Background And Objectives: Post-traumatic brain injury (TBI) lesions, which combine brain atrophy and white matter injuries, can lead to progressive post-traumatic encephalopathy. However, the specific involvement of the cerebellum, which participates in cognitive, executive, and sensory functions, has been little studied. The aim of this work was to explore the long-term cerebellar consequences of severe TBI.

Objective Real-life management of patients with hypertension and chronic kidney disease (CKD) among European Society of Hypertension Excellence Centres (ESH-ECs) is unclear : we aimed to investigate it. Methods A survey was conducted in 2023. The questionnaire contained 64 questions asking ESH-ECs representatives to estimate how patients with CKD are managed.

Inflammation plays a critical role in conditions such as acute liver failure, acute-on-chronic liver failure, and ischemia-reperfusion-induced liver injury. Various pathogenic pathways contribute to liver inflammation, involving inflammatory polarization of macrophages and Küpffer cells, neutrophil infiltration, dysregulation of T cell subsets, oxidative stress, and activation of hepatic stellate cells. While mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have demonstrated beneficial properties, their clinical translation is limited by their cellular nature.

Article Synopsis
  • - A 2023 survey by the European Society of Hypertension assessed the management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with hypertension across 88 centers in 27 countries, finding that only 28% had preexisting CKD, and 30% exhibited resistant hypertension.
  • - The survey indicated inconsistent rates of recent kidney function tests and varying usage of important medications, showing higher rates of certain drugs when nephrologists were involved in the care team.
  • - Overall, the study highlighted significant gaps in CKD screening and treatment prior to referral for specialized care, suggesting that tailored initiatives could enhance management for patients with hypertension and CKD.

Article Synopsis
  • Pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) leads to long-term neuroinflammation and disabilities, especially in children, highlighting the need to study its lasting effects on brain development.
  • In a mouse model, researchers induced TBI and then assessed neuroinflammation, myelination, and behavioral changes over time, finding robust inflammation and various neurodevelopmental issues.
  • The findings revealed persistent behavioral deficits, such as anxiety and social interaction problems, linked to white matter damage, establishing the mouse model as a valuable tool for future research on TBI outcomes.
