Diagnostic accuracy of interleukin-6, interleukin-10 and tumor necrosis factor alpha cytokine levels in patients with mild cognitive impairment: systematic review and meta-analysis.

June 2024
Article Synopsis
- There is increasing evidence linking neurodegeneration and inflammation to age-associated diseases like Alzheimer's disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).
- A systematic review and meta-analysis focused on the diagnostic accuracy of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α) in identifying MCI was conducted using various medical databases.
- The results showed that while IL-10 levels were higher in MCI patients compared to healthy controls, the overall findings did not strongly support the use of these inflammatory biomarkers for MCI detection, highlighting the need for more research in this area.

Background: Most of the Brazilian population relies on public healthcare and stroke is a major cause of disability in this country of continental dimensions. There is limited information about access to rehabilitation after stroke in Brazil.
Objective: To provide comprehensive information about Access to Rehabilitation After discharge from public hospitals in Brazil (AReA study), up to 6 months after stroke.
Effect of transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for tinnitus treatment: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Neurophysiol Clin
February 2022
Objectives: To evaluate the effect of tDCS on tinnitus distress, loudness and psychiatric symptoms.
Methods: A systematic literature search of PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, VHL, EMBASE, PsycINFO, OVID, and CINAHL databases was carried out on articles published until July 2021. Inclusion criteria were published controlled trials using tDCS intervention with tinnitus patients, using a sham/control group, and measuring tinnitus loudness, distress and/or psychiatric symptoms.
Can Task Specificity Impact tDCS-Linked to Dual Task Training Gains in Parkinson's Disease? A Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.
Front Aging Neurosci
July 2021
Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) have difficulties while performing dual-task activities, a condition present in everyday life. It is possible that strategies such as transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) can be associated with motor training enriched with dual-task training to improve the performance of two concurrent tasks. Currently, it is unclear whether specific tasks and clinical conditions of PD patients have different results after the intervention.

Background: Dementia is among the most common chronic noncommunicable neurodegenerative diseases. In the long term, it causes disability and loss of autonomy and independence. It is estimated that there are 35.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTranscranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) has been used as an alternative treatment for pain reduction in fibromyalgia. In this study, in addition to behavioral measures, we analyzed oscillations in alpha 2 frequency band in the frontal, occipital, and parietal regions, in response to the application of two neuromodulation protocols in fibromyalgia. The study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial with 31 women diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
