Summary: The study included 115 patients with moderate-to-severe TBI who underwent NSE measurements within 6 hours after injury and brain MRI within 30 days. The NGR on admission was found to be significantly lower in patients without DAI compared to those with DAI, showing high diagnostic accuracy.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between circulating leukocytes and serum fibrinogen and neuronal injury in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. The results showed a positive correlation between leukocytes and fibrinogen with neuronal injury. Therefore, circulating leukocytes, fibrinogen, and neuron-specific enolase may be potential targets for reducing inflammatory reaction after ischemic stroke.

Summary: This study examined the levels of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and neurofilament light chain (NFL) in the plasma of patients with COVID-19 and neurological symptoms. The results showed that high serum levels of NSE were associated with disease severity, while serum NFL levels may play a role in the subacute phase of COVID-19.

Summary: Neuropathy is a growing public health concern, especially among older adults, adolescents, and athletes. The causes of neuropathy include aging, violence, and conflicts related to sports. The understanding of the signaling pathways involved in neuronal aging and damage is incomplete, and evidence-based treatments for neuropathy are lacking. This review focuses on the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in disease progression, specifically in neuronal damage. The challenges and obstacles in isolating and analyzing neuronal EVs are discussed, with an emphasis on the application of EVs in translational medicine.

Summary: Autistic spectrum disease (ASD) is a common diagnosis with a prevalence of 1-2% worldwide. The complex causality of ASD, involving genetic, immune, metabolic, and environmental factors, leads to a wide range of developmental disorders characterized by repetitive behaviors and social interaction difficulties. Currently, there is no commonly used diagnostic and therapeutic strategy for ASD, making it challenging to find disease biomarkers and medications. However, a clinical study has discovered that the elevation of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) levels could be a potential biomarker for ASD kids, offering new possibilities for diagnosis, evaluation, and intervention.

Summary: The study reveals a significant impact of home confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic on the sleep quality of PD patients, with some reporting new-onset or worsening sleep disturbances. Lack of family support, prolonged home confinement, and longer duration of PD are risk factors for the onset of sleep disturbances, while engaging in physical activity for over an hour per day and adopting new hobbies may contribute to better sleep quality.

Summary: Gastrointestinal symptoms and gut dysbiosis may precede motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD), potentially serving as early biomarkers. Environmental toxins and gut dysbiosis can trigger oxidative stress, inflammation, and early alpha-synuclein accumulation in the enteric nervous system, leading to neuro inflammation and neuro degeneration.

Summary: Parkinson's disease is a chronic, progressive neurological disorder characterized by motor and non-motor fluctuations, dyskinesia, and gastrointestinal dysfunction. Advanced Parkinson's disease management is complex, with a growing recognition of the impact of GI dysfunction on symptoms and treatment options. Objectives monitoring tools such as the PKG can aid in identifying suitable treatment options for advanced Parkinson's disease patients.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of genetic polymorphisms in the COMT gene on the pharmacokinetics and adverse events of levodopa in PD patients. The results showed that PD patients with variant genotypes of COMT rs6269, rs4633, and rs4680 had a higher incidence of levodopa-induced dyskinesia, and patients with low COMT (ACCG) haplotype had a higher AUC of levodopa. Therefore, genotyping COMT before levodopa therapy can be useful in reducing adverse events.

Summary: This study analyzed whole genome sequencing data from 90 young onset Parkinson's disease patients and identified pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants in 8 individuals, rare heterozygous GBA coding variants in 13 individuals, and variants of uncertain significance in PD/PD-relevant genes in 34 individuals. The study suggests that both significant rare variants and polygenic risk may contribute to the development of PD.

Summary: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is characterized by raised intracranial pressure in the absence of abnormalities in brain imaging and cerebrospinal fluid composition. The disease primarily affects women of working age, with headache being the predominant symptom in over 90% of cases. Treatment options are limited, with medical management being the common approach and surgical procedures considered for those with progressive visual loss.
