Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition prevents L-dopa-induced dyskinesia in a 6-OHDA-induced mouse model of Parkinson's disease
In conclusion, co-treatment with ACEIs and L-dopa, such as perindopril, captopril, and enalapril, may mitigate the severity of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in a mouse model of PD.PMID:38642669 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejphar.2024.176573 (Source: European Journal of Pharmacology)

Structural Lung Disease and Clinical Phenotype in Bronchiectasis Patients: The EMBARC CT Study
CONCLUSION: Patients with bronchiectasis have highly heterogeneous type and extent of structural lung abnormalities. Strong relationships between radiological disease and clinical features suggest CT analysis may be a useful tool for clinical phenotyping.PMID:38635862 | DOI:10.1164/rccm.202311-2109OC (Source: Am J Respir Crit Car...)

Stepwise genetic approach for the diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia in highly consanguineous populations
Conclusions In highly consanguineous regions, a stepwise genetic testing approach is recommended. This approach may be particularly useful in areas where the ability to obtain confirmatory diagnostic tests through other modalities is less accessible. (Source: Archives of Disease in Childhood)

Clinical features, cerebrospinal fluid changes, and prognosis in Chinese patients with autoimmune encephalitis
ConclusionThere are differences in age, gender, clinical characteristics, and CSF results in different subtypes of AE. First-line therapy failure would have poor functional recovery, and delayed therapy would increase the risk of relapse. Chloride ion content and white blood cell count in cerebrospinal fluid are positively correlated with the patient's exacerbation and admission to ICU. These indicators have certain clinical value for the prognosis of AE patients. (Source: Acta Neurologica Belgica)

Recessively Inherited Deficiency of Secreted WFDC2 (HE4) Causes Nasal Polyposis and Bronchiectasis
CONCLUSIONS: WFDC2 dysfunction defines a novel molecular etiology of bronchiectasis characterized by the deficiency of a secreted component of the airways.
