An increased dietary intake of folate reduces the risk of developing AD.

Depression and anxiety in Parkinson's disease might be associated with a specific loss of dopamine and noradrenaline innervation in the limbic system.

In a randomized trial of neurosurgical clipping versus endovascular coiling for ruptured intracranial aneurysms, endovascular coiling was more likely to result in independent survival at 1 year.

Successful treatment of SDB, which is frequently associated with chronic sleepwalking, controlled the syndrome in young adults.

Dopamine neuronal replacement cell therapy can be beneficial for patients with advanced disease, and that changing technical approaches could have a favorable impact on efficacy and adverse events following neural transplantation.
-
Introduction of HAART has dramatically modified the natural history of HIV disease by controlling viral replication, but, in turn, lengthening of the survival of HIV-infected individuals has been associated with an increasing prevalence of iatrogenic conditions.
-
More recent trials, and meta-analyses of all trials, have shown a reduction in death and myocardial infarction (MI) with a routine invasive strategy vs an ischemia or symptom-driven invasive strategy over 6-24 months for patients with non-ST elevation (E) acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, an increase in death during the initial hospitalization in the routine invasive arm makes long-term outcome data important. Thus, the British Heart Foundation RITA 3 trial 5-year data are of interest.
-
In patients presenting with high-risk STEMI, TNK plus immediate angioplasty reduced the risk of recurrent ischemic events compared with TNK alone and was not associated with an increase in major bleeding complications.

Arrhythmia is the primary problem rather than a marker of an underlying cardiomyopathy.

Left atrial remodeling in competitive athletes may be regarded as a physiologic adaptation to exercise conditioning, largely without adverse clinical consequences.
