Electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings in individuals with Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) and the mouse model of FXS ( KO) display cortical hyperexcitability at rest, as well as deficits in sensory-driven cortical network synchrony. A form of circuit hyperexcitability is observed in cortical slices of KO mice as prolonged persistent activity, or Up, states. It is unknown if the circuit mechanisms that cause prolonged Up states contribute to FXS-relevant EEG phenotypes.

Cancer treatments have been dramatically modified by the introduction and the development of immunological checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). These treatments have many side effects, including acute kidney injury (AKI). Their combination with other treatments makes the diagnosis complex.

Background And Objectives: The timing of microsurgical treatment (MST) for ruptured brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVM) is a contentious issue in the literature. This study aimed to investigate the impact of MST timing on outcomes in patients with ruptured bAVMs, considering MST with and without preoperative endovascular treatment (EVT).

Method: Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 guidelines, a comprehensive search was conducted across multiple databases, yielding 15 studies meeting the inclusion criteria.

Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is a leading known genetic cause of intellectual disability with symptoms that include increased anxiety and social and sensory processing deficits. Recent electroencephalographic (EEG) studies in humans with FXS have identified neural oscillation deficits that include increased resting state gamma power, increased amplitude of auditory evoked potentials, and reduced phase locking of sound-evoked gamma oscillations. Similar EEG phenotypes are present in mouse models of FXS, but very little is known about the development of such abnormal responses.

Introduction: It is crucial to be aware of post-COVID-19 non-pulmonary complications. Avascular necrosis (AVN) is one of these complications. It should be noted that the risk of AVN persists in individuals who have recovered from the COVID-19 infection.
