Regulation of the p53 ‑mediated ferroptosis signaling pathway in cerebral ischemia stroke (Review)
Exp Ther Med. 2023 Jan 26;25(3):113. doi: 10.3892/etm.2023.11812. eCollection 2023 Mar.ABSTRACTStroke is one of the most threatening diseases worldwide, particularly in countries with larger populations; it is associated with high morbidity, mortality and disability rates. As a result, extensive research efforts are being made to address these issues. Stroke can include either hemorrhagic stroke (blood vessel ruptures) or ischemic stroke (blockage of an artery). Whilst the incidence of stroke is higher in the elderly population (≥65), it is also increasing in the younger population. Ischemic stroke accounts for ~85% of a...

Malignant melanoma - the most severe skin cancer and neurological pathology.
CONCLUSIONS: Neurological involvement in MM encompasses a myriad of variants and while the clinical setting varies from one patient to another, an underlining neoplasia should be evaluated in suspected patients. PMID: 32239096 [PubMed - in process]

Effect of mild hypothermia on expression of inflammatory factors in surrounding tissue after minimally invasive hematoma evacuation in the treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.
Authors: Zhao J, Mao Q, Qian Z, Zhu J, Qu Z, Wang C Abstract Mild hypothermia combined with minimally invasive hematoma evacuation was evaluated in the treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage to reduce inflammatory response of brain tissue around hematoma and ameliorate brain function, and to investigate its safety, effectiveness and feasibility. A total of 206 patients with acute spontaneous hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage were collected clinically and randomly divided into minimally invasive hematoma evacuation group (group A) and mild hypothermia combined with minimally invasive hematoma evacuat...

Predictors of early infection in cerebral ischemic stroke.
CONCLUSION: Patients with older age, tube feeding, lower conscious level, worse baseline stroke severity, large cerebral infarcts in CT scan, and increased IL-10 serum level were more susceptible to infection. The baseline serum level of IL-10 ≥ 14.5 pg/ ml and the size of infarct area > 3.5 cm3 were the independent predictors of PSI. PMID: 27453748 [PubMed - in process]

Should they have a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy? The importance of assessing decision-making capacity and the central role of a multidisciplinary team.
Abstract Decisions about percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) can be clinically and ethically challenging, particularly when patients lack decision-making capacity. As the age of the UK population rises, with the associated increase in prevalence of dementias and neurodegenerative diseases, it is becoming an increasingly important issue for clinicians. The recent review and subsequent withdrawal of the Liverpool Care Pathway highlighted feeding as a particular area of concern. The authors undertook a 1-year retrospective review of individuals referred to the feeding issues multidisciplinary team (FIMDT) at Ad...
