Independent risk factors for new ischemic brain lesions on diffusion-weighted imaging after carotid artery stenting: A retrospective study.

BACKGROUND New ischemic brain lesions detected by diffusion-weighted imaging are common after carotid artery stenting, but factors independently associated with their occurrence remain incompletely defined. METHODS This single-center retrospective study included 97 patients with ischemic stroke and moderate-to-severe...

Beyond Fuel: Metabolic Intermediates as Signaling Molecules in Neuroinflammation and Neurodegeneration.

Historically, research has viewed substantial brain metabolic activity through the lens of energy production, primarily treating metabolites as substrates and products in bioenergetic pathways. However, this paradigm is now evolving. Key metabolic intermediates are recognized not only as components of Adenosine Triphos...
