaging volume (mL)/time to MRI (h)...

The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has represented a major advance in cancer treatment. By enhancing endogenous immune responses to destroy cancer cells, ICIs can cause immune-related adverse events (irAEs), with possible involvement of any organ system. IrAEs are frequent, particularly those involving the skin or the endocrine system, and usually completely reversible after temporary immunosuppression, while neurological irAEs (n-irAEs) are relatively rare, often severe, and they carry a considerable risk of mortality and long-term disability...

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a powerful tool that can help physicians manage primary brain tumours at diagnosis and follow-up. In this context, PET imaging is used with three main types of radiotracers: 18 F-FDG, amino acid radiotracers, and 68 Ga conjugated to somatostatin receptor ligands (SSTRs). At initial diagnosis, 18 F-FDG helps to characterize primary central nervous system (PCNS) lymphomas and high-grade gliomas, amino acid radiotracers are indicated for gliomas, and SSTR PET ligands are indicated for meningiomas...

The suspicion of an origin of Parkinson's disease (PD) at the periphery of the body and the involvement of environmental risk factors in the pathogenesis of PD have directed the attention of the scientific community towards the microbiota. The microbiota represents all the microorganisms residing both in and on a host. It plays an essential role in the physiological functioning of the host. In this article, we review the dysbiosis repeatedly demonstrated in PD and how it influences PD symptoms. Dysbiosis is associated with both motor and non-motor PD symptoms...

BACKGROUND: Multiple randomized clinical trials have compared specific airway management strategies during ACLS with conflicting results. However, patients with refractory cardiac arrest died in almost all cases without the availability of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). Our aim was to determine if endotracheal intubation (ETI) was associated with improved outcomes compared to supraglottic airways (SGA) in patients with refractory cardiac arrest presenting for ECPR...

BACKGROUND: Survival following pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has improved over the past 2 decades but data on survivors' long-term outcomes are limited. We aimed to evaluate long-term outcomes in pediatric OHCA survivors more than one year after cardiac arrest. METHODS: OHCA survivors < 18 years old who received post-cardiac arrest care in the PICU at a single center between 2008 - 2018 were included. Parents of patients <18 years and patients ≥18 years at least one year after cardiac arrest completed a telephone interview...

Differences in sensory function have been documented for a number of neurodevelopmental conditions, including reading and language impairments. Prior studies have measured audiovisual multisensory integration (i.e., the ability to combine inputs from the auditory and visual modalities) in these populations. The present study sought to systematically review and quantitatively synthesize the extant literature on audiovisual multisensory integration in individuals with reading and language impairments. A comprehensive search strategy yielded 56 reports, of which 38 were used to extract 109 group difference and 68 correlational effect sizes...

Thrombocytopenia in the context of systemic sclerosis (SSc) is rare. It should primarily raise the possibility of scleroderma renal crisis. Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is another cause of low platelets that is common in systemic lupus erythematosus, but tremendously rare in patients with SSc. We herein report two cases of severe ITP in patients with SSc. The first case is a 29-year old woman with very low platelet counts (2 x 109 /L) that did not increase despite receiving corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulins (IVig), rituximab and romiplostim...

Reward learning is key to survival for individuals. Attention plays an important role in the rapid recognition of reward cues and establishment of reward memories. Reward history reciprocally guides attention to reward stimuli. However, the neurological processes of the interplay between reward and attention remain largely elusive, due to the diversity of the neural substrates that participate in these two processes. In this review, we delineate the complex and differentiated locus coeruleus norepinephrine (LC-NE) system in relation to different behavioral and cognitive substrates of reward and attention...

Reconsolidation results in the restabilisation, and thus persistence, of a memory made labile by retrieval, and interfering with this process is thought to enable modification or weakening of the original trace. As such, reconsolidation-blockade has been a focus of research aiming to target the maladaptive memories underlying mental health disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder and drug addiction. Current first-line therapies are not effective for all patients, and a substantial proportion of those for whom therapies are effective later relapse...
