Characterization of Clinical Phenotype to Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein Concentrations in Alexander Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 6, Page 1206-1221, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To determine the concentration of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma in Alexander disease (AxD) and whether GFAP levels are predictive of disease phenotypes. Methods CSF and plasma were collected (longitudinally when available) from AxD participants and non‐AxD controls.

Hot‐Film and Calorimetric Methods With Transient Heating for Measurement of High Biofluid Flow Rate

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 50, 22 June 2026.
Accurate measurement of biofluid flow rate is vital for clinical diagnostics. We propose a transient heating strategy using short thermal pulses and peak temperature tracking to enhance the flow sensitivity of the hot‐Film and calorimetric methods. Simulations show how optimal heating time maximizes sensitivity across flow rates.

Sex differences in brain glucose metabolism and Alzheimer's disease risk and progression

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Sex differences are increasingly recognized as central to the biology of Alzheimer's disease (AD), yet the mechanisms through which they shape brain metabolism and disease vulnerability remain incompletely understood. Brain glucose hypometabolism is a core hallmark of AD and emerges decades before clinical decline, but accumulating evidence ...

Neurocognitive Aging Following Acute Illness: Pathobiology and a Framework for Developing Neurotherapeutic Agents

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
In this review, we discuss the scientific basis for how neurocognitive aging occurs after critical illness, including sepsis, trauma, and burns, and the clinical need to develop therapies to reduce inflammation, protect the blood–brain barrier, remove senescent cells, and enhance neuroplasticity.

A retrospective study of central nervous system shunt infections diagnosed in a university hospital during a 4-year period

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2006
Background Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunts are used for intracranial pressure management and temporary cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage. Infection of the central nervous system (CNS) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with CSF ...

Trapped Fourth Ventricle in a Pediatric Patient With a History of Post‐Traumatic Hydrocephalus and Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt: A Case Report and Literature Review

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Trapped fourth ventricle (TFV) is a rare, serious complication of ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunting that can mimic posterior fossa tumors and cause life‐threatening brainstem compression. We report the case of a 7‐year‐old boy with a history of a VP shunt for post‐traumatic hydrocephalus who presented with progressive drowsiness and gait ...
