Transient global amnesia: a quantified electroencephalographic study.

Acta Neurol Scand

Department of Neurology, University of Genoa, Italy.

Published: February 1993

In 13 patients who experienced transient global amnesia (TGA), quantified electroencephalographic (qEEG) records were carried out within 1 week of the episodes, and compared with those in 13 cases with cerebral transient ischemic attacks (TIA), and 13 normal controls, matched for age and sex. A statistical comparison of the absolute power showed few differences between TGA and TIA patients, and many statistical differences between TGA patients and controls. The qEEG pattern reveals an involvement of the temporo-parietal structures in TGA patients. These findings suggest the presence of subclinical sequelae, after the TGA attack.

Introduction: Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) can experience intermittent claudication, which limits walking capacity and the ability to undertake daily activities. While exercise therapy is an established way to improve walking capacity in people with PAD, it is not feasible in all patients. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) provides a way to passively induce repeated muscle contractions and has been widely used as a therapy for chronic conditions that limit functional capacity.

: N-acetyl-galactosamine small interfering RNAs (GalNAc-siRNA) are an emerging class of drugs due to their durable knockdown of disease-related proteins. Direct conjugation of GalNAc onto the siRNA enables targeted uptake into hepatocytes via GalNAc recognition of the Asialoglycoprotein Receptor (ASGPR). With a transient plasma exposure combined with a prolonged liver half-life, GalNAc-siRNA exhibits distinct disposition characteristics.

Potential Effect of Cinnamaldehyde on Insulin Resistance Is Mediated by Glucose and Lipid Homeostasis.

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic syndrome that has grown globally to become a significant public health challenge. Hypothesizing that the plasma membrane protein, transient receptor potential ankyrin-1, is a pivotal target in insulin resistance, we investigated the mechanism of action of cinnamaldehyde (CIN), an electrophilic TRPA1 agonist, in skeletal muscle, a primary insulin target. Specifically, we evaluated the effect of CIN on insulin resistance, hepatic glycogen accumulation and muscle and adipose tissue glucose uptake.

: Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) stems from disrupted lipid metabolism in the liver, often linked to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and dyslipidemia. In Mexico, where obesity affects 36.9% of adults, MASLD prevalence has risen, especially with metabolic syndrome affecting 56.

Background: Migrant construction workers involved in building infrastructure for mega-sporting events face elevated risks of illness and death. However, specific health outcomes for these workers have not been systematically reviewed, limiting opportunities to identify and address their challenges.

Methods: This study systematically reviewed health outcomes among migrant construction workers involved in mega-sporting events.
