The current therapeutical approach for acute ischemic stroke includes thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy; still, no neuroprotective treatment options currently exist to improve its neurological outcome. Some components of the endocannabinoid system are altered after ischemic stroke. It is considered that cannabinoids may exert neuroprotective effects; however, the use of cannabinoid receptor ligands is a major concern due to its psychotropic properties. Regardless that there are many studies describing the benefit of administering cannabinoids for experimental stroke several unanswered questions remain since most of the information point up in non-human species. A previous systematic review detected significant heterogeneity among studies, so it is appropriate to perform a scoping review to evaluate the feasibility of performing an updated systematic review and meta-analysis. This scoping review aims to evaluate the therapeutic potential of modulating the endocannabinoid system for stroke. Methods: Published studies (all publication types) will be retrieved from Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Ovid, EBSCOhost, and Google Scholar. Eligibility criteria: Clinical or preclinical studies reporting endocannabinoid levels or their effects, or reporting administration of cannabinoid modulators (stimulating or inhibiting their synthesis or metabolism, phytocannabinoids, or synthetic cannabinoids), in patients or models of stroke will be considered for inclusion. Studies written in languages different than Spanish or English that could not be appropriately translated, or whose full-text files could not be retrieved will be excluded.

It is characterized by a triad of progressive motor, psychiatric and cognitive symptoms, resulting from striatal neuronal loss. The impact of HD in Latin America is evidenced by the prevalence rates in Maracaibo (Venezuela) and Juan de Acosta (Colombia), which are the highest recorded in the world. This contrasts with the social abandonment and the scarce intervention of local governments. \u0000Aim: Provide an approach to the most relevant aspects of HD from its pathogenesis and associated genetic polymorphisms, to the current treatment options. \u0000Methodology: A literature review was performed of the state of the art of prognosis and treatment strategies in HD, including the identification of different polymorphic markers in the genes coding for UCHL1, HIP1, PGC1α, GRIK2, TBP, BDNF, among others, and its associations in the evolution of the disease in the presence of abnormal CAG repeats. \u0000Conclusion: Even though in the last decades many researchers have focused on the development of curative treatment, there is no effective therapeutic target to prevent the clinical onset of the disease or to delay its progression. Instead, current pharmacological management is palliative, the evidence to generalize the surgical approaches is insufficient. Newly, the fetal neural cell transplantation into the striatum is offered as the surgical option that provides hope for the development of a true disease-modifying treatment.","PeriodicalId":34902,"journal":{"name":"Archivos de Neurociencias","volume":"91 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81578123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To our knowledge, this is the third case of PCNSL in the context of NF1. \u0000Background: PCNSL represents 1% of non-Hodgkin extranodal Lymphomas, and 3% of CNS tumors. Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma accounts for 30-40% of the cases, commonly found in the encephalus, spinal cord, leptomeninges, or the eye. Predominant malignant tumors in NF1 are gliomas and Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor (MPNST). \u0000Methods: A 53-year-old Mexican female, with a history of NF1, arrived at the emergency department with left-side subacute progressive numbness and weakness. Left hemiplegia. MRI showed a ring-enhancing lesion in the right central lobe and a lesion in the subcutaneous tissue. Additionally, the patient underwent a full body 18-FDG PET scan, which reported activity only in the CNS. \u0000Results: Lesion-centered craniectomy and surgical evacuation were performed. Histopathological examination revealed lymphoid lineage cells, CD20, PAX-5, and Ki-67 were positive for neoplastic cells, confirming the diagnosis of PCNSL. At the 6-months follow-up visit, strength improved significantly, and the follow-up MRI did not show residual mass. \u0000Conclusions: It is necessary to study the prevalence of LPSNC in these patients, as well as the relative risk, and to develop guidelines for its best approach. We believe that the real incidence of the disease is underestimated, since the genetic and pathophysiological mechanisms that promote its origin still need to be clarified.","PeriodicalId":34902,"journal":{"name":"Archivos de Neurociencias","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84267383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
