Abstract

Cerebral small-vessel disease (SVD) is associated with renal dysfunction such as chronic kidney disease. Although cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are common in patients with acute lacunar infarcts (ALI), the association between renal dysfunction and CMBs in such patients remains unclear. Between April 2007 and March 2013, we evaluated consecutive first-ever ALI patients, who were admitted to our hospital within 24 hours of stroke onset. CMBs were defined as focal areas of signal loss in brain parenchyma less than 5 mm on T2(∗)-weighted gradient-echo imaging. Renal dysfunction was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate less than 60 mL/minute/1.73 m(2) on admission. Correlations between renal dysfunction and the presence (model 1) and location of CMBs (model 2; any deep or infratentorial CMBs) were determined by multivariable logistic regression analyses. Among 152 patients (33.6% men; mean age, 67.6 years), 53 had CMBs. Patients with CMBs were older (69.9 versus 66.3 years, P = .03) and had a higher frequency of white matter hyperintensity (WMH; 62.3% versus 25.3%, P < .001), silent lacunar infarcts (SLI; 75.5% versus 43.3%, P < .001), and renal dysfunction (41.5% versus 22.2%, P = .015) than those without CMBs.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
