Effects of Non‐Aspirin Nonsteroidal Anti‐Inflammatory Drugs on Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Despite celecoxib, a cyclooxygenase‐2 inhibitor, promoting functional recovery from intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) by reducing inflammation‐mediated perihematomal edema in rat models, the evidence of its effects on patient outcomes remains limited.

Regulating PPARG Reduces Lipid Accumulation in Microglia and Promotes Functional Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Macrophages infiltrate the spinal cord post‐injury, decreasing over time. Microglia phagocytose myelin debris, increasing lipid accumulation. Macrophage deletion improves outcomes, while microglial deletion worsens them. The LD+ microglia subtype shows abnormal Pparg signaling.

Contrecoup Head Injury

Indian Journal of Neurosurgery, 2017
Contrecoup injuries comprise a group of focal brain injuries that occur at areas distant from the point of impact. It has been hypothesized that patients with contrecoup injuries would have a worse outcome because of the diffuse nature of injury.

Clinically Inspired Multimodal Treatment Using Induced Neural Stem Cells‐Derived Exosomes Promotes Recovery of Traumatic Brain Injury through Microglial Modulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study explores the therapeutic potential of iNSC‐Exo via local and systemic delivery in TBI mice. It is found that iNSC‐Exo enhances NRXN signaling through Microglia_Nrg3 and Microglia_Rarb, effectively promoting functional and neurological recovery, suggesting a new therapeutic strategy for TBI. Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI) poses serious

Prognostic Utility of the Preoperative Cachexia Index in Patients Undergoing Emergency Laparotomy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
The preoperative cachexia index, incorporating muscle mass, nutritional status, and inflammation, predicts in‐hospital and one‐year mortality in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy. This simple index may aid in risk stratification and perioperative decision‐making in high‐risk surgical patients. ABSTRACT Aim Emergency laparotomy is associated with

The Scale of Neurodegeneration in Moderate‐to‐Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: A Systematic Review of Longitudinal Studies

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Synthesis of Literature: Neurodegeneration in Moderate‐Severe TBI. Objective Although moderate‐to‐severe traumatic brain injury (msTBI) was once considered a static neural event following resolution of acute injuries, numerous studies now demonstrate progressive losses to volume and white matter integrity in the months and years postinjury, leading to ...
