Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a debilitating and rapidly fatal neurodegenerative disease, which is characterized by the selective loss of the upper and lower motor neurons. The pathogenesis of ALS remains to be elucidated and has been connected to genetic, environmental and immune conditions. Evidence from clinical and experimental studies has suggested that the immune system played an important role in ALS pathophysiology.

Ischemic stroke (IS) is one of the principal causes of disability and death worldwide. Berberine (BBR), derived from the traditional Chinese herbal medicine Huang Lian, has been reported to inhibit the progression of stroke, but the specific mechanism whereby BBR modulates the progression of ischemic stroke remains unclear. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is the most typical epigenetic modification of mRNA post-transcriptional modifications, among which METTL3 is the most common methylation transferase.

Article Synopsis
  • The Chinese Visceral Adiposity Index (CVAI) is an important measure of fatty tissue dysfunction, and this study looks at how it relates to outcomes in Chinese patients who had ischemic strokes and underwent endovascular thrombectomy (EVT).
  • Researchers found that among 453 patients, higher CVAI levels were linked to a greater chance of poor outcomes three months after treatment, with over half of the participants showing unfavorable results.
  • The study concluded that CVAI could serve as a useful predictor for recovery in stroke patients, indicating that increased visceral fat correlates with worse outcomes post-EVT.

Background: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) causes long-term functional dependence and death. Early prediction of functional outcomes in aSAH patients with appropriate intervention strategies could lower the risk of poor prognosis. Therefore, we aimed to develop pre- and post-operative dynamic visualization nomograms to predict the 1-year functional outcomes of aSAH patients undergoing coil embolization.
