Circulating Interleukin‐6 Levels and Timing of Acute Ischemic Stroke Onset

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intravenous thrombolysis is the most widely available effective ischemic stroke treatment, but is approved only if given within 4.5 h from stroke onset. Many patients are not treated because stroke onset time is unknown. We evaluated the cytokine interleukin 6 (IL‐6) in circulating blood after acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

Associations of Stroke With Risk of Epilepsy: Results From the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To estimate the risk of epilepsy associated with stroke in a community‐based cohort, with consideration of stroke type, number, and severity. Methods Data from 15,100 Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study participants without stroke at baseline (1987–1989) were analyzed through 12/31/2022.

Efgartigimod Combined With Steroid Treatment for HAM/TSP: A Case Report

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT HTLV‐1‐associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) is a progressive neurological disorder with limited treatment options. We report a 54‐year‐old female with decade‐long, progressive HAM/TSP, previously refractory to rituximab, who experienced worsening spastic paraparesis and neurogenic bladder dysfunction.

Longitudinal Relationship Between Pain and Depression in People With Inflammatory Arthritis: A Narrative Review

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
As many patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) have chronic pain, understanding how to best assess and manage pain in IA is a priority. Comorbid depression is prevalent in adults with IA, affecting 15% to 39% of people. Although pain and depression are thought to be associated in IA, this concept is largely based on cross‐sectional data.

Microbubble‐Controlled Delivery of Biofilm‐Targeting Nanoparticles to Treat MRSA Infection

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Here, an effective strategy using microbubble (MB)‐controlled delivery of biofilm‐targeting nanoparticles (BTNs) for removal and therapy of methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biofilm infections is introduced. In vivo delivery of MB with BTN is demonstrated to silence key bacterial genes involved in biofilm formation (icaA), bacterial ...
