Article Synopsis
- Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a cerebrovascular disease marked by abnormal amyloid-β deposits in blood vessels, commonly found in older adults and Alzheimer's patients.
- The underlying processes that lead to blood vessel damage and related issues, like bleeding and cognitive decline, are not well understood yet.
- This review highlights previous research on neuroinflammation's involvement in CAA and suggests future studies focusing on specific targets like matrix metalloproteinases and activated immune cells to improve treatment options.
Article Synopsis
- Reconstructing ancient hydrological conditions, like those in the Eocene period, helps compare real data with modern climate models.
- Using fresh water dynamics from marginal seas, researchers analyze barium and strontium levels in river waters to track historical changes in river runoff.
- The study reveals that barium to calcium and strontium isotopes in fossil bivalve shells can effectively indicate riverine input variations, showing steady fresh water influx in western Europe during the Eocene with significant regional differences.
Introduction: Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) has a remarkably variable disease course, even in monogenetic hereditary forms. Our aim was to investigate the prevalence of vascular risk factors and their effect on disease onset and course in Dutch-type hereditary (D-)CAA and sporadic CAA.
Methods: We performed a cohort study in D-CAA to investigate the association between vascular risk factors (hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, smoking, and alcohol use) and age of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) onset and time of ICH recurrence with survival analyses.
Organ availability remains a persistent problem in lung transplantation. The use of organs from donors with chronic thromboembolic disease has not been described. In this report, we discuss 2 lung transplant recipients who received organs from donors with acute bilateral pulmonary embolism.

Patients undergoing allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation are prone to complications caused by viral infections. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) considerably impacts transplantation as it frequently requires antiviral intervention that evokes substantial side effects depending on the antiviral drug. Intermittent antiviral treatment may become necessary if CMV DNAemia cannot be permanently suppressed, and drug resistance may emerge that hampers and prolongs treatment.
