Web-based psychoeducational interventions for managing cognitive impairment –a systematic review
ConclusionWeb-based cognitive intervention programs are a new approach to rehabilitation and patient education. The evidence, although scarce, shows that web-based interventions are feasible and support subjective cognitive functioning. However, the literature to date is extremely limited and the quality of the studies is weak. More research with high-quality study designs is needed.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?RecordID=257315, identifier: CRD42021257315.

Finding Power in My Panic Attacks
Trouble started in the form of rivulets of sweat dampening the waistband of my underwear. It was a bluebird afternoon in Phoenix in December of 2020, mid 60s, desert dry, and my heart was jackhammering against my ribcage. Breathing felt like I was sucking air through a stir straw. A small ABC News crew was arrayed before me, ready to broadcast the report I’d written that day, but with my vision narrowed to a needle’s eye, I could barely see them. I tried to swallow away the sandiness in my mouth but realized I’d forgotten how.

Assessment and tailored physical rehabilitation approaches in persons with cerebellar impairments targeting mobility and walking according to the International Classification of Functioning: a systematic review of case-reports and case-series
CONCLUSIONS: A comprehensive test battery to encompass the key features of a PwCI on different levels of the ICF is needed to manage heterogeneity. Measures on body function level should be included in interventions.PMID:37639546 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2023.2248886

This study aimed to investigate the association between frailty index and circulating CAP2 concentration in 467 community-dwelling older adults (median age: 79; range: 65-92 years). The selected robust regression model showed that circulating CAP2 concentration was not associated with chronological age, as well as sex and education. However, circulating CAP2 concentration was significantly and inversely associated with the frailty index: a 0.1-unit increase in frailty index leads to ~0.5-point mean decrease in CAP2 concentration. Furthermore, mean CAP2 concentration was significantly lower in frail participants (i.e., fr...

Detection of Ferroptosis in Models of Brain Diseases
Methods Mol Biol. 2023;2712:233-251. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-3433-2_21.ABSTRACTFerroptosis is a regulated form of non-apoptotic cell death driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. In the past decade, ferroptosis has been reported to be involved in the pathological role in the central nervous system degenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and Parkinson's disease), stroke, traumatic brain injury, and brain tumor. However, how to reliably detect and classify ferroptosis from other cell death in pathological conditions remains a great challenge, especially in primary brain cells and brain ti...

Emergency decompressive surgery in patients with transtentorial brain herniation and pupillary abnormalities: the importance of improved pupillary response after osmotherapy and surgery
CONCLUSIONS: With aggressive medical and surgical management, patients with transtentorial brain herniation, including those with bilaterally fixed and dilated pupils, may have considerable rates of survival and functional recovery. Young age, less midline shift, and improved pupillary response following osmotic therapy or decompressive surgery are favorable prognosticators.PMID:37548576 | DOI:10.3171/2023.5.JNS23163

Development of microRNA-based therapeutics for central nervous system diseases
Eur J Pharmacol. 2023 Aug 2:175956. doi: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2023.175956. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMicroRNA (miRNA)-mediated gene silencing is a method of RNA interference in which a miRNA binds to messenger RNA sequences and regulates target gene expression. MiRNA-based therapeutics have shown promise in treating a variety of central nervous system diseases, as verified by results from diverse preclinical model organisms. Over the last decade, several miRNA-based therapeutics have entered clinical trials for various kinds of diseases, such as tumors, infections, and inherited diseases. However, such clinical trials for ...

In this study, we tested the hypothesis that periodontal disease (PD) as a source of infection alters inflammatory activation and Aβ phagocytosis by the microglial cells.
Experimental PD was induced using ligatures in C57BL/6 mice for 1, 10, 20, and 30 days to assess the progression of PD. Animals without ligatures were used as controls. Ligature placement caused progressive periodontal disease and bone resorption that was already significant on day 1 post-ligation and continued to increase until day 30. The severity of periodontal disease increased the frequency of activated microglia in the brains on day 30 by 36...
