Correlated levels of cerebrospinal fluid pathogenic proteins in drug-naïve Parkinson’s disease by Hidetomo Murakami (6105284)

“…<h3>Background and aim</h3><p dir="ltr">Toxic oligomeric α-synuclein (αS; O-αS) has been suggested to play a central role in the pathogenesis of Lewy body diseases such as Parkinson’s disease (PD). Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of αS, O-αS, total and phosphorylated tau, and amyloid β 1–42 (Aβ1–42) are thought to reflect the pathophysiology or clinical symptoms in PD. …”

Increased levels of CSF total but not oligomeric or phosphorylated forms of alpha-synuclein in patients diagnosed with probable Alzheimer’s disease by Nour K. Majbour (8809316)

“…<p dir="ltr">Several studies reported an association between CSF alpha-synuclein (α-syn) and tau in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and demonstrated the significance of α-syn in improving the diagnostic sensitivity/specificity of classical AD CSF biomarkers. …”

Circulating lipid levels and risk of coronary artery disease in a large group of patients undergoing coronary angiography by Deeb, Mary E.

“…The younger than average age of onset subgroup shows a pronounced increase in risk for occlusion of the left main coronary artery due to TC/HDL-C ≥4 (OR 3.26). In conclusion, low levels of HDL-cholesterol and high levels TC/HDL-C ratio are strong biological markers of disease occurrence and severity in the Lebanese population.…”

Dihydromyricetin and Salvianolic acid B inhibit alpha-synuclein aggregation and enhance chaperone-mediated autophagy by Jia-Zhen Wu (6844793)

“…Cells were co-transfected with a C-terminal modified α-synuclein (SynT) and synphilin-1, and then treated with DHM (10 μM) and Sal B (50 μM) 16 hours after transfection; levels of α-synuclein aggregation decreased significantly (68% for DHM and 75% for Sal B). …”

A cross-sectional analysis of zinc and copper levels and their relationship to cardiovascular disease risk markers in Qatar biobank participants by Abdelhamid Kerkadi (10724304)

“…The study reveals a link between Zn, Cu, and the Zn/Cu ratio and cardiovascular disease risk. A higher Zn/Cu ratio may protect against CVD, while elevated Cu levels are linked to obesity, fibrinogen levels, and HbA1C. …”

The Anti-Tumor Agent Sodium Selenate Decreases Methylated PP2A, Increases GSK3βY216 Phosphorylation, Including Tau Disease Epitopes and Reduces Neuronal Excitability in SHSY-5Y Neu... by Wesal Habbab (17346961)

“…Somewhat surprisingly, the catalytically active form, methylated PP2A (mePP2A) was significantly decreased. In close correlation to these data, the phosphorylation state of two substrate proteins, sensitive to PP2A activity, GSK3β and Tau were found to be increased. …”

Clinical diagnostic reference levels in neuroradiology based on clinical indication by Antar Aly (13272312)

“…<p dir="ltr">This study focuses on patient radiation exposure in interventional neuroradiology (INR) procedures, a field that has advanced significantly since its inception in the 1980s. INR employs minimally invasive techniques to treat complex cerebrovascular diseases in the head, neck, and spine. …”
