Nerve Excitability in Asymptomatic Carriers and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Patients With C9orf72

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective We investigated the effects of C9orf72 mutation carriership on peripheral nerve excitability in asymptomatic individuals from families with a history of C9orf72 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and patients. Methods We included 47 asymptomatic individuals from families with a history of C9orf72 ALS, of whom 23 were carriers (C9 ...

The Impact of Tilburg Frailty on Poststroke Fatigue in First‐Ever Stroke Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study With Unified Measurement Tools and Improved Statistics

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Poststroke fatigue (PSF) and frailty share substantial overlap in their manifestations, yet previous research has yielded conflicting results due to the use of heterogeneous frailty assessment tools. Objective To evaluate the independent impact of frailty on PSF using a unified measurement system (Tilburg Frailty Indicator, TFI ...

Systemic T Cell Receptor Profiling Reveals Adaptive Immune Activation and Potential Immune Signatures of Diagnosis and Brain Atrophy in Epilepsy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Epilepsy is increasingly associated with immune dysregulation and inflammation. The T cell receptor (TCR), a key mediator of adaptive immunity, shows repertoire alterations in various immune‐mediated diseases. The unique TCR sequence serves as a molecular barcode for T cells, and clonal expansion accompanied by reduced overall TCR ...

Real‐World Investigation of Satralizumab in Patients With Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Satralizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting the interleukin‐6 receptor, has demonstrated efficacy in clinical trials for neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). However, its real‐world effectiveness and safety compared to conventional immunosuppressive therapies remain uncertain.

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.

"Improving Small Sample Properties of the Empirical Likelihood Estimation" [PDF]

We propose to use a simple modification of the maximum empirical likelihood (MEL) method for estimating structural equation in econometrics. The modified estimator improves both the asymptotic bias and the mean squared error of the MEL estimator in the ...

Adjusted quasi-profile likelihoods from estimating functions [PDF]

, 2005
Higher-order adjustments for a quasi-profile likelihood for a scalar parameter of interest in the presence of nuisance parameters are discussed. Paralleling likelihood asymptotics, these adjustments aim to alleviate some of the problems inherent to the ...
