Article Synopsis
- Despite significant advancements in DNA sequencing technologies, clear and concise genomic fingerprints for different species remain elusive.
- The concept of "nucleic quasi-primes" is introduced as the shortest unique sequences found in specific genomes that can provide insights into species evolution and have applications in various fields like agriculture and healthcare.
- In humans, nucleic quasi-primes are linked to genes related to brain development, and their presence is associated with variations in gene expression relevant to cognitive function and various diseases.
Acquisition of Prehospital Stroke Severity Scale is associated with shorter door-to-puncture times in patients with prehospital notifications transported directly to a thrombectomy center.

Background: We sought to identify systemic factors influencing door-to-puncture times (DTP) among patients with pre-arrival notifications presenting directly to a comprehensive stroke center (CSC) and undergoing emergent mechanical thrombectomy (MT).
Methods: In this retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained registry of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients undergoing MT at two CSCs between January 2021 and October 2023, we included consecutive AIS patients presenting directly to the CSC with pre-arrival notifications via emergency medical services (EMS) and who underwent emergent MT. We excluded patients with known confounders to DTP and divided this cohort into two groups: DTP ≤75 min and >75 min.
DNA methylation controls stemness of astrocytes in health and ischaemia.

Astrocytes are the most abundant cell type in the mammalian brain and provide structural and metabolic support to neurons, regulate synapses and become reactive after injury and disease. However, a small subset of astrocytes settles in specialized areas of the adult brain where these astrocytes instead actively generate differentiated neuronal and glial progeny and are therefore referred to as neural stem cells. Common parenchymal astrocytes and quiescent neural stem cells share similar transcriptomes despite their very distinct functions.

Intraocular tumors constitute a small subset of cases in ophthalmologic practice. Proper diagnosis of intraocular tumors is crucial because some pose threat to vision and life, while others may indicate underlying systemic disorders. Intraocular tumors comprise benign and malignant lesions affecting the retina, choroid, optic disc, iris, and ciliary body.
