Low Lymphocyte-to-Monocyte Ratio as a Possible Predictor of an Unfavourable Clinical Outcome in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke after Mechanical Thrombectomy by Katarína Pinčáková, Georgi Krastev, Jozef Haring, Miroslav Mako, Viktória Mikulášková, Vladimír Bošák

“…Although considerable progress has been made in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS), the clinical outcome of patients is still significantly influenced by the inflammatory response that follows stroke-induced brain injury. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential use of complete blood count parameters, including indices and ratios, for predicting the clinical outcome in AIS patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy (MT). …”

Gray matter volume and asymmetry in Broca's and Wernicke's area homologs in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) using a probabilistic region of interest approach by William D Hopkins, Muhammad A Spocter, Michele M Mulholland, Chet C Sherwood

“…Broca's and Wernicke's areas are comprised of Brodmann areas 44, 45 and 22 in the human brain. Because of their roles in higher cognitive and linguistic function, there has been historical and contemporary interest in comparative studies on the morphology and cytoarchitectonic organization in Broca's and Wernicke's between primate species. …”

Research progress in unilateral moyamoya disease by Xiaokuan Hao, Cunxin Tan, Ziqi Liu, Yang Tie, Yanru Wang, Shihao He, Ran Duan, Rong Wang, Rong Wang

“…Unilateral moyamoya disease (U-MMD) is a chronic vascular disease characterized by progressive stenosis and occlusion of the terminal end of the internal carotid artery and its main branches, resulting in the appearance of moyamoya-like blood vessels at the base of the brain. The etiology of U-MMD is unknown, it accounts for 9.7–17.8% of all moyamoya disease, and the family incidence is 5.5–13.3%. …”

High-fat diet triggers transcriptomic changes in the olfactory bulb by Young-Kook Kim, Danbi Jo, Seoyoon Choi, Juhyun Song

“…Recent studies have focused on olfactory dysfunction in patients with obesity and diabetes accompanied by cognitive dysfunction, considering that the synaptic signal from the olfactory bulb is directly transmitted to memory consolidation–related brain regions. This study investigated transcriptomic changes in the olfactory bulb in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice compared to that in normal-diet–fed mice. …”
