Effect of SARS-CoV2 Infection on Endovascular Thrombectomy Outcomes - Data from the Florida Stroke Registry.

AJNR Am J Neuroradiol

January 2025

From the University of Miami Department of Neurology (H.B.F., I.R., R.Y., A.A., M.S., Y.H., A.A., C.M.G., V.J.D.B., R.M.S., T.R., H.G., J.G.R., N.A.), Miami, FL, USA; University of South Florida Department of Neurology (D.Z.R. A.J.), Tampa, FL, USA.

Background And Purpose: Endovascular thrombectomy outcomes are impacted by changes in stroke systems of care. During the pandemic, SARS-CoV2 positive status had major implications on hospital arrival and treatment models of non-COVID related hospital admissions. Using the Florida Stroke Registry, we compared the rates of in-hospital death and discharge outcomes of patients treated with endovascular thrombectomy who tested positive for SARS-CoV2 infection during their hospitalization.

Diabetes Mellitus Impairs Blood-Brain Barrier Integrality and Microglial Reactivity.

J Biophotonics

Britton Chance Center for Biomedical Photonics-MoE Key Laboratory for Biomedical Photonics, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China.

Diabetes mellitus (DM), a chronic metabolic disorder that adversely affects the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and microglial function in the central nervous system (CNS), contributing to neuronal damage and neurodegenerative diseases. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms linking diabetes to BBB dysfunction and microglial dysregulation remain poorly understood. Here, we assessed the impacts of diabetes on BBB and microglial reactivity and investigated its mechanisms.

Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 Enhances Autophagy via the Consumption of miR-326 in a Mouse Model of Acute Lung Injury.

Biochem Genet

January 2025

Department of Pulmonary Disease, Shanghai Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shanghai, 200071, China.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) has been reported to exert a protective effect in acute lung injury (ALI), though its underlying mechanism remains incompletely understood. In this study, ACE2 expression was found to be upregulated in a mouse model of ALI induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection. ACE2 knockdown modulated the severity of ALI, the extent of autophagy, and the mTOR pathway in this model.

Division of Pediatric Neurosurgery, Department of Neurosurgery, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, OH, USA.

Up to 40% of intracranial aneurysms arise from the anterior cerebral artery and anterior communicating artery (ACA-ACoA) complex. The vast variability of vessel anomalies and the surrounding critical structures correlate with severe morbidity and mortality rates in case of rupture. In the era of cutting-edge advantages of endovascular procedures, surgical expertise is reducing.

A diabetic wound (DW) is an alteration in the highly orchestrated physiological sequence of wound healing especially, the inflammatory phase. These alterations result in the generation of oxidative stress and inflammation at the injury site. This further leads to the impairment in the angiogenesis, extracellular matrix, collagen deposition, and re-epithelialization.
