This article proposes a wearable system for rapid response during acute hypertension. The system consists of a flexible electrode patch and a signal acquisition module, which is designed for real-time monitoring of photoelectric volume pulse graph (PPG), electrocardiogram (ECG), and bioelectrical impedance (Bio-Z). The flexible patch and miniaturized signal acquisition module provide comfort to the users while maintaining stable contact with human chest skin, and successfully collects three physiological signals, demonstrating its potential application in the healthcare field. In addition, this article introduces a lightweight and effective method based on PPG signal trend components for acute hypertension monitoring, whose effectiveness is verified with animal experiments. As a result, the system reveals a response time of less than 10 s. For the blood pressure rising stage, a mean absolute error (MAE) of 3.34 mmHg between the PPG-based value and the average blood pressure is achieved. For the blood pressure declining stage, an MAE of 2.42 mmHg between the PPG-based value and the average blood pressure is achieved. The results demonstrate a strong correlation between the PPG signal trend components and the blood pressure during acute hypertension monitoring.
BACKGROUND:Chronic normal pressure hydrocephalus (CNPH) is a recognized sequela of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (ASAH). Ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) is a conventional treatment for hydrocephalus, though its effectiveness for CNPH post-ASAH remains unclear. METHODS:We included ASAH patients with CNPH who underwent VPS surgery. Changes in the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) before and after surgery were analyzed to evaluate VPS benefits. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator identified relevant variables and predictive models were constructed using 8 supervised machine learning algorithms to assess VPS benefit. RESULTS:Among 75 patients (39 males and 36 females), 48 (64%) benefited from VPS, while 27 (36%) did not. The beneficial group showed a longer disease course, higher cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure, lower red and white blood cell counts in CSF, and lower modified Fisher (MF) and Hunt-Hess (HH) grades compared to the nonbeneficial group. Univariate logistic regression analysis indicated that disease course, CSF pressure, red blood cell/white blood cell (WBC) counts in CSF, WBC count in blood, MF grade, HH grade, and preoperative mRS were associated with favorable VPS outcomes. The extreme gradient boosting (XGB) model demonstrated the highest area under the curve of 0.946 and lowest residual error. A nomogram was subsequently developed and demonstrated a satisfactory performance. CONCLUSIONS:VPS benefits in CNPH patients after ASAH were associated with disease course, CSF pressure, red blood cell/WBC counts in CSF, WBC count in blood, MF and HH grades, and preoperative mRS. The XGB model demonstrated optimal predictive performance, with an area under the curve of 0.946.
The nervous and immune systems are crucial in fighting infections and inflammation and in maintaining immune homeostasis. The immune and nervous systems are independent, yet tightly integrated and coordinated organizations. Numerous molecules and receptors play key roles in enabling communication between the two systems. Transient receptor potential vanilloid subfamily member 1 (TRPV1) is a non-selective cation channel, recently shown to be widely expressed in the neuroimmune axis and implicated in neuropathic pain, autoimmune disorders, and immune cell function. TRPV1 is a key bridge in neuroimmune interactions, allowing for smooth and convenient communication between the two systems. Here, we discuss the coordinated cross-talking between the immune and nervous systems and the functional role and the functioning manner of the TRPV1 involved. We suggest that TRPV1 provides new insights into the collaborative relationship between the nervous and immune systems, highlighting exciting opportunities for advanced therapeutic approaches to treating neurogenic inflammation and immune-mediated diseases.
AbstractBackgroundThe integration of 7 Tesla (7T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with advanced multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) models represents a promising frontier in neuroimaging. The superior spatial resolution of 7TMRI provides detailed visualizations of brain structure, which are crucial forunderstanding complex central nervous system diseases and tumors. Concurrently, the application of multimodal AI to medical images enables interactive imaging‐based diagnostic conversation.MethodsIn this paper, we systematically investigate the capacity and feasibility of applying the existing advanced multimodal AI model ChatGPT‐4V to 7T MRI under the context of brain tumors. First, we test whether ChatGPT‐4V has knowledge about 7T MRI, and whether it can differentiate 7T MRI from 3T MRI. In addition, we explore whether ChatGPT‐4V can recognize different 7T MRI modalities and whether it can correctly offer diagnosis of tumors based on single or multiple modality 7T MRI.ResultsChatGPT‐4V exhibited accuracy of 84.4% in 3T‐vs‐7T differentiation and accuracy of 78.9% in 7T modality recognition. Meanwhile, in a human evaluation with three clinical experts, ChatGPT obtained average scores of 9.27/20 in single modality‐based diagnosis and 21.25/25 in multiple modality‐based diagnosis. Our study indicates that single‐modality diagnosis and the interpretability of diagnostic decisions in clinical practice should be enhanced when ChatGPT‐4V is applied to 7T data.ConclusionsIn general, our analysis suggests that such integration has promise as a tool to improve the workflow of diagnostics in neurology, with a potentially transformative impact in the fields of medical image analysis and patient management.
Progress in medicine such as the use of anti-infective drugs and development of the advanced life support equipment has greatly improved the survival rate of patients with sepsis. However, the incidence of sepsis-related diseases is increasing. These include severe neurologic and psychologic disorders, cognitive decline, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Cerebral dysfunction occurs via multiple interacting mechanisms, with different causative pathogens having distinct effects. Because sepsis-related diseases place a substantial burden on patients and their families, it is important to elucidate the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms to develop effective treatments.

Background Both periodontal disease and benign prostatic hyperplasia are age-related diseases that affect millions of people worldwide. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the association between periodontal disease and the risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Methods A total of 4930 participants were selected from an available health examination that was carried out in 2017, only males were considered for further analysis. All eligible males were divided into benign prostatic hyperplasia and normal groups, the benign prostatic hyperplasia group was then divided into prostate volume ≤ 60 g and > 60 g subgroups; all their periodontal status was extracted and then into normal (CPI score of 0), periodontal disease (CPI score between 1 and 4), and periodontitis (CPI score between 3 and 4) groups. The correlation between periodontal disease and benign prostatic hyperplasia was investigated using logistic regression analyses and greedy matching case-control analysis. Subgroup analysis based on prostate volume was also performed. All analyses were conducted with SAS 9.4 software. Results A total of 2171 males were selected for this analysis. The presence of periodontal disease significantly increased the risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia by 1.68 times ( OR = 1.68, 95% CI: 1.26–2.24), and individuals with periodontitis showed a higher risk ( OR = 4.18, 95% CI: 2.75–6.35). In addition, among matched cases and controls, this association remained robust (periodontal disease: OR = 1.85, 95% CI: 1.30–2.64; periodontitis: OR = 4.83, 95% CI: 2.57–9.07). Subgroup analysis revealed that periodontal disease significantly increased benign prostate hyperplasia risk as well (for prostate volume ≤ 60 g: OR = 1.64, 95% CI: 1.22–2.20; for volume > 60 g: OR = 2.17, 95% CI: 1.04–4.53), and there was a higher risk in the group with a prostate volume greater than 60 g. Conclusion Periodontal disease is significantly and positively associated with an increased risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Further validation studies should be performed to explore the relationship between periodontal treatment and benign prostate hyperplasia.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between periodontal disease and breast cancer. Materials and Methods: PubMed and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases were searched up to February 8, 2018 for observational studies examining the association between periodontal disease and breast cancer. Study selection was conducted according to predesigned eligibility criteria, and two authors independently extracted data from included studies. Meta-analysis was performed using the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis v2 software and risk estimates were calculated as relative risks (RRs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: A total of 11 study were included. Meta-analysis indicated that periodontal disease significantly increased the risk of breast cancer by 1.22-fold (RR = 1.22, 95% CI = 1.06-1.40). Amongst participants with periodontal patients and a history of periodontal therapy, the risk of developing breast cancer was not significant (RR = 1.23; 95% CI = 0.95-1.60). The association results between periodontal diseases and breast cancer were found to be robust, as evident in the leave-one-out sensitivity analysis. Conclusions: Periodontal disease may be a potential risk factor for the development of breast cancer among women, and thus effective periodontal therapy may present as a valuable preventive measure against breast cancer.
