Article Abstract
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the leading cause of death from gastrointestinal disease within premature infants, posing a significant concern to infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. In those patients who overcome the disease, there are significant long-term effects that include gastrointestinal effects as well as neurodevelopmental deficits. The pathogenesis of necrotizing enterocolitis and its related brain injury that results in these neurodevelopmental deficits is complex and multifaceted, with much research supporting the idea that NEC-induced inflammation is a major cause of brain injury. Thus, management plans for patients with NEC should include an approach geared towards the reduction of associated complications, such as brain injury. This review is focused on exploring our current understanding of the pathophysiology behind NEC and related brain injury and involvement. IMPACT: This review synthesizes current research on NEC-induced inflammation as a major contributor to brain injury, offering a unified perspective on how gastrointestinal disease can lead to neurodevelopmental deficits in preterm infants.

Major ABO-Incompatible Platelet Transfusions Are Associated With Brain Ischemia After Intracerebral Hemorrhage.

Background: Major ABO-incompatible platelet transfusions are associated with poor intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) outcomes, yet drivers for this relationship remain unclear. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ischemic lesions after ICH are neuroimaging biomarkers of secondary brain injury and are associated with poor outcomes. Given that ABO-incompatible platelet transfusions can induce immune complex formation, thrombo-inflammation, and endothelial barrier disruption, factors that could exacerbate cerebral ischemia, we explored whether major ABO-incompatible platelet transfusions are risk factors for ischemic lesions on brain MRI after ICH.

Reliably defining the risk of adverse in-flight events in aeromedical trauma patients could enable more informed pre-departure treatment and guide central asset allocation to achieve better system-level outcomes. Unfortunately, the current literature base specifically examining the in-flight period is sparse. Flight duration is often considered a proxy for the risk of in-flight deterioration; however, there is limited data to support this commonly held assumption.

Preclinical stroke research faces a critical translational gap, with animal studies failing to reliably predict clinical efficacy. To address this, the field is moving toward rigorous, multicenter preclinical randomized controlled trials (mpRCTs) that mimic phase 3 clinical trials in several key components. This collective statement, derived from experts involved in mpRCTs, outlines considerations for designing and executing such trials.

A 71-year-old black male with a history of hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, history of bladder cancer status-post resection now in remission, history of multiple transient ischemic attacks, and coronary artery disease (CAD) presented with non-exertional substernal chest pain radiating to the left arm, accompanied by shortness of breath and nausea. Initial evaluation revealed elevated troponins and nonspecific electrocardiogram changes, consistent with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography demonstrated severe multivessel disease, including critical left main stenosis.

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), and share several important pathological features including the development of neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) of tau protein. While this association is well established, the underlying pathogenesis is poorly defined and current treatment options remain limited, necessitating novel methods and approaches. In response we developed "TBI-on-a-chip", an trauma model utilizing murine cortical networks on microelectrode arrays (MEAs), capable of reproducing clinically relevant impact injuries while providing simultaneous morphological and electrophysiological readout.
