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.

Brugada Syndrome and GPD1L: Definite Genotype-Phenotype Association?

Cardiogenetics
The GPD1L gene encodes a small cytoplasmic protein that is involved in the regulation of sodium currents. Alterations in this gene have been associated with Brugada syndrome.

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

Left ventricular perforation by a chest tube: Case report and review of complications

Heart Vessels and Transplantation
Objective: The placement of a chest tube to resolve pleural effusion, pneumothorax or as a diagnostic method is a relatively common invasive procedure in the emergency room and hospitalization area, which is not inherent to presenting complications.

Response to allopurinol and febuxostat according to the fractional excretion of urate in men with gout

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Background 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 urate (FEUA) also modulates this response and relates to oxypurinol concentrations. We further evaluated its potential influence

A Computational Journey Toward an Optimal Design for Metamaterial Epicardial Passive Sleeves

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Passive epicardial sleeves are evaluated in 3D in‐silico heart models to reveal how sleeve geometry, stiffness, anisotropy, and metamaterial architecture influence cardiac mechanics after myocardial infarction. A continuum‐to‐auxetic design exploration shows that region‐specific mechanical engagement can reduce infarct bulging and modulate torsional ...

Mechanical and Electrical Phenotype of hiPSC‐Cardiomyocytes on Fibronectin‐Based Hydrogels

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
We introduce fibronectin‐based PEG hydrogels with controlled rigidity to enable the culture of iPSC‐derived cardiomyocytes. These substrates offer an alternative to the current culture of these cells on fibronectin‐coated glass, providing enhanced structural and functional behavior. The system provides a more physiologically relevant platform to assess
