Exam‐level analysis of lecture capture viewing and student exam performance

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study asks how lecture capture relates to exam performance in biology courses with three noncumulative exams. Mixed‐effects modeling separated between‐students from within‐student effects on exam %. Students who watched more recordings earned higher grades, but viewing spikes above a student's own mean, consistent with cramming, predicted small ...

Diabetes‐induced vascular calcification is associated with low pyrophosphate and its oral supplementation prevents calcification in diabetic mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Induction of diabetes in three different mouse strains uniformly resulted in an increase in TNAP activity and a reduction in pyrophosphate (PPi) in the circulation. Inhibition of TNAP restored plasma PPi. Diabetes‐induced calcification in the media layer of the aorta was detected only in the Abcc6−/− strain, which is predisposed to ectopic ...

NOTCH2NLC Repeat Expansions in Parkinsonian Disorders: Clinical and Neuroimaging Characteristics

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by NOTCH2NLC GGC repeat expansions, with heterogeneous clinical manifestations, including parkinsonism. Recent studies have identified NOTCH2NLC repeat expansions in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonism (aPM), suggesting ...

Serum Neurofilament Light Chain in Multiple Sclerosis: Superiority of Age‐ and BMI‐Corrected Z Scores/Percentiles Over Absolute Cutoff Values for Prediction of Treatment Response

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Prognostication of disease course and prediction of treatment response in multiple sclerosis is an unmet need. We compared the performance of serum neurofilament light chain Z scores (age‐ and BMI‐adjusted) with absolute concentrations for the prediction of response to disease‐modifying therapy.

The rs10191329 Risk Allele Is Associated With Pronounced Retinal Layer Atrophy in Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate whether the rs10191329 risk allele in the DYSF–ZNF638 locus, which is implicated in central nervous system resilience rather than immune‐mediated pathology, is associated with retinal layer thinning, a biomarker of neuroaxonal damage in relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS). Methods From a prospective observational study,

Quantitative Iron Measurements in the Basal Ganglia of NBIA Patients Using QSM: Insights From a Tertiary Center

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) comprises rare genetic disorders characterized by predominantly extrapyramidal symptoms and iron deposition in the basal ganglia. Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) detects qualitative changes but cannot accurately quantify iron accumulation. Quantitative susceptibility
