Abstract

Background and Purpose— The effect of obesity on the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) may depend on the pathophysiology of vessel damage. To further address this issue, we investigated and quantified the correlations between obesity and obesity-related conditions in the causal pathways leading to ICH. Methods— A total of 777 ICH cases ≥55 years of age (287 lobar ICH and 490 deep ICH) were consecutively enrolled as part of the Multicenter Study on Cerebral Hemorrhage in Italy and compared with 2083 control subjects by a multivariate path analysis model. Separate analyses were conducted for deep and lobar ICH. Results— Obesity was not independently associated with an increased risk of lobar ICH (odds ratio [OR], 0.76; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.58–1.01) or deep ICH (OR, 1.18; 95% CI, 0.95–1.45) when compared with control subjects. The path analysis confirmed the nonsignificant total effect of obesity on the risk of lobar ICH (OR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.58–1.02) but demonstrated a significant indirect effect on the risk of deep ICH (OR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.03–1.57), mostly determined by hypertension (OR, 1.07; 95% CI, 1.04–1.11) and diabetes mellitus (OR, 1.04; 95% CI, 1.01–1.07). Obesity was also associated with an increased risk of deep ICH when compared with lobar ICH (OR, 1.62; 95% CI, 1.14–2.31). Conclusions— Obesity increases the risk of deep ICH, mostly through an indirect effect on hypertension and other intermediate obesity-related comorbidities, but has no major influence on the risk of lobar ICH. This supports the hypothesis of different, vessel-specific, biological mechanisms underlying the relationship between obesity and cerebral hemorrhage.

Abstract

Background: The kidney-brain interaction has been a topic of growing interest. Past studies of the effect of kidney function on intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) outcomes have yielded inconsistent findings. Although the second, main phase of the Intensive Blood Pressure Reduction in Acute Cerebral Hemorrhage Trial (INTERACT2) suggests the effectiveness of early intensive blood pressure (BP) lowering in improving functional recovery after ICH, the balance of potential benefits and harms of this treatment in those with decreased kidney function remains uncertain. Study Design: Secondary analysis of INTERACT2, which randomly assigned patients with ICH with elevated systolic BP (SBP) to intensive (target SBP < 140 mm Hg) or contemporaneous guideline-based (target SBP < 180 mm Hg) BP management. Setting & Participants: 2,823 patients from 144 clinical hospitals in 21 countries. Predictors Admission estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs) of patients were categorized into 3 groups based on the CKD-EPI (Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration) creatinine equation: normal or high, mildly decreased, and moderately to severely decreased (>90, 60-90, and <60 mL/min/1.73 m2, respectively). Outcome(s): The effect of admission eGFR on the primary outcome of death or major disability at 90 days (defined as modified Rankin Scale scores of 3-6) was analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. Potential effect modification of intensive BP lowering treatment by admission eGFR was assessed by interaction terms. Result(s): Of 2,623 included participants, 912 (35%) and 280 (11%) had mildly and moderately/severely decreased eGFRs, respectively. Patients with moderately/severely decreased eGFRs had the greatest risk for death or major disability at 90 days (adjusted OR, 1.82; 95% CI, 1.28-2.61). Effects of early intensive BP lowering were consistent across different eGFRs (P = 0.5 for homogeneity). Limitation(s): Generalizability issues arising from a clinical tri

Abstract

In patients with ischemic stroke, endovascular treatment results in a higher rate of recanalization of the affected cerebral artery than systemic intravenous thrombolytic therapy. However, comparison of the clinical efficacy of the two approaches is needed.We randomly assigned 362 patients with acute ischemic stroke, within 4.5 hours after onset, to endovascular therapy (intraarterial thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator [t-PA], mechanical clot disruption or retrieval, or a combination of these approaches) or intravenous t-PA. Treatments were to be given as soon as possible after randomization. The primary outcome was survival free of disability (defined as a modified Rankin score of 0 or 1 on a scale of 0 to 6, with 0 indicating no symptoms, 1 no clinically significant disability despite symptoms, and 6 death) at 3 months.A total of 181 patients were assigned to receive endovascular therapy, and 181 intravenous t-PA. The median time from stroke onset to the start of treatment was 3.75 hours for endovascular therapy and 2.75 hours for intravenous t-PA (P0.001). At 3 months, 55 patients in the endovascular-therapy group (30.4%) and 63 in the intravenous t-PA group (34.8%) were alive without disability (odds ratio adjusted for age, sex, stroke severity, and atrial fibrillation status at baseline, 0.71; 95% confidence interval, 0.44 to 1.14; P=0.16). Fatal or nonfatal symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage within 7 days occurred in 6% of the patients in each group, and there were no significant differences between groups in the rates of other serious adverse events or the case fatality rate.The results of this trial in patients with acute ischemic stroke indicate that endovascular therapy is not superior to standard treatment with intravenous t-PA.

Abstract

Objective Sympathetic skin response (SSR) and skin vasomotor response (SVR) habituation was thought to be induced by neural mechanisms. Here, we investigate the hypothesis that non-neural mechanisms could also be involved. Methods We recorded sympathetic skin nerve activity (SSNA) from median nerve by microneurography and the corresponding SSR and SVR in 16 healthy subjects. Superficial electrical stimulation of the opposite median nerve was used to induce arousal responses. Results Throughout stimulation, SSNA, SSR and SVR amplitude showed a significant reduction. During the first ten stimuli, SSNA showed a marked decrease highly correlated to SSR and SVR changes. During the subsequent 20 stimuli SSNA did not change whereas SSR and SVR significantly decreased. SVR was significantly influenced by skin temperature changes. Conclusions Both neural and non-neural mechanisms are involved in SSR and SVR habituation. The neural mechanisms were predominant during the first part of stimulation whereas non-neural mechanisms prevailed during the last part of stimulation. Significance During repeated arousal stimuli SSR and SVR amplitude changes did not reflect the strength of the corresponding sympathetic nerve traffic and must be interpreted with caution.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a multisystem disorder. Many tests in the literature have evaluated single aspects of DM1 patients, mainly focusing on muscular impairment, without an overall quantification of the different disease-specific neurological features. We developed and validated a new functional scale for DM1 patients based on neuromuscular impairment (NI) and disability. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-three patients were tested in basal condition, 18 were re-evaluated after therapeutic intervention with mexiletine, and 13 at one year follow-up without treatment. The scale includes 21 ordinal items in four areas: neuropsychology, motricity, myotonia and daily life activities. We evaluated inter- and intra-observer reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient, ICC and Spearman correlations, respectively), internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha), external validity (Spearman correlations between each area and other clinical and objective measurements and scales), and sensitivity to clinical changes after treatment or at follow-up. RESULTS: Our analysis provided good results for inter-observer agreement (ICC = 0.72-0.97), intra-observer reliability, and internal consistency for all areas (Cronbach's α > 0.73). Total score and single area subscores were significantly correlated to objective measurements, disease duration and multisystem involvement. Finally, the scale was sensitive to clinical changes disclosing a significant improvement after treatment in the items assessing myotonia, and also to disease progression showing a significant worsening in all areas but myotonia in untreated patients. DISCUSSION: Our scale provides a new practical measure to evaluate NI and disability of DM1 patients. Further longitudinal studies are warranted to confirm its reliability in tracking disease progression and severity over a longer period of time.

Abstract

Ross syndrome is characterised by tonic pupil, areflexia and anhidrosis, and the underlying lesion affects postganglionic skin sympathetic nerve fibres. We describe a 51-year-old man who had complained of anhidrosis since adolescence, at which time this problem was limited to the lower arms. The thermoregulatory sweating test disclosed generalised anhidrosis (GA) except for two small skin areas that were located in the right palm and left neck. Immunofluorescence analysis disclosed no cholinergic sudomotor fibres around the sweat glands of non-sweating skin areas, which were evident although sparse and deranged in the sweating site. In our patient, GA was induced by degeneration of postganglionic sympathetic skin nerve fibres, as found in Ross syndrome, although his clinical picture was incomplete as it lacked tonic pupil and areflexia. Isolated GA induced by degeneration of postganglionic sympathetic nerve fibers, directly evaluated by skin biopsy, has not previously been described.

Abstract

Studies comparing the efficacy of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) versus surgery in correcting cardiovascular abnormalities in OSAS are lacking. We describe an OSAS patient with hypertension who responded favorably to CPAP treatment, whereas subsequent uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) was less successful. While CPAP markedly lowered daytime muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) and blood pressure (BP), findings after UPPP were comparable to pre-treatment baseline. Thus, parallel changes in MSNA and BP demonstrated treatment efficacy.

Abstract

Background: Hypogammaglobulinemia (HG) is a known side effect of treatment with anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies, and it is associated with the risk of infections., Objectives: Aim of this retrospective multicentre study was to assess the frequency of HG in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder patients treated with Ocrelizumab or Rituximab and its association with the occurrence of severe infections (SI). Furthermore, predictors of HG and SI were sought., Methods: We included 556 patients (190M, 366F, mean age: 47 years) with a mean follow-up of 28 months (range 12-90 months)., Results: IgG HG occurred in 20% and IgM HG in 34% of patients. At multivariable analysis, the risk of IgG HG was influenced by an older age (≥50 years) (OR 1.64, 95%CI: 1.06-2.54, p=0.027), and by the number of treatment cycles (OR: 1.20, 95%CI: 1.09-1.33, p<0.001). A total of 25 SI occurred (100 person-years rate: 1.8), with a disease phenotype other than relapsing-remitting (OR 1.50, 95%CI: 1.02-2.20; p=0.039) and IgG HG (OR 2.65, 95%CI: 1.15-6.12; p=0.022) increasing its risk., Conclusions: IgG and IgM HG occurred in a considerable proportion of patients. IgG HG increased the risk of SI, which were, nevertheless, relatively infrequent. Our results highlight the importance of monitoring immunoglobulin levels during treatment with anti-CD20 agents, to personalize treatment strategies., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest K.

Abstract

Comparing electronic nose (e-nose) performance is a challenging task because of a lack of standardised method. This paper proposes a method for defining and quantifying an indicator of the effectiveness of multi-sensor systems in detecting cancers by artificial breath analysis. To build this method, an evaluation of the performances of an array of metal oxide sensors built for use as a lung cancer screening tool was conducted. Breath from 20 healthy volunteers has been sampled in fluorinated ethylene propylene sampling bags. These healthy samples were analysed with and without the addition of nine volatile organic compound (VOC) cancer biomarkers, chosen from literature. The concentration of the VOC added was done in increasing amounts. The more VOC were added, the better the discrimination between 'healthy' samples (breath without additives) and 'cancer' samples (breath with additives) was. By determining at which level of concentration the e-nose fails to reliably discriminate between the two groups, we estimate its ability to well predict the presence of the disease or not in a realistic situation. In this work, a home-made e-nose is put to the test. The results underline that the biomarkers need to be about 5.3 times higher in concentration than in real breath for the home-made nose to tell the difference between groups with a sufficient confidence., (© 2024 IOP Publishing Ltd.)
