الوصف: Signal-averaged sympathetic transduction of blood pressure (BP) is inversely related to resting muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) burst frequency in healthy cohorts. Whether this represents a physiological compensatory adaptation or a methodological limitation, remains unclear. The current analysis aimed to determine the contribution of methodological limitations by evaluating the dependency of MSNA transduction at different levels of absolute BP. Thirty-six healthy participants (27 ± 7 yr, 9 females) underwent resting measures of beat-to-beat heart rate, BP, and muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA). Tertiles of mean arterial pressure (MAP) were computed for each participant to identify cardiac cycles occurring below, around, and above the MAP operating pressure (OP). Changes in hemodynamic variables were computed across 15 cardiac cycles within each MAP tertile to quantify sympathetic transduction. MAP increased irrespective of sympathetic activity when initiated below the OP, but with MSNA bursts provoking larger rises (3.0 ± 0.9 vs. 2.1 ± 0.7 mmHg

الوصف: Calculating the blood pressure (BP) response to a burst of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA), termed sympathetic transduction, may be influenced by an individual’s resting burst frequency. We examined the relationships between sympathetic transduction and MSNA in 107 healthy males and females and developed a normalized sympathetic transduction metric to incorporate resting MSNA. Burst-triggered signal averaging was used to calculate the peak diastolic BP response following each MSNA burst (sympathetic transduction of BP) and following incorporation of MSNA burst cluster patterns and amplitudes (sympathetic transduction slope). MSNA burst frequency was negatively correlated with sympathetic transduction of BP ( r = −0.42; P < 0.01) and the sympathetic transduction slope ( r = −0.66; P < 0.01), independent of sex. MSNA burst amplitude was unrelated to sympathetic transduction of BP in males ( r = 0.04; P = 0.78), but positively correlated in females ( r = 0.44; P < 0.01) and with the sympathetic transduction slope in all participants ( r = 0.42; P < 0.01). To control for MSNA, the linear regression slope of the log-log relationship between sympathetic transduction and MSNA burst frequency was used as a correction exponent. In subanalysis of males (38 ± 10 vs. 14 ± 4 bursts/min) and females (28 ± 5 vs. 12 ± 4 bursts/min) with high versus low MSNA, sympathetic transduction of BP and sympathetic transduction slope were lower in participants with high MSNA (all P < 0.05). In contrast, normalized sympathetic transduction of BP and normalized sympathetic transduction slope were similar in males and females with high versus low MSNA (all P > 0.22). We propose that incorporating MSNA burst frequency into the calculation of sympathetic transduction will allow comparisons between participants with varying levels of resting MSNA.

الوصف: Subpopulations of muscle sympathetic single units can be inhibited during mild sympathoexcitatory stress. We demonstrate that rhythmic handgrip exercise and isocapnic hypoxia, when matched by multiunit sympathoexcitation, induce similar proportions of single-unit inhibition, highlighting that heterogeneous single-unit response patterns are related to the level of sympathoexcitation independent of the stressor type. Interestingly, only 47% of single units behaved with concordant response patterns between stressors, suggesting the potential for functional specificity within the postganglionic neuronal pool.

الوصف: We provide here the first systematic review on the studies dealing with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for traumatic brain injury (TBI) in animals and humans. Several experimental studies in animal models have explored with promising results the use of rTMS to enhance neuroprotection and recovery after TBI. However, there are surprisingly few studies that have obtained substantial evidence regarding effects of rTMS in humans with TBI, many of them are case reports investigating the heterogeneous conditions linked to TBI. The most studies have investigated the effects of rTMS in subjects with post-traumatic depression and variable effects have been observed. rTMS has been proposed as an experimental approach for the treatment of disorders of consciousness (DOC), but in subjects with TBI therapeutic effects on DOC have also been variously documented. Beneficial effects have been reported in subjects with cognitive/emotional disturbances and auditory dysfunction (tinnitus and hallucinations), although the results are somewhat conflicting. rTMS applied over the left prefrontal cortex may relieve, at least transiently, post-traumatic headache. Isolated rTMS studies have been performed in TBI patients with motor impairment, chronic dizziness or pain. Especially whether provided in combination, rTMS and neurorehabilitation may be synergistic in the potential to translate experimental findings in the clinical practice. In order to reach definitive conclusions, well-designed randomized controlled studies with larger patient samples, improved design and optimized rTMS setup, are warranted to verify and corroborate the initial promising findings.

الوصف: Objective: This study was undertaken to assess the impact of immunosuppressive and immunomodulatory therapies on the severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). Methods: We retrospectively collected data of PwMS with suspected or confirmed COVID-19. All the patients had complete follow-up to death or recovery. Severe COVID-19 was defined by a 3-level variable: mild disease not requiring hospitalization versus pneumonia or hospitalization versus intensive care unit (ICU) admission or death. We evaluated baseline characteristics and MS therapies associated with severe COVID-19 by multivariate and propensity score (PS)-weighted ordinal logistic models. Sensitivity analyses were run to confirm the results. Results: Of 844 PwMS with suspected (n = 565) or confirmed (n = 279) COVID-19, 13 (1.54%) died; 11 of them were in a progressive MS phase, and 8 were without any therapy. Thirty-eight (4.5%) were admitted to an ICU; 99 (11.7%) had radiologically documented pneumonia; 96 (11.4%) were hospitalized. After adjusting for region, age, sex, progressive MS course, Expanded Disability Status Scale, disease duration, body mass index, comorbidities, and recent methylprednisolone use, therapy with an anti-CD20 agent (ocrelizumab or rituximab) was significantly associated (odds ratio [OR] = 2.37, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.18–4.74, p = 0.015) with increased risk of severe COVID-19.

الوصف: The current study evaluated the influence of resting muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) burst size and firing pattern on time-to-peak sympathetic transduction in 36 young healthy men and women. Participants underwent a 5–10 min resting baseline with beat-to-beat measures of heart rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP), and MSNA (microneurography). Cardiac output and total vascular conductance were calculated using the Modelflow algorithm. Sympathetic transduction was quantified using the burst-triggered signal averaging technique to examine the changes in MAP, cardiac output, and total vascular conductance for 15 cardiac cycles after each MSNA burst or non-burst. A stepwise increase in the peak MAP (i.e., sympathetic transduction) was observed throughout all quartiles of normalized MSNA burst area (quartile 1 (Q1): 1.7 ± 1.3 mm Hg; Q2: 2.1 ± 1.3 mm Hg; Q3: 2.6 ± 1.4 mm Hg; Q4: 3.5 ± 1.4 mm Hg; P < 0.01). The largest quartile of normalized MSNA burst area demonstrated faster time-to-peak MAP responses (5.7 ± 2.5 s) than both Q1 (10.1 ± 3.9 s, P < 0.01) and Q2 (9.3 ± 4.1 s, P < 0.01), as well as, faster time-to-peak cardiac output and time-to-nadir total vascular conductance compared with Q1 and Q2 (All P < 0.05). Larger clusters of sympathetic bursts (i.e., triplets and ≥ quadruplets) did not have increased time-to-peak transduction compared with singlets and doublet bursts across all MSNA quartiles. These results highlight intraindividual variability in the time-course of sympathetic transduction and reveal an intrinsic property of larger sympathetic bursts to increase time-to-peak sympathetic transduction in humans. Novelty: Muscle sympathetic burst size can modulate time-to-peak sympathetic transduction in young healthy men and women. These observations appear independent of the pattern of sympathetic firing.

الوصف: Elevated large-artery stiffness is recognized as an independent predictor of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. The mechanisms responsible for such stiffening are incompletely understood. Several recent cross-sectional and acute experimental studies have examined whether sympathetic outflow, quantified by microneurographic measures of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA), can modulate large-artery stiffness in humans. A major methodological challenge of this research has been the capacity to evaluate the independent neural contribution without influencing the dynamic blood pressure dependence of arterial stiffness. The focus of this review is to summarize the evidence examining 1) the relationship between resting MSNA and large-artery stiffness, as determined by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity or pulse wave reflection characteristics (i.e., augmentation index) in men and women; 2) the effects of acute sympathoexcitatory or sympathoinhibitory maneuvers on carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity and augmentation index; and 3) the influence of sustained increases or decreases in sympathetic neurotransmitter release or circulating catecholamines on large-artery stiffness. The present results highlight the growing evidence that the sympathetic nervous system is capable of modulating arterial stiffness independent of prevailing hemodynamics and vasomotor tone.

الوصف: Introduction: Novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is having a devastating psychological impact on patients, especially patients with cancer. This work aims to evaluate mood disorders of cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy during COVID-19 in comparison with cancer patients who underwent radiation therapy in 2019.Materials and Methods: We included all the patients undergoing radiation therapy at our department in two-time points (once a week for a month in May 2019) and during the COVID-19 outbreak (in April 2020). All the patients were asked to fulfill a validated questionnaire (STAI-Y1, State trait anxiety inventory scale), the Symptom Distress thermometer (SDT) (from 0 to 10 score), and the Beck Depression Inventory v.2 (BDI-2). We took into account the COVID-19 outbreak and also sex, age, week of radiation treatment, and disease.Results: We included 458 patients (220 males and 238 females), with a median age of 64 years. STAI-Y1 median score was 40 (mean 41,3, range 19–79), whereas the median score of SDT was five and BDI-2 median score was 11. STAI-Y1, SDT, and BDI-2 were significantly correlated with the COVID-19 outbreak (p < 0,001 for all the tests), sex (p: 0,016 for STAI-Y1, p < 0.001 for SDT, p:0.013 for BDI-2), week of treatment (p: 0.012 for STAI-Y1 and p: 0.031 for SDT), and disease (p:0.015 for STAI-Y1, p < 0.001 for SDT and p:0.020 for BDI-2).Conclusions: The prevalence of mood disorders in patients undergoing radiation therapy is higher than expected and even higher during the COVID-19 outbreak. These measurements could be useful as a baseline to start medical humanities programs to decrease these scores.

الوصف: Baclofen is a structural analogue of gamma-amino-butyric acid (GABA), which reduces spastic hypertonia of striated muscle due to a mechanism of GABAB-ergic inhibition of mono- and polysynaptic reflexes at the spinal level. There are reports of patients with severe disorders of consciousness that presented a substantial improvement following intrathecal baclofen (ITB) administration for severe spasticity. The neural mechanisms underlying the clinical recovery after ITB have not yet been clarified. Baclofen could modulate sleep-wake cycles that may be dysregulated and thus interfere with alertness and awareness. The diminished proprioceptive and nociceptive sensory inputs may relieve thalamo-cortical neural networks involved in maintaining the consciousness of the self and the world. ITB treatment might also promote the recovery of an impaired GABAergic cortical tone, restoring the balance between excitatory and inhibitory cortical activity. Furthermore, glutamatergic synapses are directly or indirectly modulated by GABAB-ergic receptors. Neurophysiological techniques (such as transcranial magnetic stimulation, electroencephalography, or the combination of both) can be helpful to explore the effects of intrathecal or oral baclofen on the modulation of neural cortical circuits in humans with disorders of consciousness.

الوصف: In this review, we aimed at identifying the studies that have employed repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in patients with sleep disorders. Low-frequency (LF) rTMS stimulating the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) or the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) was found to be effective to reduce cortical hyperexcitability and improve the sleep quality in subjects with chronic primary insomnia (PI). Both high-frequency (HF) and LF rTMS applied over the primary motor cortex or the supplementary motor cortex seem to have transient beneficial effects in patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS). Stimulation of upper airway muscles during sleep by isolated TMS and by rTMS twitch can improve airflow dynamics in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) patients without arousal. A single case report study indicates that HF rTMS over the left DLPFC might represent an alternative choice for symptom control in narcoleptic patients with cataplexy, and a pilot study also raises the possibility of therapeutic benefits from rTMS in patients with sleep bruxism. rTMS may also exert intrinsic effects on hypersomnia in depressed adolescents. In conclusion, rTMS may contribute to the development of new non-pharmacological therapeutic options for several sleep disorders. rTMS might be useful as therapeutical tool in particular in patients with PI, RLS, OSAS and narcolepsy, while its effect in other sleep disorders (ie, parasomnias) has not yet been explored. rTMS integrated with clinical, sleep-related, and neuroimaging data may represent an effective tool in modulating cortical excitability and inducing short-term synaptic plasticity. Further studies with larger patient samples, repeated sessions, an optimized rTMS setup, and clinical follow-up warranted to verify the initial findings, and to expand clinical and research interest towards neuromodulation in the different sleep disorders.
