AI Article Synopsis
- The study builds on earlier research to explore how genetic factors interact with environmental influences in relation to Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
- It focuses on a specific group: highly traumatized African-American civilians, aiming to understand their unique experiences and genetic predispositions.
- The research also includes the use of structural MRI to examine brain changes associated with PTSD, providing a comprehensive look at both biological and psychological aspects of the disorder.

Trigeminal neuralgia as a presentation of high cervical stenosis: a systematic review of the literature.
Eur Spine J
January 2025
Department of Neurosurgery, University of Arizona College of Medicine, 1111 Mc Dowell Road, Phoenix, AZ, 85006, USA.
Purpose: An atypical presentation of cervical spondylopathy (CS), trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is attributable to the extension of trigeminal nuclei into the spinal cord and is frequently overlooked, leading to limited discussion with patients regarding potential anterior cervical surgery. Our systematic review assesses the effectiveness of cervical surgery for concurrent trigeminal neuralgia in cases of cervical spondylopathy.
Methods: A systematic review exploring cases of trigeminal neuralgia related to cervical spondylopathy was conducted searching on PubMed, Scopus and Embase databases for article in English.
Endoscopic endonasal approach for pituitary neuroendocrine tumor with septal mucosa incision tailored to tumor extension intending unilateral septal mucosa preservation.
Sci Rep

Department of Neurosurgery, Faculty of Medicine, University of Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan.
Currently, the direct endonasal approach is widely used in endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES) for pituitary neuroendocrine tumor. However, a large posterior septal perforation is inevitable. We routinely utilize a modified para/transseptal approach using the combination of a Killian and a contralateral rescue flap incision (PTSA with K-R incision).

Background: The immune system is substantially involved in the development and progression of age‐related cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
Method: As genetic and environmental factors interactively impact these conditions, we investigated how risk factors such as APOE genotype, age, and sex influence immune activation markers and AD biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in elderly individuals enrolled in the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging cohort. Among cognitively unimpaired individuals aged over 65 at the baseline visit (N=298), we measured 365 CSF immune activation markers using the proximity extension assay.
Plasma Biomarkers for Accelerated Cognitive Decline: A Tool for Targeted Clinical Trial Recruitment.
Alzheimers Dement

Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red de Fragilidad y Envejecimiento Saludable (CIBERFES), Madrid, Spain
Background: Detecting Alzheimer's disease (AD) biological hallmarks before clinical symptoms emerge is now possible with available blood‐based biomarkers. However, the rate of cognitive decline varies among individuals at risk of AD, and accurate prognostic blood‐based biomarkers are lacking. Our goal is to identify plasma proteins predictive of fast cognitive decline in asymptomatic individuals at risk of AD.

Background: Stronger default mode (DMN) and bilateral frontoparietal control network (FPCN) resting‐state functional connectivity are associated with reduced β‐amyloid (Aβ)‐related cognitive decline in cognitively unimpaired older adults, who were predominantly Aβ negative. This suggests that these networks might support cognitive resilience in the face of early AD pathology but it remains unclear whether these effects are apparent in preclinical AD. We investigated whether left‐FPCN, right‐FPCN, and DMN connectivity moderated the effect of Aβ on cognitive decline using a large multi‐site dataset from the Anti‐Amyloid Treatment in Asymptomatic Alzheimer’s Disease (A4) study.
