AI Article Synopsis

  • Wasp stings can lead to various health issues due to the venom, including local skin damage, allergic reactions, and potentially severe multi-organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS).
  • The venom may also impact the nervous system, causing rare but serious complications like cerebral hemorrhages, epilepsy, and even Parkinson's disease.
  • This review aims to explain these complications in detail for better clinical understanding and reference.

Article Abstract

Wasp sting refers to a series of clinical syndromes caused by the venom in the tail poison sac of the poisonous bee when attacking the attacked body, mainly manifested as local skin damage, systemic allergic reaction and multi-organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) . Wasp venom can also act on the nervous system, and cause rare complications such as cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, epilepsy, encephalitis, and Parkinson's disease, which can seriously affect the prognosis. This review will elaborate the above complications for clinical reference.

The lack of an in-vivo pathology marker for synuclein pathology has been a long standing challenge for dementia for Lewy bodies (DLB) research. This issue is critically important for phase II trials, which are often small, requiring the precise measurement of the biological effects, whether disease modifying or symptomatic. Recent advances have enabled the determination of alpha-synuclein pathology status with CSF measurements, using aggregation assays [RT-QUIC].

Background: TREM2 is a lipid-sensing receptor expressed by microglial sub-populations within neuropathological microenvironments, whose downstream signaling promotes microglial survival, plasticity, and migration. Multiple loss-of-function variants strongly implicate TREM2 as a key regulator of Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. Accordingly, TREM2 antibodies are currently in development to evaluate the therapeutic potential of TREM2 agonism in neurodegenerative diseases.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains a formidable neurodegenerative challenge, characterized by profound cognitive decline. Despite decades of research, effective disease-modifying therapies are elusive. Recent advances in molecular neuropharmacology have unveiled potential therapeutic targets for AD, offering renewed hope.

Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease, characterized by a decrease in cognitive and behavioral functions of patients. Between the multiple potential disease-modifying therapeutics for AD, we have monoclonal antibodies as aducanumab, lecanemab, and donanemab. Recent results from the TRAILBLAZER-ALZ trial, highlighted donanemab as a promising monoantibodies treatment of early symptomatic AD.
