Implication of the thalamus in sleep alterations observed in Alzheimer's disease
Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common neurodegenerative disorder, is frequently accompanied by sleep disturbances. Alterations of sleep, in both quality and quantity, contribute to the progression of AD neuropathology.

Expanding the Genetic and Phenotypic Spectrum of DYT‐VPS16: The Importance of Splice‐Site Variants
Abstract Background DYT‐VPS16, an early‐onset isolated dystonia caused by variants in the VPS16 gene, has been reported in fewer than 70 patients. Methods We explored the clinical and genotypic spectrum of DYT‐VPS16 by investigating early‐onset dystonia patients with VPS16 variants discovered in our large Biodatabank and through gene‐matching ...

Source inference of exogenous gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) administered to humans by means of carbon isotopic ratio analysis: novel perspectives regarding forensic investigation and intelligence issues [PDF]
γ-Hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) is an endogenous short-chain fatty acid popular as a recreational drug due to sedative and euphoric effects, but also often implicated in drug-facilitated sexual assaults owing to disinhibition and amnesic properties.

Prolonged Detection of GHB Intake in Urine: Are We Finally There?
In a randomised placebo‐controlled trial with 30 volunteers, urinary LC‐MS/MS analysis demonstrated that a tentative GHB‐pentose conjugate remained elevated in urine up to 72 h post‐administration. This biomarker showed clear distinction from placebo and may offer extended detection compared to GHB itself, representing a significant step forward in ...
