Association of Corticospinal Tract Asymmetry With Ambulatory Ability After Intracerebral Hemorrhage
ABSTRACT Background Ambulatory ability after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is important to patients. We tested whether asymmetry between ipsi‐ and contra‐lesional corticospinal tracts (CSTs) assessed by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is associated with post‐ICH ambulation.

Overexpression of apoC-I in apoE-null mice
Apolipoprotein C-I (apoC22222222246) has been proposed to act primarily via interference with apoE-mediated lipoprotein uptake. To define actions of apoC-I that are independent of apoE, we crossed a moderately overexpressing human apoC-I transgenic ...

Hospital Readmission After Traumatic Brain Injury Hospitalization in Community‐Dwelling Older Adults
ABSTRACT Objective To examine the risk of hospital readmission after an index hospitalization for TBI in older adults. Methods Using data from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study, we used propensity score matching of individuals with an index TBI‐related hospitalization to individuals with (1) non‐TBI hospitalizations (primary analysis)

Atorvastatin’s Therapeutic Potential in Atherosclerosis: Inhibiting TGF-β-Induced Proteoglycan Glycosaminoglycan Chain Elongation through ROS-ERK1/2-Smad2L Signaling Pathway Modulation in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells [PDF]
Objective: According to the response-to-retention hypothesis, the inception of atherosclerosis is attributed to thedeposition and retention of lipoprotein in the arterial intima, facilitated by altered proteoglycans with hyperelongatedglycosaminoglycan ...

Mild and moderate pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease is associated with increased coronary artery calcium. [PDF]
BackgroundIt is increasingly evident that patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are more likely to die from heart disease than kidney failure. This study evaluated whether pre- dialysis CKD is an independent risk factor for coronary artery calcium ...

ABSTRACT Background Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by antibody‐mediated complement activation. Efgartigimod, a neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) antagonist, is approved for treating generalized MG (gMG). However, its modulatory effects on upstream innate and adaptive immune cells remain largely unexplored.
