Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder with a largely unknown duration and pathophysiology of the pre-diagnostic phase, especially for the common non-monogenic form.

Methods: We leveraged the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort with up to 30 years of follow-up to identify incident ALS cases across five European countries. Pre-diagnostic plasma samples from initially healthy participants underwent high-throughput proteomic profiling (7,285 protein markers, SomaScan).

Introduction: Muscle MRI and electrophysiological exercise testing have been reported as useful techniques in hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HypoPP). Striking clinical differences between men and women with this disorder are well known; however, little information is available on complementary tests in the asymptomatic population.

Methods: We recruited 11 individuals with HypoPP from 4 independent families, carrying the frequent p.

Craniofacial rehabilitation demands a multidisciplinary approach where prosthodontists play a pivotal yet often underutilized role in the continuum of care. Traditionally, prosthetic rehabilitation is considered a postsurgical step, leading to delays in functional restoration and compromised outcomes. This editorial emphasizes the need to redefine prosthodontics as an integral component of craniofacial surgical planning, from the operating room to the dental chair.

Stroke triggers a rapid and complex immune response that is not yet fully understood, especially within hours after an ischemic infarct. Our previous study in stroke patients revealed a significant increase in interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) immediately (hyperacute) and downstream of the ischemic ictus, within the arterial compartment. The present study investigated the source, inciting factors, and role of IFN-γ in a preclinical murine model.

Background: Uterine rupture (UR) remains a major cause of maternal morbidity, especially in low-resource settings. While typically detected during labor, some cases are clinically silent, discovered incidentally during imaging/surgery, highlighting a knowledge gap in risk assessment. In Tunisia, 1.
