eGFR slope as predictor of mortality in heart failure patients

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1217-1226, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Heart failure (HF) leads to an imbalance between heart and kidney function, resulting in poor outcomes. However, the prognostic significance of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) trajectory in HF patients remains unclear. We analysed electronic health records (EHRs) of real‐world HF patients, assessing eGFR trajectories and ...

Glymphatic dysfunction couples with cortical excitation–inhibition imbalance in epilepsy: Evidence from Rasmussen encephalitis

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Cong Fu et al. demonstrate that glymphatic system dysfunction is linked to enhanced inhibitory cortical activity using diffusion MRI and EEG. These findings highlight a mechanistic link between perivascular fluid dynamics and neuronal activity, suggesting a role for glymphatic function in maintaining cortical stability in epilepsy.

Intestinal microbiome alterations in pediatric epilepsy: Implications for seizures and therapeutic approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The intestinal microbiome plays a pivotal role in maintaining host health through its involvement in gastrointestinal, immune, and central nervous system (CNS) functions. Recent evidence underscores the bidirectional communication between the microbiota, the gut, and the brain and the impact of this axis on neurological diseases, including ...

Evaluating the impact of an AI‐powered chatbot on epilepsy education and stigma reduction: A pre‐post intervention study using EpiloBot

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Effective epilepsy management requires accurate epilepsy knowledge, active patient engagement, and stigma reduction to improve health outcomes. Educational interventions have been shown to enhance patients' quality of life (QOL) and knowledge. This study evaluated the effectiveness of EpiloBot, an artificial intelligence (AI)‐powered

Disrupted Brain Structure and Function in Alzheimer's Disease Patients With Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) are highly prevalent in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. This study aims to elucidate the neuropathological mechanisms underlying BPSD by investigating gray matter volume (GMV) and brain connectivity in AD patients with and without BPSD.
