Altogether 261 patients with different vegetative crises were investigated by clinico-neurologic, electro-, rheo-, echoencephalographic methods. The most frequent causes of crises (in 140 patients) were disorders of the hypothalamic and hypothalamo-mesencephalic sections of the brain. In the rest of the patients crises were caused by neuroses, disorders of the caudal zones of the brain stem and temporal region, pheochromocytoma, insulinoma, primary hyperaldosteronism, hypoparathyroidism and other diseases. Criteria of differential diagnosis of hypothalamic crises and crises in neuroses, disorders of the distal sections of the brain stem and temporal lobe epilepsy were specified. Some new, quite informative clinico-neurological and rheo- and electroencephalographic criteria were proposed for the differentiation of hypothalamic crises and crises in pheochromocytoma, insulinoma and primary hyperaldosteronism.

Previous studies have shown that astrocyte activation in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), accompanied by upregulation of the astrocyte marker S100 calcium binding protein B (S100B), contributes to comorbid anxiety in chronic inflammatory pain (CIP), but the exact downstream mechanism is still being explored. The receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) plays an important role in chronic pain and psychosis by recognizing ligands, including S100B. Therefore, we speculate that RAGE may be involved in astrocyte regulation of the comorbidity between CIP and anxiety by recognizing S100B.

Ultra-processed food consumption and risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease: The Framingham Heart Study.

J Prev Alzheimers Dis

February 2025

Department of Biostatistics, Boston University School of Public Health, Boston, MA, USA; The Framingham Study, Framingham, MA, USA; Department of Neurology, Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, MA, USA.

Background: Ultra-processed food consumption is emerging as a risk factor for various cardiometabolic diseases, however its association with dementia and Alzheimer's disease has rarely been explored.

Objectives: We sought to examine whether ultra-processed food consumption is associated with risk of all-cause dementia and Alzheimer's disease among middle-age and older adults.

Design: A prospective cohort study.

Clinical studies of blood-borne Extracellular vesicles in psychiatry: A systematic review.

J Psychiatr Res

January 2025

Biomarkers for the diagnosis and clinical management of psychiatric disorders are currently lacking. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), lipid membrane-encapsulated vesicles released by cells, hold promise as a source of biomarkers due to their ability to carry molecules that reflect the status of their donor cells and their ubiquitous presence in biofluids. This review examines the literature on EVs in biofluids from psychiatric disorder patients, and discuss how the published studies contribute to our understanding of the pathophysiology of these conditions and to the discovery of potential biomarkers.

Objectives: We aim to investigate cognitive phenotype distribution and MRI correlates across pediatric-, elderly-, and adult-onset MS patients as a function of disease duration.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we enrolled 1262 MS patients and 238 healthy controls, with neurological and cognitive assessments. A subset of 222 MS patients and 92 controls underwent 3T-MRI scan for brain atrophy and lesion analysis.
