WN upregulated the expression of serotonin receptor and transporter genes. In silico analyses revealed high binding affinities of WN to Ser-1, Ser-4, Ser-7, and Mod-5.

Further studies are needed to prove whether the results from C. elegans are transferrable to mammals and human beings.

WN ameliorated depressive-associated stress symptoms by activating the serotonin system. WN may serve as potential candidate in developing new drugs to treat depression.

 To assess the current opinions and state of knowledge in primary sports injury prevention among members of the
(
.

 On 21 August 2019, a web-based questionnaire was sent to the members of the tri-national society
Austria, Germany and Switzerland). The survey was online until 21 November 2019 and included twenty-two questions, which were divided into five sections 1) general importance of prevention (n = 4), 2) specifications of the study population (n = 3), 3) implementation of prevention (n = 8), 4) improvement opportunities in prevention (n = 4) and 5) future research areas (n = 3).

 A total of 272 participants completed the survey, representing a total survey participation of 17.7 % of all members. The study population consisted of orthopaedic surgeons (55 % with surgical and 21 % with non-operative orientation), medical students (10 %), physical therapists (8 %) and sports scientists (4 %). Ninety-four percent of all participants stated that they considered the importance of sports injury prereventive measures. Future funding of prevention programs, expansion of research strategies for injury prevention and better financial reimbursement are of utmost importance.
Evidence suggests middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization benefits adult patients with chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) at high risk for recurrence or hemorrhagic complications. Yet, there has not been any report discussing MMA embolization in the pediatric population. Thus, we present a case of an infant with CSDH successfully managed with MMA embolization without surgical management.

A 5-mo-old girl with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy underwent surgical implantation of a left ventricular assist device for a bridge to heart transplantation. This was complicated by left ventricular thrombus causing stroke. She was placed on dual antiplatelet antithrombotic therapy on top of bivalirudin infusion. She sustained a left middle cerebral artery infarction, but did not have neurological deficits. Subsequent computed tomography scans of the head showed a progressively enlarging asymptomatic CSDH, and the heart transplant was repeatedly postponed. The decision was made to proceed with MMA embolization at the age of 7 mo. Bilateral modified MMA embolization, using warmed, low-concentration n-butyl-cyanoacrylate (n-BCA) from distal microcatheter positioning, allowed the embolic material to close the distal MMA and subdural membranous vasculature. The patient underwent successful heart transplant and the CSDH improved significantly. She remained neurologically asymptomatic and had normal neurological development after the MMA embolization.

MMA embolization may represent a safe and effective minimally invasive option for pediatric CSDH, especially for patients at high risk for surgery or hematoma recurrence.

In adults with ischemic moyamoya disease (MMD), the efficacy of direct vs indirect revascularization procedures remains a matter of debate.

To investigate the outcomes of ischemic MMD in a North American cohort treated by direct and indirect revascularizations.

We retrospectively reviewed medical records of adult patients with MMD with ischemic presentation from 1984 to 2018 at the Brigham and Women's Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital who underwent either direct or indirect bypasses. Early postoperative events and outcome at more than 6 mo postoperatively were evaluated using multivariable logistic regression analyses. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were used to evaluate delayed ischemic and hemorrhagic events. Analyses were performed per hemisphere.

A total of 95 patients with MMD and 127 hemispheres were included in this study. A total of 3.5% and 8.6% of patients had early surgical complications in the direct and indirect bypass cohorts, respectively (P=.24). H hemorrhagic events combined in direct revascularizations compared to indirect revascularizations.
The R2eD AVM scoring system has been recently proposed to predict the risk of hemorrhagic presentation of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).

To perform the first external validation of this R2eD AVM score.

Over a retrospective 10-yr period from 2009 to 2019, 122 patients with brain AVMs fit the inclusion criteria. All components required to calculate the R2eD AVM score had to be available. Patient demographics and score calculations were recorded, as well as the circumstances of their presentation. Multivariable analysis was performed to assess predictors of rupture in the study cohort. Next, area under the receiver operating characteristics and linear-by-linear association were employed to assess the effectiveness of the models.

The mean age of the entire cohort was 45.2 yr, and 8% of patients were nonwhite. A total of 48 (39.3%) patients presented with AVM rupture. In univariable analysis, all 5 categories demonstrated P <.15 association with rupture risk. Tofacitinib In multivariable analysis, race (nonwhite), size <3cm, and exclusive deep venous drainage remained in the model with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.677. The utilization of the R2eD AVM score yielded an AUC of 0.711.

Even though mitigated by sample size, this study demonstrated acceptable external validity of the R2eD AVM score.
