Diagnostic pathway for cardiac amyloidosis from the healthcare professional’s perspective: results from the French DIAM-ATTR survey

Annals of Medicine
Background Diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is complex and implicates several medical specialists. CA is usually suspected based on symptoms (‘red flags’) and non-invasive imagery.

Serum Neurofilament Light Chain and GFAP in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis on a Commercial ECLIA Platform

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), SIMOA‐based studies show that baseline serum neurofilament light chain (NfL) predicts the revised ALS Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS‐R) decline rate and survival. The Roche Elecsys electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) reports values approximately six‐fold lower; cross‐platform ...

Poor outcome after liver transplantation for transthyretin amyloid neuropathy in a family with an Ala36Pro transthyretin mutation: Case report [PDF]

Liver Transplantation, 2010
Transthyretin amyloid polyneuropathy, caused by mutations in the transthyretin gene, is a progressive condition for which liver transplantation is an established treatment. Favorable outcomes have been described in patients with the most common transthyretin mutation, Val30Met, but outcomes have been variable in patients with ...

Repurposing antimicrobial agents for neuroprotection: Mechanisms, clinical potential, and challenges

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial agents exert neuroprotective effects through modulation of interconnected pathways. Tetracyclines, macrolides, antimalarial agents, sulfones, and antiparasitic agents suppress neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis while preserving mitochondrial function and neurotransmission.

Eprodisate for the treatment of renal disease in AA amyloidosis [PDF]

, 2007
Background: Amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis is a complication of chronic inflammatory conditions that develops when proteolytic fragments of serum amyloid A protein (SAA) are deposited in tissues as amyloid fibrils.

Quality of life following liver transplantation: a comparative study between Familial Amyloid Neuropathy and liver disease patients [PDF]

BMC Gastroenterology, 2009
It has been demonstrated in many studies that quality of life can be improved after liver transplantation in patients with liver disease. Nevertheless, quality of life improvement in specific groups of transplanted patients such as those with Familial Amyloid Polyneuropathy has not yet been explored.

Neurotrophic Signaling, Sleep Physiology, and Retinal Neuroprotection: Integrative Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications for Glaucoma

Sensory Neuroscience, EarlyView.
Glaucoma is increasingly understood as a neurodegenerative disorder shaped by sleep and circadian physiology, not intraocular pressure alone. Sleep loss and obstructive sleep apnea suppress BDNF–TrkB neurotrophic signaling, impair sleep‐dependent glymphatic clearance, and trigger microglial neuroinflammation and vascular insult at the optic nerve head,

Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy in France: A cross-sectional multi-centre study (333 patients)

Rare
Aims: We designed a two-part epidemiological study, an observatory for amyloid transthyretin amyloidosis (OBSAMYL). The first objective was to identify and count the number of patients diagnosed with ATTR amyloidosis in participating French centres.

Gut microbiota dysbiosis in the inflammatory pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy

VIEW, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates how gut dysbiosis drives diabetic retinopathy through the gut‐retina axis, a process unfolding in three interconnected stages. First, in the gut, a decrease in beneficial bacteria and an increase in pro‐inflammatory taxa compromise the intestinal barrier, causing a “leaky gut” that allows LPS to translocate into the ...

Fibril fragmentation in amyloid assembly and cytotoxicity: When size matters [PDF]

, 2010
Amyloid assemblies are associated with several debilitating human disorders. Understanding the intra- and extracellular assembly of normally soluble proteins and peptides into amyloid aggregates and how they disrupt normal cellular functions is therefore
