The α-Synuclein Seeding Amplification Assay for Parkinson's Disease.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in the world. Currently, PD is incurable, and the diagnosis of PD mainly relies on clinical manifestations. The central pathological event in PD is the abnormal aggregation and deposition of misfolded α-synuclein (α-Syn) protein aggregates in the Lewy body (LB) in affected brain areas.

: Gait analysis, traditionally performed with lab-based optical motion capture systems, offers high accuracy but is costly and impractical for real-world use. Wearable technologies, especially inertial measurement units (IMUs), enable portable and accessible assessments outside the lab, though challenges with sensor placement, signal selection, and algorithm design can affect accuracy. This systematic review aims to bridge the benchmarking gap between IMU-based and traditional systems, validating the use of wearable inertial systems for gait analysis.

Background: Accurate body fat distribution assessment is essential for managing cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders. Although several methods are available for segmental fat analysis, few studies have examined the validity of affordable methods such as Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) against the reference method, Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA). This study aimed to assess the validity of BIA as compared to DXA for segmental fat mass assessment, and to develop anthropometric multivariate regression models that offer a cost-effective alternative for health professionals in clinical and public health settings.

Eli Lilly and Company, Indianapolis, IN, USA.
Introduction: The study objective was to describe characteristics and utilization patterns of tirzepatide users with type 2 diabetes (T2D) using the Healthcare Integrated Research Database in the USA.
Methods: Adults (≥18 years) included had T2D diagnosis; ≥1 tirzepatide claim (May 2022-January 2023; first claim date = index date); and continuous medical and pharmacy enrollment during the 6-month baseline and follow-up periods from the index date. Baseline demographics, clinical characteristics, and 6-month follow-up dosing and treatment patterns were summarized descriptively.
Lentivirus-mediated gene therapy for Fabry disease: 5-year End-of-Study results from the Canadian FACTs trial.
Clin Transl Med
January 2025
Department of Pediatrics, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA.
Background: Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder due to a deficiency of α-galactosidase A (α-gal A) activity. Our goal was to correct the enzyme deficiency in Fabry patients by transferring the cDNA for α-gal A into their CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs). Overexpression of α-gal A leads to secretion of the hydrolase; which can be taken up and used by uncorrected bystander cells.
