Prevalence and course of muscle-specific receptor tyrosine kinase (MuSK) antibodies in myasthenia gravis
18 May 2025
Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular disease typically associated with acetylcholine receptor (AChR) autoantibodies. However, in AChR-negative cases, autoantibodies against muscle-specific receptor tyrosine kinase (MuSK) may be present. Given the rarity of MuSK autoantibodies, there is limited information on their development and significance as biomarkers of disease activity.

Adjunctive middle meningeal artery embolization for chronic subdural hematoma
7 May 2025
Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is a common neurosurgical condition with high recurrence rates, particularly in elderly patients. The pathophysiology involves complex mechanisms of angiogenesis, fibrinolysis, and inflammation, leading to progressive hemorrhage and fluid accumulation.
Cutting-edge stroke prevention strategies
2 May 2025
Stroke remains a leading global cause of death and long-term disability. While acute treatments have improved, prevention—through education and risk factor reduction—is more effective, especially since over 75% of strokes are first-time events. This paper outlines key risk factors and emerging therapies to support more effective prevention strategies.

Safety of intravenous thrombolysis in central retinal artery occlusion patients with concomitant acute cerebral infarctions
24 Mar 2025
Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) results in severe visual impairment. Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) is a potential treatment for CRAO, but ambiguous data regarding efficacy and the possibility that the presence of cerebral infarctions may increase the risk of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) raise concerns. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the safety of IVT in patients with CRAO.
Differential diagnosis of multiple system atrophy with predominant parkinsonism and Parkinson's disease using neural networks
18 Mar 2025
Neural networks (NNs) possess the capability to learn complex data relationships, recognize inherent patterns by emulating human brain functions, and generate predictions based on novel data.
