Axillary lymph node dissection: Dead or still alive?

Anna C. Beck, Monica Morrow

Summary: Although sentinel lymph node biopsy is the preferred method for axillary staging and therapeutic for limited nodal disease, axillary lymph node dissection is still necessary in certain cases and for maintaining local control with heavy axillary tumor burden. Knowledge of the number of involved axillary nodes, obtained through axillary lymph node dissection, is also needed for tailored systemic therapies. Ongoing trials will explore the possibility of radiotherapy as a replacement for axillary lymph node dissection in certain circumstances.

Comatose With Basilar Artery Occlusion: Still Odds of Favorable Outcome With Recanalization Therapy

Juhani Ritvonen, Tiina Sairanen, Heli Silvennoinen, Pekka Virtanen, Oili Salonen, Perttu J. Lindsberg, Daniel Strbian

Summary: Around 30-60% of patients with basilar artery occlusion (BAO) present with coma, which is often considered as a hallmark of poor prognosis. Factors associated with acute coma in BAO patients include older age, coronary artery disease, convulsions, extensive early ischemia, absence of patent posterior collateral vasculature, and occlusion over multiple segments of BA. Younger age, less extensive baseline ischemia, recanalization, and avoiding symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage are predictors of favorable outcomes in comatose BAO patients. Older patients with cardiovascular comorbidities and unsuccessful recanalization are associated with poor outcomes.

Glutamate Scavenging as a Neuroreparative Strategy in Ischemic Stroke

Oykum Kaplan-Arabaci, Alperen Acari, Pinar Ciftci, Devrim Gozuacik

Summary: Stroke is the second leading cause of death and disability globally. Ischemic stroke, caused by blood vessel blockage, has limited treatment options. Previous studies aimed at reducing glutamate in ischemic stroke and other neurodegenerative diseases have failed due to delivery obstacles. Systemic glutamate scavenging, a new therapeutic approach, offers the advantage of working in the circulating blood without interfering with brain neurophysiology.

Tonic extracellular glutamate and ischaemia: glutamate antiporter system xc- regulates anoxic depolarization in hippocampus

Bradley S. Heit, Alex Chu, Abhay Sane, David E. Featherstone, Thomas J. Park, John Larson

Summary: Stroke-induced release of glutamate triggers anoxic depolarization (AD) and rapid cell death. Tonic glutamate, regulated by the system x(c)(-), has a significant effect on the latency of AD events and subsequent tissue damage. Transgenic mice lacking the system x(c)(-) exhibit longer AD latencies and altered depolarizing waves after oxygen deprivation, highlighting the role of ambient glutamate in the pathogenesis of acute stroke.

Spatial organization of neuron-astrocyte interactions in the somatosensory cortex

Andres M. Baraibar, Lindsey Belisle, Giovanni Marsicano, Carlos Matute, Susana Mato, Alfonso Araque, Paulo Kofuji

Summary: Microcircuits in the neocortex are functionally organized along layers and columns, and astrocytes play a role in the functional organization and bidirectional interaction between neurons. Activation of astrocytes by endocannabinoids leads to an increase in Ca2+ levels, ATP/adenosine release, and temporary synaptic depression between layer 5 pyramidal neurons at relatively distant synapses. This form of heteroneuronal synaptic depression is specific to cortical columns and layers, depending on layer-specific neuron-to-astrocyte signaling.
