Complete Embolic Protection of the Cerebral Arteries: TAVI Despite Large Left Ventricular Thrombus.

JACC Case Rep

Technische Universität Dresden, Department of Internal Medicine and Cardiology, Herzzentrum Dresden, University Clinic, Dresden, Germany.

Published: July 2020

The presence of a left ventricular (LV) thrombus is considered an absolute contraindication to transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) because of the very high embolic risk. We report a case of TAVI under complete protection of the cerebral arteries in a patient with a large LV thrombus, severely impaired LV function, and no surgical options. ().

To study the neuronal protective effect and its potential mechanism of C16 against gp120-induced cognitive impairment in vitro and in vivo. The NORT method was used to evaluate the short-term memory abilities of rats, the morphological changes in hippocampus were observed by Nissl staining. Cell viability and damage degree were detected by MTT and LDH.

Background: Numerous studies have highlighted the role of oxidative stress in Alzheimer's disease (AD) development. Yet, the alignment of systemic and central oxidative stress biomarkers is unclear across diverse populations in the AD continuum. This study aims to assess protein damage levels in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the AD continuum.

Background: A recent case report described an individual who was a homozygous carrier of the APOE3 Christchurch (APOE3ch) mutation and resistant to autosomal dominant Alzheimer's Disease (AD) caused by a PSEN1-E280A mutation. Whether APOE3ch contributed to the protective effect remains unclear.

Method: We generated a humanized APOE3ch knock-in mouse and crossed it to an amyloid-β (Aβ) plaque-depositing model.

Background: Parkinson's disease is a hypokinetic disorder characterized by selective loss of dopaminergic in substantia nigra pars compacta (SNPc) region of mid-brain. Dopaminergic degeneration of neurons is considered to be due to oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, neurons mitochondrial dysfunction and glutamate excitotoxicity etc. Inosine a purine nucleoside has been reported to produce anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuromodulatory actions in previous studies.

Subanesthetic Ketamine Ameliorates Activity-Based Anorexia of Adult Mice.

Synapse

January 2025

Center for Neural Science, New York University, New York, New York, USA.

Objective: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is an eating disorder with the second highest mortality of all mental illnesses and high relapse rate, especially among adult females, yet with no accepted pharmacotherapy. A small number of studies have reported that adult females who struggled with severe and relapsing AN experienced sustained remission of the illness following ketamine infusions. Two other reports showed that 30 mg/kg IP ketamine can reduce vulnerability of adolescent mice to activity-based anorexia (ABA), an animal model of AN.
