How John Fetterman Came Out of the Darkness
When he looks back on the past year—a year in which he nearly died, became a U.S. Senator, and nearly died again—it is the debate that John Fetterman identifies as the ­breaking point. “The debate lit the mitch,” he says, then shakes his head in frustration and tries again. The right word is there in his brain, but he struggles to get it out. “Excuse me, that should be lit the mitch—” He stops and tries again. “Lit the match,” he says finally. Oct. 25, 2022: the date is lodged in his mind. “I knew I had to do it,” he tells me. “I knew that the vote...

Arsenic, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and metal exposure and risk assessment of stroke
This study aimed to assess different arsenic species, including total arsenic; two types of organic arsenic, i.e., arsenobetaine and arsenocholine; four types of inorganic arsenic, i.e., arsenic acid, arsenous acid, dimethylarsinic acid (DMA), and monomethylarsonic acid (MMA); six types of urinary polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compounds, i.e., 1-hydroxynaphthalene, 1-hydroxyphenanthrene, 1-hydroxypyrene, 2-hydroxynaphthalene, 2-hydroxyfluorene, and 3-hydroxyfluorene; and fourteen types of metals from urine specimen, i.e., manganese, cadmium, lead, mercury, barium, cobalt, strontium, molybdenum, cesium, thallium, an...

Deiodinases, organic anion transporter polypeptide polymorphisms and ischemic stroke outcomes
Ischemic stroke is a major cause of premature death and chronic disability worldwide, and individual variation in functional outcome is strongly influenced by genetic factors. Neuroendocrine signaling by the hypothalamic −hypophyseal−thyroid axis is a critical regulator of post-stroke pathogenesis, suggesting that allelic variants in thyroid hormone (TH) signaling can influence stroke outcome.Aim: To examine associations between acute ischemic stroke (AIS) outcome and allelic variants of the TH metabolizing enzy mes deiodinase type 1–3 (DIO1–3) and membrane transporting organic anion polypeptide C1 (OATP1C1).

"Tho' much is taken, much abides": A Good Life within Dementia.
Abstract In writing these essays, we were asked to consider, "What makes a good life in late life?" I thought instantly, perhaps like many people, of photos and stories of older people taking up new careers and new hobbies-running marathons and soup kitchens, starting organic farms. This response is right and proper. Older people can leverage wisdom and creativity to make wonderful contributions to their communities and should be celebrated for doing so. But this happy picture is incomplete. We live longer than ever before, and with that long life, many of us can expect disability. This is the product of medical s...

Cotard's Syndrome Triggered by Fear in a Patient with Intellectual Disability: Causal or Casual Link?
Authors: Sottile F, De Luca R, Bonanno L, Finzi G, Casella C, Calabrò RS Abstract Cotard's syndrome is a neuropsychiatric disease characterized by a variety of nihilistic delusions, commonly associated with several psychotic and major affective disorders, and neurological diseases, including stroke, dementia, and mental retardation. A 39-year-old male with mental retardation developed Cotard's syndrome, following an important episode of fear. During admission to our neurological unit, the patient underwent an accurate assessment, including neuroradiological, clinical, and neuropsychological examinations. At the ps...

Urine Arsenic and Arsenic Metabolites in U.S. Adults and Biomarkers of Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, and Endothelial Dysfunction: A Cross-Sectional Study
Conclusion: In a cross-sectional study of U.S. adults, we observed some positive associations of uAs and toenail As concentrations with biomarkers potentially relevant to CVD pathogenesis and inflammation, and evidence of a higher capacity to metabolize inorganic As was negatively associated with a marker of oxidative stress. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP2062 Received: 14 April 2017 Revised: 13 November 2017 Accepted: 15 November 2017 Published: 15 December 2017 Address correspondence to S.F.
