Clinical Characteristics of Parkinsonism in HTLV‐1‐Associated Myelopathy
ABSTRACT Objective Human T‐lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV‐1)‐associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) is the classic neurological manifestation of HTLV‐1 infection; however, this virus has also been associated with other neurological disorders. Concurrent parkinsonism is relatively rare and presents diagnostic challenges.

Diagnosis of tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency using filter paper blood spots: further development of the method and 5 years experience [PDF]
In every newborn with even mild hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA) tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) deficiencies need to be excluded as soon as possible. Differential diagnosis is most commonly performed by analysis of urinary neopterin and biopterin.

Pro-inflammatory signaling by IL-10 and IL-22: bad habit stirred up by interferons? [PDF]
Interleukin (IL)-10 and IL-22 are key members of the IL-10 cytokine family that share characteristic properties such as defined structural features, usage of IL-10R2 as one receptor chain, and activation of signal transducer and activator of ...

A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of the Role of Peripheral Inflammation in Delirium
This review found peripheral inflammation is associated with delirium. Preceding delirium, the neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR), interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), C‐reactive protein (CRP), and Leukocyte Count(WBC) were higher, and insulin‐like growth factor‐1 (IGF‐1) lower, in those that developed delirium.

Pharmacodynamic (PD) biomarkers can support biosimilarity assessment, potentially reducing the need for comparative clinical efficacy studies. This study aimed to characterize previously identified proteomic PD biomarker candidates for Interferon beta‐1a (IFNβ‐1a, n = 248) and pegylated IFNβ‐1a (pegIFNβ‐1a, n = 528) biologics at therapeutic doses, to ...

Inflammation and endothelial function: Direct vascular effects of human C-reactive protein on nitric oxide bioavailability [PDF]
Background - Circulating concentrations of the sensitive inflammatory marker C-reactive protein (CRP) predict future cardiovascular events, and CRP is elevated during sepsis and inflammation, when vascular reactivity may be modulated.
