Breaking Boundaries: Chronic Diseases and the Frontiers of Immune Microenvironments
ABSTRACT The immune microenvironment includes immune cells, cytokines, extracellular matrix, vesicles, etc. The interactions between these components form a unique local immune microecology. Although immunity serves as the defense against external pathogens, aberrant immune activation often contributes to disease development.

Thromboprophylaxis in atrial fibrillation and association with cognitive decline: systematic review [PDF]
Objective:Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is associated with dementia. If AF-related cognitive decline is driven by cerebral embolic events, thromboprophylaxis may impact on this.

This study identifies a significant association between accelerated biological aging, measured by clinical biomarker‐based KDM‐BA and PhenoAge accelerations, and an increased risk of stroke and its subtypes. The combination of accelerated biological aging with high genetic risk helps identify high‐risk populations on stroke development.

Cerebral Amyloid and Hypertension are Independently Associated with White Matter Lesions in Elderly. [PDF]
In cognitively normal (CN) elderly individuals, white matter hyperintensities (WMH) are commonly viewed as a marker of cerebral small vessel disease (SVD).

We sought to identify the cerebrospinal fluid protein (CSF) changes that are associated with the APOE4 genetic variant to better understand the vulnerability of APOE4 carriers to progress to Alzheimer's disease (AD) with age. To do this, we used machine learning and enrichment analyses to analyze 6082 proteins in the CSF of cognitively normal, mild ...

The prevalence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy in a historical epilepsy post‐mortem collection
In an archival epilepsy post‐mortem collection from last century, chronic traumatic encephalopathy identified in 15.7% was associated with traumatic brain injury. Alzheimer's disease neuropathology change was increased in late‐onset epilepsy but in 8% of cases with severe epilepsy there was no tau pathology found. Abstract Previous post‐mortem epilepsy

Intracranial Hemorrhage Due to Secondary Hypertension from Intracranial Large Vessel Occlusion [PDF]
Simultaneous hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes have been previously reported in the literature. Typically, these occur in patients secondary to dialysis, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, or thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.1,2,3 However, this is the unique

Correction of retinal angiopathy of hypertensive type by minoxidil, sildenafil in experiment [PDF]
For the study of retinoprotective properties of pharmacological agents a model of retinal angiopathy of hypertensive type was created against the background of N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) administration in a dose 12.5 mg/kg rat body weight ...

Complement dysregulation in human tauopathies
Complement protein and activation product levels were assessed in post‐mortem frontal cortex from three distinct subtypes of Tauopathy: Corticobasal degeneration, globular glial tauopathy, and Pick's disease. Quantification of complement proteins by immunohistochemistry and ELISA showed elevation of key complement proteins (C1q) regulators (FI) and ...

Interpretable classification of Alzheimer's disease pathologies with a convolutional neural network pipeline. [PDF]
Neuropathologists assess vast brain areas to identify diverse and subtly-differentiated morphologies. Standard semi-quantitative scoring approaches, however, are coarse-grained and lack precise neuroanatomic localization.
