Objective: The effectiveness and optimal stimulation site of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for central poststroke pain (CPSP) remain elusive. The objective of this retrospective international multicenter study was to assess clinical as well as neuroimaging-based predictors of long-term outcomes after DBS for CPSP.
Methods: The authors analyzed patient-based clinical and neuroimaging data of previously published and unpublished cohorts from 6 international DBS centers.

Background: 22q11 deletion syndrome consists of a variable grouping of phenotypic features and immunological defects secondary to the loss of genetic material located in the 22q11.2 band. The 22q11 deletion spectrum encompasses different syndromes related to the same etiology and with overlapping anomalies, including DiGeorge syndrome, velocardiofacial syndrome, among others.

Angina pectoris (AP), a clinical syndrome characterized by paroxysmal chest pain, is caused by insufficient blood supply to the coronary arteries and sudden temporary myocardial ischemia and hypoxia. Long-term AP typically induces other cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction and heart failure, posing a serious threat to patient safety. However, AP's complex pathological mechanisms and developmental processes introduce significant challenges in the rapid diagnosis and accurate treatment of its different subtypes, including stable angina pectoris (SAP), unstable angina pectoris (UAP), and variant angina pectoris (VAP).

Motor proteins play a key role in neuronal functions and morphology that are important for learning and memory. We have previously reported that increased expression KIF11/Kinesin-5 overrides Aß-mediated effects on dendritic spine density and long-term potentiation in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (AD), effectively maintaining cognitive function in the face of Aß pathology. Here, we evaluated the association of key AD phenotypes with mRNA expression levels of a select set of Dynein motor proteins METHOD: We utilized measurements of gene expression, AD neuropathology burden, and cognition provided by the ROS/MAP study to determine whether an association exists between AD phenotypes and expression of genes for cytoplasmic and axonemal dynein heavy chains.

Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) risk variants APOE4 and TREM2-R47H have been shown to impact glial cell functions and transcriptional profiles. We hypothesize that TREM2-APOE may have synergistic effects in driving pathogenesis and disease progression of AD in a cell type-specific manner.
Methods: We investigated cell-type specific transcriptional changes associated with APOE4- and TREM2-R47H-carrier status.
