Lessons Learned From a Delayed‐Start Trial of Modafinil for Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Freezing of gait (FOG) in people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD) is debilitating and has limited treatments. Modafinil modulates beta/gamma band activity in the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN), like PPN deep brain stimulation. We therefore tested the hypothesis that Modafinil would improve FOG in PwPD.

Investigating the role of electroanatomical mapping in single‐shot pulsed field catheter ablation

Journal of Arrhythmia
Introduction Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a form of nonthermal energy that has been recently introduced for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). A multi‐electrode pentaspline catheter for delivery of PFA guided by fluoroscopy has become widely available for

The Prognostic Nutritional Index May Predict Left Atrial Appendage Thrombus or Dense Spontaneous Echo Contrast in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
ObjectivesThe prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is an independent predictor of adverse outcomes in patients with cardiovascular diseases. The presence of left atrial appendage thrombus (LAAT) or spontaneous echo contrast (SEC) is associated with ...

Perceptions About Asymptomatic Hyperuricemia and Views About Urate‐Lowering Therapy in People With Asymptomatic Hyperuricemia

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Asymptomatic hyperuricemia is a precursor of gout and is also associated with cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease. The aim of this study was to understand perceptions about asymptomatic hyperuricemia and views about urate‐lowering therapy in people with asymptomatic hyperuricemia. Methods Participants in a multinational study of

Response to Allopurinol and Febuxostat According to the Fractional Excretion of Urate in Men With Gout

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Body mass index (BMI), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and pretreatment urate levels have been reported to influence the urate‐lowering response to allopurinol. We investigated whether the fractional excretion of uric acid (FEUA) also modulates this response and relates to oxypurinol concentrations.

Potassium channel subunits encoded by the KCNE gene family: physiology and pathophysiology of the MinK-related peptides (MiRPs). [PDF]

, 2001
Voltage-gated potassium channels provide tightly Controlled, ion-specific pathways across membranes and are key to the normal function of nerves muscles. They arise from the assembly of four pore-forming proteins called alpha-subunits.
