Article Synopsis
- ALS is a serious neurodegenerative disease that leads to progressive motor decline and paralysis, with an increase in identified gene mutations highlighting the need for new models to better understand the disease mechanisms.* -
- Researchers created a mouse model with the P497S mutation, which displayed motor symptoms similar to ALS, and by examining gene expression, they found motor neurons showed reduced survival and denervation of neuromuscular junctions at 12 months.* -
- Interestingly, key muscle-related genes were found to be downregulated in motor neurons of affected mice, suggesting these neurons may play a critical role in supporting muscle maintenance despite commonly being associated with muscle tissue.*
Introduction: Increasing cancer survivorship, in part due to new radiation treatments, has created a larger population at risk for delayed complications of treatment. Radiation cystitis continues to occur despite targeted radiation techniques.
Materials And Methods: To investigate value-based care applying hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) to treat delayed radiation cystitis, we reviewed public-access Medicare data from 3,309 patients from Oct 1, 2014, through Dec 31, 2019.
