Radiological findings of contrast-induced encephalopathy following cerebral angiography: A case report.

Introduction: Contrast-induced encephalopathy (CIE) is a rare complication associated with the use of contrast media. New contrast agents make contrast complications increasingly rare. The diagnosis of CIE is challenging, particularly in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Hemicranial postural headache as a first symptom of a spontaneous carotid cavernous fistula: A case report.

Rationale: Spontaneous carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) is rare, and the expression of headache caused by it can be variable.

Patient Concerns: A case of a man hospitalized for high-intensity hemicranial headache which was aggravated by lying down and relieved when standing or sitting. The pain was of a pulsating character, localized on the right, behind the eye, followed by nausea and vomiting.

IRF-8 is Involved in Amyloid-β (Aβ)-induced Microglial Activation: a New Implication in Alzheimer's Disease.

It is well known that extracellular deposition of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide and microglia-mediated neuroinflammation are major hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Interferon regulatory factor-8 (IRF-8), an important transcription factor of the IRF family, is highly restricted in microglia in brains. The expression pattern and function of IRF-8 in AD need to be elucidated in order to provide novel therapies for the treatment of AD.
