The standard in vivo diagnostic imaging technique for cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is costly and thereby of limited utility for point-of-care diagnosis and monitoring of treatment efficacy. Recent recognition that retinal changes may reflect cerebral changes in neurodegenerative disease provides an ideal opportunity for development of accessible and cost-effective biomarkers for point-of-care use in the detection and monitoring of CAA. In this pilot study, we examined structural and angiographic retinal changes in CAA patients relative to a control group, and compared retinal and cerebral pathology in a group of CAA patients.

Exon skipping using short antisense oligonucleotides (AONs) is a promising treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Several exon-skipping drugs, including viltolarsen (NS-065/NCNP-01), have been approved worldwide. Immortalized human skeletal muscle cell lines, such as rhabdomyosarcoma cells, are frequently used to screen efficient oligonucleotide sequences. However, rhabdomyosarcoma cells do not recapitulate DMD pathophysiology as they express endogenous dystrophin.

Cognitive impairment due to multiple sclerosis (MS) is common and often limits occupational functioning, contributes to disability, and reduces quality of life. Early detection of cognitive involvement in MS is critical for treatment planning and intervention, and frequent, regular cognitive monitoring may provide insight into subtle changes in disease progression.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic started as a respiratory illness. Now, there are increasing reports of its hypercoagulable and thrombotic complications [[1]] leading to stroke [[2],[3]]. Initial studies suggested strokes to be a feature of severe and late COVID-19 [[2],[4]]; usually occurring in the second week of illness after the onset of typical respiratory symptoms [[4]]. Recent studies identified these even in mild to moderate infection [[5],[6]].

Polyneuropathies associated with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) encompass a group of phenotypically and immunologically heterogeneous neuropathies. While the best characterized is that associated with anti-myelin glycoprotein (MAG) antibodies, there are phenotypical and immunological neuropathy variants that still lack a clear classification. We analyzed a significant number of patients, in order to better evaluate the distribution of neuropathy phenotypes and to look for some common characteristics.

Inflammation is emerging as an essential trigger for thrombosis. In the interplay between innate immunity and coagulation cascade, neutrophils and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) can promote thrombus formation and stabilization. In ischemic stroke, it is uncertain whether the involvement of the inflammatory component may differ in thrombi of diverse etiology. We here aimed to evaluate the presence of neutrophils and NETs in cerebral thrombi of diverse etiology retrieved by endovascular thrombectomy (EVT).

Idiopathic normal-pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is an uncommon neurological disorder with no known pathological hallmarks. INPH may share common degenerative pathways with other neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the reversible properties of iNPH may share differing pathophysiological mechanisms with other diseases. This study aimed at assessing the diagnostic value of plasma chitinase 3-like 1 (CHI3L1) protein levels as a disease-specific biomarker for iNPH.

Despite great progress in radiological diagnostic tools for neurodegenerative disorders, their diagnostic accuracy has been unsatisfactory. One of the pathological hallmarks of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is atrophy of the subthalamic nucleus, which has not attracted much attention for imaging analysis.

Central nervous system (CNS) infections can be caused by a variety of viruses, but in a significant number of patients no viral or other pathogen can be identified using routine diagnostic work-up. Interestingly, several case reports and series described Hepatitis E virus (HEV) as a potential pathogen. However, systematic studies have not been conducted so far.

Reactivation of Human Endogenous Retrovirus K (HERV-K), subtype HML-2, has been associated with pathophysiology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We aimed to assess the efficacy of antiretroviral therapy in inhibiting HML-2 in patients with ALS and a possible association between the change in HML-2 levels and clinical outcomes. We studied the effect of 24-weeks antiretroviral combination therapy with abacavir, lamivudine, and dolutegravir on HML-2 levels in 29 ALS patients. HML-2 levels decreased progressively over 24 weeks (P = 0.001) and rebounded within a week of stopping medications (P = 0.02).

Guidelines recommend routine assessment and management of mood and cognition after stroke, but little is known about the value or feasibility of providing neuropsychology input during the hyper-acute period. We aimed to identify and describe the extent and nature of neuropsychological needs and to investigate the feasibility of providing direct neuropsychology input within a hyper-acute setting.
