Mitochondrial encephalopathy with lactic-acidosis and stroke-like episodes syndrome presenting as progressive supranuclear palsy
Clinical manifestations of MELAS are broad and include stroke-like episodes, myopathy, cardiomyopathy, headaches, hearing impairment, dementia, epilepsy, lactic acidemia, cyclic vomiting, diabetes, and short stature. Most cases of MELAS present early in childhood, with only 1 –6% presenting after the age of 40 [1]. Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a neurodegenerative disorder which can be mimicked by a variety of conditions, such as CADASIL, cerebrovascular disease, and autoimmune encephalitis [2].

Effects of Neurotrophic Factors in Glial Cells in the Central Nervous System: Expression and Properties in Neurodegeneration and Injury
Conclusion and Future Aspects This review summarizes available NTF expression data, compiles existing evidence on the effects of glial NTF signaling in healthy conditions and in disease models (Figure 1), and highlights the importance of this topic for future studies. The relationship between NTFs and glia is crucial for both the developing and adult brain. While some of these factors, such as NT-3 and CNTF, have highly potent effects on gliogenesis, others like BDNF and GDNF, are important for glia-mediated synapse formation. Neurotrophic factors play significant roles during neurodegenerative disorders. In many cases, ...

Neurological Involvement in Primary Systemic Vasculitis
Conclusion Neurological involvement is a common complication of PSV (Table 1), and neurologists play an important role in the identification and diagnosis of PSV patients with otherwise unexplained neurological symptoms as their chief complaint. This article summarizes the neurological manifestations of PSV and hopes to improve neuroscientists' understanding of this broad range of diseases. TABLE 1 Table 1. Common CNS and PNS involvements of primary systemic vasculitis. Author Contributions SZ conceived the article and wrote the manuscript. DY and GT reviewed and edited the manuscript. All authors ...

Clinical Manifestations and Mechanisms of Autoimmune Disease-Related Multiple Cerebral Infarcts.
In conclusion, our study revealed the characteristics of autoimmune disease-related stroke. For patients with multiple acute cerebral infarcts within non-single arterial territories, autoimmune disease is an important etiology not to be neglected. Multiple stroke mechanisms were involved in these cases. PMID: 31062611 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

High Prevalence of Moyamoya Syndrome in Appalachia
Conclusions: Moyamoya accounts for a substantial number of stroke admissions in Kentucky; these patients were more likely to develop an ischemic stroke rather than a hemorrhagic stroke. Autoimmune disorders were more prevalent in moyamoya patients than in the general population. The reduced frequency of traditional stroke risk factors within the Appalachian group suggests an etiology distinct to the population.Cerebrovasc Dis

Phagocytosis in the Brain: Homeostasis and Disease
Conclusions and Perspectives In this review we have summarized the critical role phagocytosis plays in both CNS homeostasis and disease. While much progress has been made in recent years, many unanswered questions remain. How phagocytosis in the CNS is influenced by numerous factors, such as microenvironment or phagocytic target, have yet to be fully resolved. Additionally, the utilization of novel technologies, including in vivo imaging techniques (217), iPSC-derived microglia (213) and high-throughput screens (66), will likely contribute to further identification of phagocytic pathways and consequences of phagocytosis w...

Cardiovascular events and risk in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus: Systematic literature review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: This meta-analysis found an increased risk of stroke, MI, CVD, and hypertension in patients with SLE compared with the general population, despite substantial heterogeneity across the included studies.PMID:36547368 | DOI:10.1177/09612033221147471

A pattern of brain activity may link stress to heart attacks
Conclusion This intriguing study sets out a possible pathway by which the effects of stress on the brain could translate into inflammation in the blood vessels, and so raise the risks of cardiovascular disease. This would help to explain why people living in stressful situations, or with illnesses such as depression and anxiety, are more at risk of heart attacks and strokes. However, there are important limitations to the study which mean we should treat the findings with caution. The main study of 293 people was relatively small for a long-term study looking at cardiovascular disease, and only 22 people had a cardiovascul...

Autoantibodies to Annexin A2 and cerebral thrombosis: Insights from a mouse model.
CONCLUSIONS: This study supports the hypothesis that auto-antibodies to ANXA2 are an independent risk factor for cerebral thrombosis. Consequently, we propose screening for anti-ANXA2 antibodies should be more widely used and patients that exhibit the manifestations of APS should be closely monitored by physicians.

Antiphospholipid syndrome-mediated acute cerebrovascular diseases and long-term outcomes
CONCLUSION: We found no differences between stroke subtypes and APS types. aPL profiles were not associated with any of the acute cerebrovascular diseases described in this cohort. CVT may be an initial thrombotic manifestation of APS with low mortality and good long-term functional outcome.PMID:35042376 | DOI:10.1177/09612033221074178

O-015 What can systemic and intracranial proteomic profiles tell us about why some TICI 3 patients do better than others?
In conclusion, intracranial and systemic proteomic differences in TICI 3 subjects may inform why some outcomes are superior to others. Preliminary data presented here provide a springboard for further investigation into how proteins may serve as prognostic biomarkers or therapeutic targets in a subset of MT subjects.Disclosures B.

Distinct lesion features and underlying mechanisms in patients with acute multiple infarcts in multiple cerebral territories
ConclusionThe etiologies and mechanisms of patients with AMIMCT were more complex than those without AMIMCT. The distribution characteristics of infarct lesions might have important implications for the identification of etiology and mechanism in the future, which could further guide and optimize clinical diagnostic strategies.
