Decreased Level of IL-37 Correlates Negatively with Inflammatory Cytokines in Cerebrospinal Fluid of Patients with Neuro-Behcet’s Disease
Background: Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic inflammatory disease with a chronic, relapsing-remitting course of unknown etiology. Neuro-Behcet’s disease (NBD) induce serious CNS complications and are known to be the main cause of long-term morbidity and mortality.

متن کاملS-adenosylmethionine is decreased in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with Alzheimer's disease.
BACKGROUND Increased plasma homocysteine levels have been described as an independent risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the underlying pathophysiology is unclear. OBJECTIVE This single-center, cross-sectional, correlational study analyzed homocysteine metabolism in 60 AD patients and 60 control subjects.

متن کاملDecreased Motor Function Is Associated with Poorer Cognitive Function in Elderly with Type 2 Diabetes
BACKGROUND/AIMS Impaired motor function has been associated with cognitive impairment and dementia, but this relationship is poorly understood in elderly with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We thus investigated it in a large sample (n = 726) of cognitively normal elderly with T2D. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, hierarchical linear regressions assessed correlations of 3 motor measures (timed w...
متن کاملPersistence of Pneumolysin in the Cerebrospinal Fluid of Patients With Pneumococcal Meningitis Is Associated With Mortality
Poor prognosis in Pneumococcal meningitis may be associated with high pneumolysin levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). In patient samples we showed that pneumolysin levels in CSF remained high after 48 hours in nonsurvivors of meningitis compared with survivors. Selective antipneumolysin treatment may present a novel therapeutic option.
