A 30-day pre-post study in 100 LDH patients underwent the ESIs technique. Patients meeting the criteria received physical examinations and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans before undergoing the method. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was applied to assess the patient's hospitalization condition after ESIs 1 day, 7 days, and 30 days. After 1 day of ESIs, 85% of patients responded well (10% excellent and 75% moderate), and this prevalence increased up to 95% after 7 days and 30 of follow-up. The ESIs safety assessment after 1 day of treatment recorded that 2% of patients had complications and 24% had medication side effects. After 7 days, 4% of patients had epigastric pain and no more complications. Treatment outcomes of ESIs were effective and high safety in patients with LDH.","PeriodicalId":36108,"journal":{"name":"Neuroscience Research Notes","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47621000","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}

The PSQI total score was positively correlated with anxiety and depression. The PSQI total score (p values < 0.01) was negatively correlated with the mean scores of all domains of WHOQOL-BREF. The mean PSQI total score was 5.67±3.4 and 43% of the participants were classified as poor sleepers by a global cut-off point of 5.

Eventhough mental disorders are treatable and validated tools are available to diagnose, many individuals are left untreated due to different factors, such as a lack of trained personnel and stigma. Neuroscience research indicates that mental disorders could be hereditary, where genes involved in determining behavioural variants. Disturbance in brain communication, resulting from abnormalities in neurogenesis, neurotransmission, and enzymatic degradation, have led to negative emotional states. This mini-review will highlight some important genes in the neurotransmitter systems and explore the relationship between gene polymorphisms and emotional states (i.e., depression, anxiety, and stress). The genes that will be discussed in this mini-review include brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) which is involved in neuron development, serotonin-transporter-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) and 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 1A (5-HT1A) which are involved in serotonin neurotransmitter action potential propagation, and monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) and catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), which are involved in neurotransmitter catabolism.","PeriodicalId":36108,"journal":{"name":"Neuroscience Research Notes","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41326039","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}

Furthermore, the prevalence of diabetes has been steadily increasing for the last 20 years. In this case-control study (80 diabetic and 160 non-diabetic subjects), we analyzed data from two tertiary stroke centers over the past six months (June-December 2022). Inclusion criteria included patients over 18 years who presented to the emergency department with an acute ischemic stroke (I63 according to ICD 10). We reviewed and compared the data on clinical assessments such as the National Institutes of Health The Stroke Scale (NIHTSS), Glasgow Coma Scale and Modified Rankin Score, laboratory parameters, and TOAST classification of ischemic stroke between diabetic and non-diabetic patients in Mongolia. The mean age was 39.2±15.2, and 33.2% (n = 392) were male. The duration of diabetes in patients ranged from 0 to 23 years, and the median was 5.0. Mean glycated haemoglobin in subjects was 9.75±2.49%, and only 27.5% (n = 22) had HbA1c below 7.5%. Only BMI was significantly different in patients with diabetes compared to patients without diabetes (27.2±4.4 vs. 28.6±5.2). However, for other parameters, no significant difference was observed, but the NIHTSS at discharge was significantly higher in patients with diabetes. According to the TOAST classification, the risk of ischemic stroke caused by microangiopathy (18% vs 33.8%, p=0.142) and macroangiopathy (44.4% vs 57.5%, p=0.192) was 13-15% higher in people with diabetes than in people without diabetes. In regression analysis, patients with diabetes had a six times greater risk of ischemic stroke caused by atherosclerosis than non-diabetic patients. Most subtypes of stroke that occur in people with diabetes are caused by atherosclerosis, both large and small vessels.","PeriodicalId":36108,"journal":{"name":"Neuroscience Research Notes","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43970976","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}

The Brain Science Week 2022 included three main events: a 6-day training school for neuroscientists, the IBRO-APRC Ulaanbaatar Associate School on Brain-Related Disorders, a roundtable meeting with stakeholders and advisors themed \"Perspectives of Brain Science in Mongolia\", and the 9th Annual Meeting of MNS, Multidisciplinary Brain Science 2022. In addition, a press conference and an art contest, Brain Have No Limit, were organized to raise brain awareness in public. The IBRO-APRC Ulaanbaatar Associate School on Brain-Related Disorders was aimed to train 20 students on current advances in brain science by seven international faculties and 14 local faculties in six consecutive days. As a satellite event to the school, a 2-day training program for school psychologists, Basic Concepts of Psychology, was held in conjunction with the Mongolian Psychologists Association. The 9th Annual Meeting of MNS brought together 31 speakers and more than 100 participants who attended 14 invited lectures by world-leading neuroscientists in Ulaanbaatar. The support of MAS, the Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences, and the Ministry of Education and Science of Mongolia also contributed to the success of the events.

High mortality and sequelae that cause physical or psychological disability demand greater efforts for adequate therapeutic management. The present study aimed to identify signs, symptoms, comorbidities, and therapeutic agents associated with decreased survival time and increased death risk in hospitalized stroke patients. Medical records of stroke patients hospitalized in 2016 at a Peruvian hospital were included. Post-stroke survival time was determined using the Kaplan-Meier method. A comparison of the mean survival time of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke patients was carried out with the Mantel-Cox test. In addition, the death risk or hazard ratio (HR) was determined using Cox proportional hazards model. The mean survival time was 34.37 (95% CI, 31.89-36.85) and 16.96 (95% CI, 12.35-21.56) days in post-ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke patients, respectively.

The AUDIT test, developed by the World Health Organization, was adopted to screen a full spectrum of alcohol-related disorders. Participants identified as at high risk of alcohol dependence were referred to a clinical interview for diagnosis of alcohol dependence. The interview was designed using ICD-10 diagnostic criteria. The study consisted of 11746 participants from 79 clusters, age 18–64 years (n=11746, males 49.1%, females 50.8%, mean age 39.6 ± 12.5 years). 45.4% of the participants (n=5336) abstained from alcohol use, 39% were at low risk of alcohol dependence (n=4582), 9.2% were at moderate risk (n=1075), and 6.4% were at high risk (n=753). Among the participants, a total of 522 participants (4.4%) were diagnosed as having alcohol dependence through the clinical interview. Increased risk of alcohol dependence was associated with those who were men, divorced or widowed, living in rural regions, unemployed, and less educated. The study results suggest that the prevalence of alcohol dependence is 4.4% among the general population of Mongolia.
