α-synucleinopathies progression involves the spread of α-synuclein aggregates through the extracellular space (ECS). Single-particle tracking studies showed that α-synuclein-induced neurodegeneration increases ECS molecular diffusivity. To disentangle the consequences of neuronal loss versus α-synuclein-positive intracellular assemblies formation, we performed near-infrared single-particle tracking to characterise ECS rheology in the striatum of mouse models of α-synucleinopathies.

Background And Purpose: In idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) patients, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow is typically evaluated with a cardiac-gated two-dimensional (2D) phase-contrast (PC) MRI through the cerebral aqueduct. This approach is limited by the evaluation of a single location and does not account for respiration effects on flow. In this study, we quantified the cardiac and respiratory contributions to CSF movement at multiple intracranial locations using a real-time 2D PC-MRI and evaluated the diagnostic value of CSF dynamics biomarkers in classifying iNPH patients.

Background And Objective: Recently, RAB32 has been identified as possibly linked to Parkinson's disease. We studied the prevalence and clinical correlates of the p.Ser71Arg variant in the RAB32 gene in a large case series of Italian patients with Parkinson's disease or atypical parkinsonism.

Background & objectives The COVID-19 pandemic underscores the significance of vaccination in mitigating disease spread, with Covishield and Covaxin serving as pivotal vaccines in India. Breast milk, rich in vital antibodies like IgA and IgG, plays a crucial role in enhancing the immune defence of breastfeeding infants. However, limited research exists on the antibody responses in breast milk among individuals receiving single versus double doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Background: Despite advancements in valve implantation devices, vascular access complications (VAC) remain a significant cause of morbidity and mortality for those undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). We describe pre-operative imaging analysis of the aortoiliac and femoral arterial beds using the TransAtlantic intersociety consensus (TASC) score, ilio-femoral tortuosity, and procedural characteristics to identify anatomic risk factors predictive of VAC in TAVR.
Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing TAVR from 2012 to 2022 at a single North Dakota hospital were retrospectively reviewed.
