Highlights

Oral Pyruvate Effects on Dorsal Root Ganglia in Simulated Weightlessness Rats
Long-term microgravity in spaceflight has been demonstrated with induction of multi-organ damage and dysfunction, including the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) injury. Present studies investigated protective effects of oral pyruvate in drinking water on lumbar 5 (L5) DRG tissues in rats subjected with hindlimb unweighting (HU).

A Pilot Clinical Trial of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Mild Cognitive Impairment
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is defined as a progressive memory dysfunction. There are controversies with regards to whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) could improve the condition. In a randomized, self-control, crossover clinical trial, effect of rTMS on cognitive performance in patients with MCI was assessed.

Cerebral Coagulation Complications Following COVID-19 Adenoviral Vector Vaccines: A Systematic Review
While administration of millions of doses of the adenoviral vector vaccines (e.g., Oxford-AstraZeneca (ChAdOx1 nCoV-19) and Janssen/Johnson & Johnson (Ad26.COV2. S)) has helped control the disease, numerous cases of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) with thrombocytopenia have been reported in vaccinated individuals. Full Text

Reported Incidences of Postoperative Delirium in State and National Hospital Claims Databases
The aim of the study was to evaluate the incidence of postoperative delirium (POD) following a comprehensive list of surgical procedures utilizing data from state and national inpatient hospital databases. The incidence of POD occurring during surgical hospital admissions was evaluated across 15 surgical categories, and different patient demographics using California State Inpatient Database (SID) and National Inpatient Sample (NIS).

Diagnostic Dilemma of Aspergillus Meningitis in Patients With Hepatitis C Virus Co-Infection: A Case Series
Aspergillus meningitis can occur in immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients. The diagnostic yield is only 39% in immunocompromised patients and 69% in immunocompetent patients. Diagnosis can be challenging, as repeated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cultures can be negative. Even with multiple cultures, the diagnostic yield is meager, sometimes requiring a tissue diagnosis.
