Matched oligoclonal bands: Diagnostic utility and clinical characteristics.

Objective: To describe patient clinical characteristics associated with matched oligoclonal bands (OCB).

Methods: A retrospective review at the University of Utah examined patients with matched OCB from 2015 to 2020. Clinical data, diagnosis, and outcomes were collected.

Improving Titanium Implant Stability with Photobiomodulation: A Review and Meta-Analysis of Irradiation Parameters.

This analysis was designed to present a summary of available evidence that will inform practice and guide future research for photobiomodulation (PBM) after titanium implant placement procedures. A systematic review was performed according to the Cochrane Collaboration and in line with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) criteria. Two investigators screened the titles and abstracts, and reviewed articles for risk of bias.

Adrenal Crisis Presenting as Recurrent Encephalopathy Mimicking Autoimmune, Infectious Encephalitis, and Common Variable Immune Deficiency: A Case Report.

Introduction: Adrenal crisis can present with life-threatening complications and mimic autoimmune or infectious encephalitis, and common variable immune deficiency (CVID). The literature regarding the neurological complications of adrenal crisis is limited and focuses on patients who present with hypotension and electrolyte abnormalities.

Case Report: A 30-year-old man presented 3 times to our hospital with encephalopathy, fever, and left sided weakness with a history of multiple autoimmune diseases and prior hospitalizations for encephalopathy.

Geometrical manipulation of complex supramolecular tessellations by hierarchical assembly of amphiphilic platinum(II) complexes.

Here we report complex supramolecular tessellations achieved by the directed self-assembly of amphiphilic platinum(II) complexes. Despite the twofold symmetry, these geometrically simple molecules exhibit complicated structural hierarchy in a columnar manner. A possible key to such an order increase is the topological transition into circular trimers, which are noncovalently interlocked by metal···metal and π-π interactions, thereby allowing for cofacial stacking in a prismatic assembly.

Telestroke consultation can accurately diagnose ischemic stroke mimics.

Introduction: Telestroke (TS) networks are standard in many areas of the US. Despite TS systems having approximately 33% mimic rates, it is unknown if TS can accurately diagnose patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) versus stroke mimics.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of consecutive TS consults to 27 TS sites in six states during 2018.

The zebrafish ortholog of TRPV1 is required for heat-induced locomotion.

The ability to detect hot temperatures is critical to maintaining body temperature and avoiding injury in diverse animals from insects to mammals. Zebrafish embryos, when given a choice, actively avoid hot temperatures and display an increase in locomotion similar to that seen when they are exposed to noxious compounds such as mustard oil. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that the single zebrafish ortholog of TRPV1/2 may have arisen from an evolutionary precursor of the mammalian TRPV1 and TRPV2.
