The hypothesis that the accumulation of prostaglandin (PG)E2 during reperfusion of severely ischemic tissue contributes to a breakdown in the blood-brain barrier (BBB) was expanded to include a parallel role for levuglandins(LGs), gamma-ketoaldehydes produced by rearrangement of PGH2. LGE2 was shown to be more potent than PGE2 in causing breakdown of the BBB when injected intrahemispherically. Brain tissue necrosis was clearly evident with total doses of levuglandin as low as 100 nmole.

Introduction: Remyelination of demyelinated axons can occur as an endogenous repair mechanism in multiple sclerosis (MS), but its efficacy varies between both MS individuals and lesions. The molecular and cellular mechanisms that drive remyelination remain poorly understood. Here, we studied the relation between microglia activation and remyelination activity in MS.

Introduction: Research on head impact characteristics, especially position-specific investigations in football, has predominantly focused on collegiate and professional levels, leaving a gap in understanding the risks faced by high school players. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of three factors-player position, impact location, and impact type-on the frequency, severity, and characteristics of impacts in high school American football. Additionally, we examined whether and how player position influences the distribution of impact locations and types.
