Effectiveness of motivational interviewing on medication adherence for the prevention of recurrent stroke or transient ischemic attack: Systematic review of randomized controlled trials.

Veröffentlicht: von & gespeichert unter Allgemein.

Background and purpose: This systematic review examines the effectiveness of motivational interviewing (MI) on medication adherence for preventing recurrent stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA). Methods: MEDLINE (via PubMed), CINAHL, PsycINFO, CENTRAL, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched from inception to 12 June 2023. Randomized controlled trials comparing MI with usual care or interventions without MI in… Read more »

Astrocytic uptake of posttranslationally modified amyloid-β leads to endolysosomal system disruption and induction of pro-inflammatory signaling.

Veröffentlicht: von & gespeichert unter Allgemein.

The disruption of astrocytic catabolic processes contributes to the impairment of amyloid-β (Aβ) clearance, neuroinflammatory signaling, and the loss of synaptic contacts in late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD). While it is known that the posttranslational modifications of Aβ have significant implications on biophysical properties of the peptides, their consequences for clearance impairment are not well understood….

Childhood and adolescence factors and multiple sclerosis: results from the German National Cohort (NAKO).

Veröffentlicht: von & gespeichert unter Allgemein.

Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) represents the most common inflammatory neurological disease causing disability in early adulthood. Childhood and adolescence factors might be of relevance in the development of MS. We aimed to investigate the association between various factors (e.g., prematurity, breastfeeding, daycare attendance, weight history) and MS risk. Methods: Data from the baseline assessment of… Read more »

Treatment of Cerebral Histiocytosis With Low Dose of Cobimetinib: A Report of 2 Cases.

Veröffentlicht: von & gespeichert unter Allgemein.

Objectives: Histiocytic disorders are pathologic expansions of myeloid cells in multiple organs, including the CNS. They share activation of the MAP kinase pathway due to either BRAFV600E variant or other variants in the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK pathway. The rarity and heterogeneity of the disease only enable therapy through pathophysiologic considerations. Methods: We present 2 histiocytosis cases without… Read more »

CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy in two patients with multiple sclerosis.

Veröffentlicht: von & gespeichert unter Allgemein.

Background: Progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by compartmentalized smoldering neuroinflammation caused by the proliferation of immune cells residing in the central nervous system (CNS), including B cells. Although inflammatory activity can be prevented by immunomodulatory therapies during early disease, such therapies typically fail to halt disease progression. CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapies… Read more »
