Influence of Dystrophin Isoform Deficiency on Motor Development in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
ABSTRACT Objective In Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), lack of the shorter dystrophin isoforms Dp140 and Dp71 is associated with increased central nervous system (CNS) involvement. We aimed to investigate how CNS involvement affects motor development in young DMD boys.

The Diagnostic Value of Visual Evoked Potentials in Chronic Disorders of Consciousness
ABSTRACT Objective In chronic disorders of consciousness (DOCs), the distinction between vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (VS/UWS) and minimally conscious state (MCS) is as crucial as it is challenging. Evoked potentials (EPs) and event‐related potentials (ERPs) are helpful, but some limitations prevent their consistent use in the ...

La objetividad del azar en un mundo determinista
This paper deals with the notion of objective randomness in classical deterministic theories. After the introduction, section 2 establishes an important distinction between a strictly metaphysical thesis of determinism (as characterized in the Montague ...

ABSTRACT Objective Reliable biomarkers are essential for tracking disease progression and advancing treatments for multiple system atrophy (MSA). In this study, we propose the MSA Atrophy Index (MSA‐AI), a novel composite volumetric measure to distinguish MSA from related disorders and monitor disease progression. Methods Seventeen participants with an

Timing and Predictive Value of Clinical Conditions Preceding Multiple Sclerosis in the UK Biobank
ABSTRACT Objectives Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients often experience a higher incidence of clinical conditions before diagnosis, suggesting a prodromal phase. However, their predictive value and temporal trajectories remain underexplored. We investigated these aspects using the large UK Biobank's population‐based cohort, which provided clinical ...

In Vitro Modeling of Natural Killer Cell Cytotoxicity to Inform Personalized ALS Therapeutics
ABSTRACT Objective Natural killer (NK) cells might contribute to motor neuron death in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) through direct cytotoxicity, a process that could be inhibited with the FDA‐approved JAK/STAT pathway inhibitor, tofacitinib. This study aimed to verify that tofacitinib can suppress NK cell cytotoxicity, investigate if immune cell

Association of the ICH Score With Withdrawal of Life‐Sustaining Treatment Over a 10‐Year Period
ABSTRACT Objective The intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) score was developed to enhance provider communication and facilitate early severity assessment. We examined the association of the ICH score with mortality and withdrawal of life‐sustaining treatment (WLST) in a large, multicenter stroke registry, and evaluated temporal trends in these associations.

The Road Not Taken: Misclassifying an Anti‐Seizure Medication as a Failure
ABSTRACT Objective To quantify how often anti‐seizure medications (ASMs) appear ineffective yet provide benefit when considering seizure frequency (SF) variability. Methods We used the CHOCOLATES seizure diary simulator to generate 100,000 patient seizure diaries that reflect natural SF variation in a heterogeneous population.

ABSTRACT Purpose This study aimed to explore the association between quantitative shape irregularity and density heterogeneity of hematomas and hematoma expansion (HE) for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients. Methods This cohort study included patients arriving within 24 h of symptom onset between August 2021 and July 2022 as the derivation cohort ...
