There is indirect evidence suggesting that some cytokines may be involved in the pathophysiology of dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT). Measurement of proinflammatory cytokines in the biologic fluids and brain tissues of DAT patients have provided some support for such a role. However, these studies are limited in scope and have included a relatively small number of patients. Future studies are needed to elucidate the role of cytokines in the pathogenesis and treatment of DAT.

Constructing the Well Regenerated Decellularized Adipose Tissue Using External Volume Expansion Device.
Aesthetic Plast Surg
January 2025
Department of Plastic and Reconstruction Surgery, Xijing Hospital, Fourth Military Medical University, Xi'an, Shaanxi, China.
Background: External volume expansion (EVE) devices has been demonstrated to enhance the survival of fat grafts. Decellularized adipose tissue (DAT) serves as a promising scaffold for adipose regeneration; however, the effectiveness of adipose regeneration in DAT remains limited, and the underlying mechanisms of its regeneration require further investigation.
Objective: This study explores the potential of EVE technology to enhance DAT-mediated adipogenesis by facilitating cellular recruitment and establishing a microenvironment conducive to adipose tissue regeneration.
Effectiveness of Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT-LOUD) in Parkinsonian-Type Multiple System Atrophy (MSA-P): A Case Report.

Graduate School of Health Science, Fukui Health Science University, Fukui, JPN.
Article Synopsis
- A 73-year-old patient with Parkinsonian-type multiple system atrophy (MSA-P) experienced motor symptoms, including gait disturbances and swallowing difficulties, prompting medical evaluation.
- Brain imaging and diagnostic tests confirmed MSA-P, but traditional Parkinson’s treatments showed minimal effectiveness as the patient's condition worsened.
- After undergoing Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT-LOUD) at age 75, the patient showed significant improvements in speech volume, swallowing abilities, and cognitive function, indicating potential benefits of LSVT-LOUD for patients with MSA-P.
Aberrant extracellular dopamine clearance in the prefrontal cortex exhibits ADHD-like behavior in NCX3 heterozygous mice.
FEBS J
December 2024
Research Center for Pharmaceutical Development, Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- ADHD is linked to dopaminergic dysfunction in the prefrontal cortex, leading to symptoms like hyperactivity, inattention, and cognitive deficits.
- Researchers identified sodium-calcium exchanger 3 (NCX3) in dopaminergic neurons, finding that its knockdown causes abnormal dopamine influx and related behavioral issues in mice.
- NCX3 heterozygous mice display ADHD-like behaviors, such as hyperactivity and cognitive deficits, which can be improved with methylphenidate, highlighting the role of NCX3 in dopamine signaling and ADHD.

Semaglutide is registered in the Netherlands as a treatment for type 2 diabetes. If semaglutide is prescribed off-label as slimming agent, in principle, patient's costs are not reimbursed by health insurers. With the entry of the Geneesmiddelenwet (Gnw), regulations were provided for off-label prescription of medication.

Purpose: Although dopamine transporter (DAT) imaging has been reported to be useful for differentiating idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (iNPH) from its mimics, the radiological findings of DAT imaging in iNPH have not been established. We investigated [I] N-ω-fluoropropyl-2β-carboxymethoxy-3β-(4-iodophenyl) nortropane (FP-CIT) single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images from patients with disproportionately enlarged subarachnoid-space hydrocephalus (DESH)-type iNPH to understand the characteristics of DAT images of iNPH.
Methods: We retrospectively collected 11 DESH-type iNPH patients without comorbidities who underwent FP-CIT SPECT imaging.
