Autoinflammatory diseases (AID) are rare systemic inflammatory disorders due to monogenic or polygenic dysfunction of innate immunity. They affect many organs including the brain and the skin. The spectrum of these diseases has been rapidly expanding recently due to newly developed diagnostic tools. The neuro-immuno-endocrine-cutaneous interactions play an important role in the pathophysiology of these diseases. The skin-brain interplay is not fully investigated in AID and evidence supporting bidirectional communication is examined. This article provides an overview of the current state of the art in the pathophysiology of AID with cutaneous and psychiatric manifestations. Elucidating the neuro-immuno-endocrine-cutaneous dysregulation underlying pathophysiology of AID is promising for determining future biomarkers and therapeutic options.

Vascular function is impaired by conditions such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes as well as coronary risk factors including age, smoking, obesity, menopause and physical inactivity. Measurement of vascular function is useful not only for assessment of atherosclerosis itself but also in many other aspects such as understanding the pathophysiology, assessing treatment efficacy, and predicting prognosis of cardiovascular events. It is therefore important to accurately assess the extent of vascular function.

Brain herniation can be a life-threatening condition, resulting in poor prognosis and higher fatality rates. We examined whether quantitative characteristics of sequential pupillary light reflex (PLR) could serve as biomarkers for identifying brain herniation in fatal acute stroke cases with anterior circulation involvement admitted to neurological intensive care unit (Neuro-ICU). Automatic pupillometer assessed PLR automatically every 4-6 hours, measuring eight specific features: NPi (Neurological pupil index) score, initial resting and constriction pupil size, constriction change, constriction velocity, constriction latency, and dilation velocity.

Background And Objectives: Transient neurological deficits (TNDs) in patients with chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH), such as fluctuating aphasia, hemiparesis, or sensory disturbances, present diagnostic and treatment challenges as their pathophysiology remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between specific MRI findings and TNDs in patients with CSDH and explored their relationship through intraoperative observation.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 72 patients with CSDH who underwent preoperative MRI among 251 CSDH patients treated from January 2020 to December 2023.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) often leads to pain and functional limitations, impacting work and daily life. Physical activity (PA) is an important part of the treatment. Wearable activity trackers (WATs) offer a novel approach to promote PA but could also aid in finding a sustainable PA level over time.

Background: Variability in long-term endovascular treatment outcomes for intracranial aneurysms has prompted questions regarding the effects of these treatments on aneurysm hemodynamics. Endovascular techniques disrupt aneurysmal blood flow and shear, but their influence on intra-aneurysmal pressure remains unclear. A better understanding of aneurysm pressure effects may aid in predicting outcomes and guiding treatment decisions.
