The aim of the scientific work is to establish morphological characteristics of hemorrhages in the corpus callosum as a marker of primary vascular injuries in diffuse axonal injury (DAI) in relation to the goals and objectives of forensic examination. Changes in the structures of corpus callosum were analyzed in 45 corpses of persons with traumatic brain injury who died in hospital from DAI diagnosed according to clinical and instrumental data within 24 hours after the trauma. The changes were characterized by rectic hemorrhages () in combination with successively developing vascular, tissue, and cellular post-traumatic reactions. These changes were not observed in the control group. The following morphological characteristics of hemorrhages were established: small focal, elongated, clearly contoured hemorrhages of different sizes, up to 4 mm long, up to 0.8 mm wide, unidirectional at an angle from the lower to upper surface of the sagittal corpus callosum section, at least three, grouped in limited areas sized up to 1.5 × 1.0 cm without clear borders. The detected hemorrhages and the course of changes give reason to consider them the result of primary traumatic effects, making them a diagnostic marker of DAI.

Impact of white matter hyperintensity location on outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients: a lesion-symptom mapping study.

Background: Studies on the impact of white matter hyperintensity (WMH) on function outcome have primarily concentrated on WMH volume, overlooking the potential significance of WMH location. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between WMH location and outcome in patients with their first-ever acute ischemic stroke (AIS).
Methods: Patients who underwent their first AIS between September 2021 and September 2022 were recruited.

Background: Age, sex, and APOE genotype are well-established risk factors for late-onset Alzheimer's Disease (LOAD). Previous findings demonstrate that neuroinflammatory profiles of the human midlife female brain closely resemble the human AD brain. Given APOE's role in LOAD pathogenesis, here we investigate the contribution of this risk factor on targeted AD relevant transcriptional pathways.

Background: Inflammation plays a pivotal role in driving the development and progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in the human brain, offering a promising avenue for therapeutic intervention. However, the initiation phase of inflammation and its potential sex differences remain elusive. In this study, we aim to provide translational validity to our preclinical findings by testing two hypotheses: 1) the inflammatory profile of late-onset AD (LOAD) is initiated and detectable during midlife aging, and 2) sex differences manifest in the brain by midlife.

Background: Our studies show that the small non-coding RNA, mir20a-3p, is neuroprotective for stroke in the acute phase and also attenuates long term cognitive decline in middle-aged female rats. Cognitive decline due to vascular diseases, such as stroke, is associated with secondary neurodegeneration in cortex and limbic structures. In this study, we assessed the volume of white matter, ventricles and regional diffusion-weighted MR imaging measures to delineate pathological tissue characteristics from the postmortem brain of stroke rats.

Cuprizone (CPZ) is a widely used toxin that induces demyelinating diseases in animal models, producing multiple sclerosis (MS)-like pathology in rodents. CPZ is one of the few toxins that triggers demyelination and subsequent remyelination following the cessation of its application. This study examines the functional consequences of CPZ-induced demyelination and the subsequent recovery of neural communication within the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), with a particular focus on inter-hemispheric connectivity via the corpus callosum.
