Summary: Stroke is the second leading cause of death and disability, with limited therapeutic strategies. Blood-based biomarkers, such as microRNAs and exosomes, are recognized as useful tools to predict prognosis in patients with stroke. This systematic review identified 72 circulating biomarkers with prognostic value in stroke recovery, including 68 miRNAs predictive for motor recovery and seven biomarkers predictive for cognitive recovery. The most significant correlations were found with miR-21, miR-29b, miR-125b-5p, miR-126, and miR-335. Serum miR-9 and neutrophil miR-29b were identified as promising biomarkers for further studies.

Summary: Ischemic stroke, resulting from sudden blockage of brain blood vessels, has a significant impact on health. Recent studies have highlighted the influence of the neurovascular unit on stroke outcomes, providing new strategies for treatment. The pathophysiology and neurovascular repair processes of IS are closely linked to the homeostatic state of the NVU, suggesting potential expansions in treatment options.

Summary: This systematic review aimed to assess the range and quality of clinical and preclinical evidence supporting the association of individual microRNAs and their use in the diagnosis and prognosis of ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke. The findings highlighted specific microRNAs that consistently showed differential expression in both clinical and preclinical samples following stroke. However, further studies with larger populations and consistent methodologies are needed to confirm the clinical value of circulating microRNAs as biomarkers for stroke.

Summary: Ischemic stroke is a severe global cerebral vascular disease with high disability and mortality rates, where the neurovascular unit (NVU) plays a crucial role. Exosomes mediate cell-to-cell communication within the NVU, with clinical trials showing significant diagnostic and prognostic roles of exosomes in stroke patients.

Summary: We conducted a meta-analysis on the clinical efficacy of berberine (BBR) in treating acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and its anti-inflammatory effects. The analysis included 17 clinical trials involving 1670 AIS patients. The results showed that BBR in combination with conventional treatment significantly reduced inflammatory markers and improved outcomes compared to conventional treatment alone.

Summary: Stroke, a complex and heterogeneous disease, poses challenges for early diagnosis and treatment due to the lack of specific diagnostic biomarkers. This review identifies four promising biomarkers for early diagnosis, differentiation between ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, and prediction of hemorrhagic transformation. Integration of these biomarkers could significantly improve stroke patients' detection and treatment. However, further research and validation are needed to demonstrate their clinical utility in routine stroke treatment.

Summary: Younger age, PR negative status, tumor grade, and advanced lymph nodes postsurgery are independent prognostic factors of disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in young patients with resected breast cancer. In hormone receptor-positive patients, those with ER+ or PR+ and HER2-/+ status showed poorer prognosis. Risk factor grouping based on certain factors can identify patients with poorer prognosis in young breast cancer cases.

Summary: This article investigates current sharing based on incremental passivity control for multilevel connected dc-dc converters. By combining passivity-based control with a finite-time estimator, a linear control law is proposed despite the bilinear nature of the system. Analysis shows that stability and current sharing are independent of inductor parameters. Simulation and experiments validate the proposed control scheme's fast transit response and antidisturbance performance.

Summary: In this paper, a new magnetic coupler array is proposed to implement dynamic wireless charging and reduce power pulsation. By adjusting the transmitter spacing and designing a larger receiver coil, power pulsation and null power phenomenon are successfully mitigated. Furthermore, a multilevel connected DC-DC converter is designed to regulate transfer power, and a passivity-based control method and current sharing compensator are developed.

Summary: The assembly process of extrinsic neurons in the Drosophila mushroom body (MB) is not well understood. In this study, the authors followed the development of DANs and MBONs in the adult MB and found that these neurons innervate the lobes sequentially and their neurite arborizations in the lobes are independent of each other. The dendrites of MBONs show a hierarchical organization of guidance signals.

Summary: Roll-to-roll printed electronics is a low-cost and high-efficiency manufacturing method that requires stable web tension control. Traditional control methods struggle to guarantee control accuracy due to uncertainties, hence a nonlinear model predictive control scheme is proposed to eliminate disturbances. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is validated through MATLAB simulations and performance tests.

Summary: In this study, experimental investigation on the flow and heat transfer characteristics of a thin liquid film in micro circular tubes with an inner diameter of 0.5 mm was conducted. The results showed that the temperature and pressure fluctuation was consistent with the generation of bubble clusters, providing insights into the mechanism of flow boiling instability. The characteristics of void fraction, such as the duration of bubbles and liquid slugs, were obtained from the dynamic distribution diagram of the liquid film thickness, and the experimental data showed a good agreement with the homogeneous model. The temporary variation of the thin liquid film offered an opportunity to probe the physics of bubble dynamics and instability during flow boiling.

Summary: This study evaluated the performance of e-ASPECTS software in delineating the extent of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) on brain CT scans. The results showed that the software achieved excellent or good delineation of ICH extent in 71% of cases. However, it was more likely to over- or under-estimate the extent when ICH was more extensive, intraventricular, or extra-axial.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of endovascular treatment (EVT) in primary and EVT-induced secondary medium-vessel occlusions (MeVO). The results showed that primary MeVO had poorer outcomes in terms of complications, EVT efficacy, and the proportion of patients with a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) of 0-2 at 3 months compared to exclusive large-vessel occlusion (LVO). However, EVT-induced secondary MeVO showed similar safety and efficacy outcomes as exclusive LVO and had better outcomes in terms of mRS 0-2 compared to primary MeVO.

The study found that rural counties had significantly longer travel distances and times compared to urban counties. Counties with high and medium stroke prevalence also had higher travel times and distances compared to low stroke prevalence counties. Therefore, addressing transportation barriers and implementing tele-rehabilitation are crucial for improving access to stroke aftercare in these areas.

The results showed that serum ALP levels in ICH patients were significantly elevated and correlated with hematoma volume and Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score. High serum ALP levels may serve as a potential predictor for the severity and unfavorable prognosis of ICH.
