Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Setting of Neurosarcoidosis

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT We report a case of a 59‐year‐old male with a history of hypertension, polycythemia, and optic neuritis, who presented with progressive visual loss, bilateral lower extremity weakness, and new‐onset urinary and fecal incontinence. MRI findings of leptomeningeal enhancements raised suspicion for neurosarcoidosis, leading to initial treatment ...

Pterostilbene Exhibits Broad‐Spectrum Antiviral Activity by Targeting the Enterovirus Capsid, Inactivating Viral Particles, Blocking Viral Binding, and Protecting Mice From Lethal EV‐A71 Challenge

Phytotherapy Research, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 2672-2688, June 2025.
Pterostilbene (Pte) binds to the VP1 hydrophobic pocket of enteroviruses, stabilizing the viral capsid and preventing uncoating and RNA release. In vitro, Pte inactivates virions and impairs viral attachment, entry, and replication. In vivo, oral administration of Pte in hSCARB2‐transgenic mice reduces clinical symptoms and improves survival ...
