Background: Upper limb motor impairment is one of the main complications of stroke, affecting quality of life both for the patient and their family. The aim of this systematic review was to summarize the scientific evidence on the safety and efficacy of Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) on upper limb motor recovery after stroke.
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of studies that have evaluated the efficacy or safety of VNS in stroke patients was performed.
Article Synopsis
- * The study examines how sFlt-1 impacts mitochondrial function and metabolism in endothelial and placental cells, showing it leads to metabolic changes that reduce oxygen metabolism and increase glycolysis.
- * Findings reveal that sFlt-1 from preeclamptic serum causes mitochondrial dysfunction, increasing reactive oxygen species and impairing cell function, particularly affecting cells that rely on oxidative metabolism.
