G-CSF or not G-CSF? That is the question [PDF]
Bone Marrow Transplantation, 2004 Although administration of myeloid colony-stimulating factors (G-CSF or GM-CSF) has been routinely used to increase the rate of neutrophil recovery, evidence suggests that clinical efficacy in the transplant setting is doubtful (Table 1). We performed two consecutive prospective randomized trials to assess the use of G-CSF (filgrastim) after autologous

Diagnostic approach to autoimmune encephalitis (ORP-15) [PDF]
Neurology Letters, 2023 Autoimmune encephalitis is the commonest form of non_infectious encephalitis. It occurs secondary to three groups autoantibodies targeting neural epitopes like: neuronal cell surface proteins (e.g., as NMDAR, LGI1, and CASPR2, GABABR and AMPAR, Synaptic ...

CSF lactate dehydrogenase activity in patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease exceeds that in other dementias [PDF]
, 2004 The diagnosis of Creutzfeldt- Jakob disease (CJD) is still made by exclusion of other dementias. We now evaluated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as a possible additional diagnostic tool. CSF LDH levels of patients with CJD (

CSF concentrations of cAMP and cGMP are lower in patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease but not Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. [PDF]
, 2012 The cyclic nucleotides cyclic adenosine-3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine-3',5'-monophosphate (cGMP) are important second messengers and are potential biomarkers for Parkinson's disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and ...

G-CSF Prevents the Progression of Structural Disintegration of White Matter Tracts in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: A Pilot Trial [PDF]
, 2011 Background: The hematopoietic protein Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) has neuroprotective and regenerative properties. The G-CSF receptor is expressed by motoneurons, and G-CSF protects cultured motoneuronal cells from apoptosis.
