Alpha-synuclein (α-syn) is widely expressed in presynaptic neuron terminals, and its structural alterations play an important role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Aggregated α-syn has been found in brain, in the peripheral nerves of the enteric nervous system (ENS) and in the intestinal neuroendocrine cells during synucleinopathies and inflammatory bowel disorders. In the present study, we evaluated the histomorphological features of murine colon with 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis, a common model of colitis.

- A study aimed to compare outcomes of general anesthesia (GA) versus non-general anesthesia (non-GA) in patients aged 90 and older undergoing mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for acute ischemic stroke, a group often excluded from previous research.
- The analysis included 139 patients, with those receiving non-GA showing significantly worse outcomes in 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores and higher mortality rates.
- The findings suggest that nonagenarians treated with MT without GA have poorer prognoses, highlighting the need for further research on anesthesia techniques for this age group.
Article Synopsis
- Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are a significant issue after esophagectomy, affecting up to 40% of patients despite advances in surgical care.
- This study aims to determine if using high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) right after extubation can lower PPC rates compared to standard oxygen therapy.
- The research involves 320 participants who will be randomly assigned to either HFNC or standard therapy post-surgery, with various complications being tracked to assess the effectiveness of each approach.
This research focuses on SMEs in the EU and their acceptance of circular economy practices, with a special attention to the structural characteristics that might be significant drivers. Eight indicators of environmentally friendly practices are studied: water saving, energy saving, renewable energy, material saving, waste reduction, sale of waste materials, waste recycling, and eco-designed products. A sample of European SMEs from EU-28 data (countries at the time of the survey) is used to test hypotheses through eight multilevel probit regression models.
