Circulating Claudin-5 Correlates with Age and Alzheimer's Disease
In this study, we developed a blood-based assay for CLDN-5 and investigated its diagnostic utility using 100 cognitively normal (control) subjects, 100 patients with MCI, and 100 patients with AD. Plasma CLDN-5 levels were increased in patients with AD (3.08 ng/mL) compared with controls (2.77 ng/mL).
The BBB functions as a selective gate for the uptake of essential molecules from blood into the brain and the excretion of harmful molecules from the brain into blood via transporters and receptors on cellular membranes. In addition, the BBB prevents the influx of blood-borne neurotoxins, cells, and pathogens into the ...

Acute dyspnea in an older woman, is it OMI?
Written by Willy FrickA woman in her 90s with a history of end stage renal disease and complete heart block status post dual chamber pacemaker presented from home with acute onset dyspnea. ECG is shown below.What do you think?The ST and T wave abnormalities jump off the page, but let ' s set that aside just for a moment to review the tracing systematically. The rate is 60 (and remember, slower heart rates are often seen in OMI). Close inspection revealsventricular pacing spikes, best seen in aVL. Many ECG readers will not comment any further on rhythm once ventricular pacing has been identified, but it...

TL:DR – I have dozens of songs and instrumentals for you to download or stream through my BandCamp page right now.
Although, I’m probably best known as a professional science writer and an amateur wildlife photographer, when I’m not involved in those you might catch me singing and playing live with my band, C5 Website/Facebook, or in our community a choir (TyrannoChorus). You can hear my latest solo and collaborative recorded music on BandCamp and SoundCloud. Some of my stuff is on Spotify and iTunes too, including a few cover songs. As of 30th July 2023, Mrs Sciencebase and myself are also now veterans ...

The Sweet Spot of Health Care Cost Containment
BY BEN WHEATLEY
As health care continues to move in the direction of unaffordability, policy makers are considering a range of options to bring down health care costs. The Health Affairs Committee on Health Care Spending and Value has identified four broad areas for reform, including administrative savings, price regulation and supports for competition, spending growth targets, and value-based payment. These measures appropriately target health care’s supply side and the excesses that exist in the health care system.
In this blog, I would like to highlight another avenue for savings: one that focuses on the demand ...

Epsilon Wave
Epsilon wave, the classical ECG finding in arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is seen at the end of the QRS complex. Epsilon wave is typically seen in right precordial leads though it has been noted in left precordial leads in those with left ventricular involvement. ARVD is better termed arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy because of the possibility of left ventricular involvement. Epsilon wave represents the delayed activation of surviving islands of myocardium within the fibrofatty tissue in ARVD [1]. Some have called it as a ‘post excitation’ wave, as a corollary to the delta wave in pre excitation.

A 60 year old with chest pain
CONCLUSION:Take another LOOK at Figure-1. It was after Dr. Smith suggested repeating the initial ECG after repositioning the LL electrode — that ECG #2 was recorded.In your mind ' s eye — Wouldn ' t ECG #1 look like ECG #2 if we took away the artifactual deflections highlighted in RED, BLUE and GREEN?That said — there is nonspecific ST-T wave flattening in multiple leads of ECG #2, as well as T wave inversion in lead V2. There are also fairly large U waves in leads V3 and V4. Finally — significant baseline artifact persists in leads II and III of ECG #2, s...
