Article Synopsis
- Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative disease linked to frequent head injuries, often seen in athletes and military personnel, with a focus on its relationship with aggression and family mental health history.
- The study analyzed data from deceased male brain donors with CTE, aiming to determine if the presence of CTE affects the relationship between first-degree family history of mental illness (1°FHMI) and aggression, using structured assessments and various demographic controls.
- Results indicated that 1°FHMI was significantly correlated with aggression scores in individuals with CTE, suggesting that CTE pathology may influence aggression differently than previously understood, while no such association was found in those without CTE.

Article Synopsis
- Renal denervation (RDN) was tested in a sham-controlled trial in China to see if it can effectively lower blood pressure (BP) in hypertensive patients on medication.
- The study involved 217 participants, showing that those who underwent RDN experienced a significantly greater reduction in 24-hour ambulatory systolic BP (by -13.0 mm Hg) compared to the placebo group (by -3.0 mm Hg).
- Overall, RDN was found to be safe, as only one minor complication occurred, and it effectively reduced both ambulatory and office BP at the 6-month mark compared to the sham procedure.

CONNECT-AI Research Center (S.-E.L., J.M.S., H.-J.C.), Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea.
Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated how various cardiometabolic risk factors, such as metabolic syndrome and individual factors like high fasting glucose and low HDL cholesterol, impact the progression of coronary plaque and the likelihood of major cardiovascular events in patients with stable coronary artery disease.
- - In a cohort of 1,200 patients followed over several years, 28% experienced rapid coronary plaque progression, identified primarily through increased atheroma volume, which indicates worsening arterial health.
- - The findings suggest that a combination of risk factors, particularly high blood sugar and blood pressure, significantly forecast both plaque progression and serious cardiovascular incidents, highlighting the importance of monitoring these factors in at-risk patients.
Adaptive Randomization Method to Prevent Extreme Instances of Group Size and Covariate Imbalance in Stroke Trials.
Stroke
August 2024
Melbourne Medical School (D.I., H.T.J., L.C.), University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria, Australia.
Background: A recent review of randomization methods used in large multicenter clinical trials within the National Institutes of Health Stroke Trials Network identified preservation of treatment allocation randomness, achievement of the desired group size balance between treatment groups, achievement of baseline covariate balance, and ease of implementation in practice as critical properties required for optimal randomization designs. Common-scale minimal sufficient balance (CS-MSB) adaptive randomization effectively controls for covariate imbalance between treatment groups while preserving allocation randomness but does not balance group sizes. This study extends the CS-MSB adaptive randomization method to achieve both group size and covariate balance while preserving allocation randomness in hyperacute stroke trials.

Article Synopsis
- Clinical clearance of a child's cervical spine after trauma is difficult due to unreliable neurologic exams; LSMRI may help by providing a quicker, anesthesia-free alternative to standard MRI for detecting ligamentous injuries.
- A study conducted over five years across 10 centers evaluated 2,663 children and found that LSMRI had a sensitivity and negative predictive value of over 99% for detecting cervical spine injuries and 100% for unstable injuries.
- The findings support the use of limited-sequence MRI to effectively rule out significant injuries, suggesting that trauma centers implement LSMRI protocols to reduce the need for anesthesia and MRI times.

Delayed Enhancement of Intracranial Atherosclerotic Plaque Can Better Differentiate Culprit Lesions: A Multiphase Contrast-Enhanced Vessel Wall MRI Study.
AJNR Am J Neuroradiol
March 2024
Department of Radiology (M.M., C.Z.), University of Washington, Seattle, Washington.
Background And Purpose: Intracranial plaque enhancement (IPE) identified by contrast-enhanced vessel wall MR imaging (VW-MR imaging) is an emerging marker of plaque instability related to stroke risk, but there was no standardized timing for postcontrast acquisition. We aim to explore the optimal postcontrast timing by using multiphase contrast-enhanced VW-MR imaging and to test its performance in differentiating culprit and nonculprit lesions.
Materials And Methods: Patients with acute ischemic stroke due to intracranial plaque were prospectively recruited to undergo VW-MR imaging with 1 precontrast phase and 4 consecutive postcontrast phases (9 minutes and 13 seconds for each phase).
FARS2 Deficiency Causes Cardiomyopathy by Disrupting Mitochondrial Homeostasis and the Mitochondrial Quality Control System.

Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common heritable heart disease. Although HCM has been reported to be associated with many variants of genes involved in sarcomeric protein biomechanics, pathogenic genes have not been identified in patients with partial HCM. FARS2 (the mitochondrial phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase), a type of mitochondrial aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, plays a role in the mitochondrial translation machinery.

Background And Objectives: Idiopathic/isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is associated with dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson disease. Despite evidence of abnormal cerebral perfusion in iRBD, there is currently no pattern that can predict whether an individual will develop dementia with Lewy bodies or Parkinson disease. The objective was to identify a perfusion signature associated with conversion to dementia with Lewy bodies in iRBD.

- Simnotrelvir, an oral protease inhibitor, showed promise in treating mild-to-moderate COVID-19 in a phase 2-3 clinical trial.
- In the study, patients received either simnotrelvir plus ritonavir or a placebo, with results indicating that those on the drug experienced faster resolution of symptoms compared to the placebo group.
- Although more adverse events were reported in the simnotrelvir group, most were mild to moderate, suggesting that the treatment is generally safe.
