This study evaluated disease activity in people with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS) who received immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) compared to PwMS not treated with ICIs. There were 108 PwMS included (27 PwMS+ICIs and 81 PwMS controls), matched on age, sex, disease duration, DMTs, and MS disease course. Of 27 PwMS+ICIs, one (4%) had a relapse and four (15%) developed new MRI lesions without clinical symptoms. Time to relapse and MRI activity were compared using Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression models. There was no significant difference for either time to relapse (p = 0.34) or MRI activity (p = 0.15) in PwMS+ICIs compared to controls.

Reframing the Narrative: An Exploratory Study of the Concerns, Expectations and Experiences of Parents Who Bring Their Child to an Emergency Department with Non-Urgent Illness.

Parenthood inevitably includes caring for a child suffering from mild-moderate illness requiring access to health care. Most childhood illnesses can be managed in the community, and parents are encouraged to attend the most suitable primary care service for their needs. Yet the number of children visiting emergency departments with non-urgent illness continues to rise annually, with child attendance representing over 25% of the total workload.

The switch/sucrose non-fermentable (SWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling complexes (also referred to as BAF complexes) are composed of multiple subunits, which regulate the nucleosome translocation and chromatin accessibility. In recent years, significant advancements have been made in understanding mutated genes encoding subunits of the SWI/SNF complexes in cancer biology. Nevertheless, the role of SWI/SNF complexes in immune response and inflammatory diseases continues to attract significant attention.

In this study, we compared gene expression in multiple brain cell types in brain tissue from Alzheimer disease (AD) cases with no or other co-existing pathologies including Lewy body disease (LBD) and vascular disease (VaD).
Method: We evaluated differential gene expression measured from single nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNAseq) data generated from the hippocampus region tissue donated by 11 BU ADRC participants with neuropathologically confirmed AD with or without a co-existing pathology (AD-only = 3, AD+VaD = 6, AD+LBD = 2).

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia, affecting 50 million people globally. Current AD animal models mainly focus on familial or inherited AD. These models often carry the APP and PSEN gene mutations from familial AD patients, or introduce microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) mutations, which can cause frontotemporal dementia but are not linked to AD.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) due to external forces is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among people of all age groups, worldwide. Multiple biological processes like neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, amyloid β (Aβ) production, and tau hyperphosphorylation are involved in the pathogenesis of TBI. The role of neuroinflammation and oxidative stress has been suggested in the pathophysiology of brain injury-induced cognitive dysfunction.
