Complement inhibition targets a rich-club within the neuroinflammatory network after stroke to improve radiographic and functional outcomes.

Following recent advances in post-thrombectomy stroke care, the role of neuroinflammation and neuroprotective strategies in mitigating secondary injury has gained prominence. Yet, while neuroprotection and anti-inflammatory agents have re-emerged in clinical trials, their success has been limited. The neuroinflammatory response in cerebral ischemia is robust and multifactorial, complicating therapeutic approaches targeting single pathways.

Response of South Asia PM pollution to ammonia emission changes and associated impacts on human health.

Countries in South Asia are suffering severe PM pollution with rapid economic development, impacting human health and the environment. Whilst much attention has been given to understanding the contribution of primary emissions, the contribution of agriculture to PM concentrations, especially from agricultural ammonia (NH) emissions, remains less explored. Using an advanced regional atmospheric chemistry and transport modelling system (WRF-EMEP) with a new estimate of anthropogenic NH emissions inputs, we estimate the influence of agricultural NH emissions on surface PM in South Asia and evaluate the health impacts and the economic losses attributable to PM in 2018.

Systemic Administration of a Site-Targeted Complement Inhibitor Attenuates Chronic Stress-Induced Social Behavior Deficits and Neuroinflammation in Mice.

Chronic stress, a risk factor for many neuropsychiatric conditions, causes dysregulation in the immune system in both humans and animal models. Additionally, inflammation and synapse loss have been associated with deficits in social behavior. The complement system, a key player of innate immunity, has been linked to social behavior impairments caused by chronic stress.

Case Series of Cerebellar Ataxia with Tremor Due to Heterozygous STUB1 Variants (SCA48) without TBP Expansions: Further Evidence for SCA48 as a Monogenic Disease.

Clinically-relevant variants in the STUB1 gene have been associated with an autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxia 48 (SCA48), a recently described inherited neurodegenerative condition that is characterised by cognitive and psychiatric changes. To describe the clinical phenotype and genetic findings of three new Australian probands with STUB1 to expand the current understanding of the spectrum of clinical presentation and natural history of SCA48. Clinical and genetic review of patients diagnosed with SCA48 ataxia drawn from our centres.

Fully Endoscopic Microvascular Decompression of the Trochlear Nerve for Treatment of Medically Refractory Superior Oblique Myokymia: Technical Case Instruction and Operative Video.

Background And Importance: We describe, to our knowledge, the first report of fully endoscopic microvascular decompression (MVD) of the trochlear nerve in a patient with superior oblique myokymia (SOM).

Clinical Presentation: A 51-year-old female presented with multiple years of intermittent, "jumpy," and "shimmering" visual disturbances. She was diagnosed with SOM.
