Article Synopsis
  • The study examines how the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and trouble sleeping are linked to the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), finding both factors independently contribute to this risk.* -
  • Data from over 10,000 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) revealed that both SII and trouble sleeping are positively correlated with NAFLD, with some interactions between the two.* -
  • The researchers concluded that while SII and trouble sleeping are individually correlated with NAFLD, their combination may further increase the risk of developing the disease.*

Introduction: Contrast-induced spinal cord injury (CIS) is an uncommon yet severe neurological complication following cerebral angiography. It can lead to dire consequences, including limb paralysis, respiratory distress, and even death.

Patient Concerns: After undergoing cerebral angiography, a 41-year-old male initially displayed symptoms of dizziness and blurred vision, which advanced into dysphoria and limb weakness within 3 hours.

Objective: The possible interaction of dietary flavonoid intake and sleep on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has not been well studied. This study investigated the interaction between dietary flavonoid intake and trouble sleeping on the risk of NAFLD.

Methods: Three discrete National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data cycles from 2007 to 2010 and 2017 to 2018 were used.

Sociability stands as a crucial factor in the evolutionary success of all mammalian species. Notably, enriched environment (EE) housing has been shown to enhance sociability in mice. However, the precise underlying molecular mechanism remains elusive.

Objectives: We aimed to investigate the relationship between dietary flavonoids, the dietary inflammatory index (DII), blood lead levels, and stroke and evaluate how these factors interact with one another in relation to stroke.

Materials And Methods: We analyzed data from 3675 older American adults aged ≥60 years, obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Since this database does not specifically differentiate between hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes, our data include both types.

Background: Cerebral ischemia is associated with a high burden of neurological disability. Recently, emerging evidence has demonstrated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are crucial regulators in cerebral ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury. Herein, we investigated the function and potential mechanism of long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 473 (LINC00473) in cerebral I/R injury.

Background: Recurrent primary pyogenic ventriculitis has not been reported previously. We present a unique case of recurrent primary pyogenic ventriculitis in an adult. And we believe that our study makes a significant contribution to the literature.

Background: To investigate the distribution of stenosis of intracranial and extracranial arteries of Han population patients suffering from cerebral infarction in the city of Quanzhou in Fujian and to determine the correlation of apolipoprotein A1 and apolipoprotein B with intracranial and extracranial atherosclerosis stenosis.

Methods: For this study, we enrolled patients with cerebral infarction between December 2009 and October 2012 at the Neurology Department of The Second Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University. All patients were examined by computed tomography angiography (CTA).

Background: Thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) has gained international recognition, clinical outcomes following this thrombolytic therapy varied from patient to patient. Factors affecting clinical outcomes have not been well understood yet, so this retrospective case-control study aimed to investigate factors that may influence clinical outcomes of acute ischemic stroke treated with intravenous rt-PA.

Methods: One hundred and one patients with acute ischemic stroke who received intravenous rt-PA thrombolysis within 4.
