    Abstract Background: The ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block can be time-consuming, costly, and technically challenging in the bariatric patient population. Laparoscopic-assisted TAP (L-TAP) block was developed and has been shown to be non-inferior to ultrasound-guided blocks. Postoperative pain can be significant, and pain control in the morbidly obese patients can be challenging. This study's aim was to compare L-TAP block to traditional port site infiltration in terms of postoperative opioid requirement for morbidly obese patients after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery.
    Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed from February 2019 through February 2020. Two study groups: L-TAP block and port site infiltration. Outcomes examined the amount of opioid used at different time segments relative to the operation. All intravenous (IV) and oral opioids used were converted into IV morphine milligram equivalents (MME) for standardization.
    Results: 150 patients were included. The patient characteristics were not statistically significant between the two groups. Post-operative opioid use trended lower in the L-TAP block group in all time segments. A significant difference was detected in IV opioid use during post-operative day 0 with the mean MME for the L-TAP block group being 1.1±3.8 and port site infiltration group being 2.8±4.5 (P = .02)
    Conclusions: The L-TAP block more effectively reduces postoperative opioid use in comparison to port site infiltration in laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery. Based on these findings, as well as the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of L-TAP blocks, its routine use in laparoscopy should be considered.

    Abstract Background: In cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), cortical atrophy occurs at a later stage compared to microstructural abnormalities and therefore cannot be used for monitoring short-term disease progression. We aimed to investigate whether cortical diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and quantitative (q) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are able to detect early microstructural involvement of the cerebral cortex in CSVD.
    Materials and methods: 33 CSVD patients without significant cortical or whole-brain atrophy and 16 healthy control subjects were included and underwent structural MRI, DTI and high-resolution qMRI with T
    Results: Cortical diffusivity and quantitative T
    Conclusions: Cortical diffusivity and quantitative T

    Abstract Background and purpose: Swallowing is a complex task, moderated by a sophisticated bilateral network including multiple supratentorial regions, the brainstem and the cerebellum. To date, conflicting data exist about whether focal lesions to the cerebellum are associated with dysphagia. Therefore, the aim of the study was to evaluate dysphagia prevalence, recovery and dysphagia pattern in patients with ischaemic cerebellar stroke.
    Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients consecutively admitted to an academic stroke centre with ischaemic stroke found only in the cerebellum was performed. The presence of dysphagia was the primary end-point and was assessed by a speech-language pathologist, according to defined criteria. Dysphagia pattern was evaluated by analysing the videos of the flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing. Brain imaging was used to identify lesion size and location associated with dysphagia.
    Results: Between January 2016 and December 2021, 102 patients (35.3% female) with a mean age of 52.8 ± 17.3 years were included. Thirteen (12.7%) patients presented with dysphagia. The most frequently observed flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing phenotype was premature spillage (n = 7; 58.3%), whilst significant residues or aspiration did not occur. One patient died (7.7%); the other patients showed improvement of dysphagia and one patient (7.7%) was discharged with dietary restrictions.
    Conclusions: Although the involvement of the cerebellum in deglutition has become increasingly evident, isolated lesions to the cerebellum are less likely to cause clinically relevant and persisting dysphagia compared to other brain regions. The observed dysphagia pattern shows a lack of coordination and control, resulting in premature spillage or fragmented bolus transfer in some patients.

    Abstract Background and purpose: Dysphagia is a common and severe symptom of acute stroke. Although intracerebral hemorrhages (ICHs) account for 10% to 15% of all strokes, the occurrence of dysphagia in this subtype of stroke has not been widely investigated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the overall frequency and associated lesion locations and clinical predictors of dysphagia in patients with acute ICH.
    Methods: Our analysis included 132 patients with acute ICH. Clinical swallowing assessment was performed within 48 hours after admission. All patients underwent computed tomography imaging. Voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping was performed to determine lesion sites associated with dysphagia.
    Results: Eighty-four patients (63.6%) were classified as dysphagic. Higher scores on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, larger ICH volumes, and higher degree of disability were associated with dysphagia. Voxels showing a statistically significant association with dysphagia were mainly located in the right insular cortex, the right central operculum, as well as the basal ganglia, corona radiata, and the left thalamus and left internal capsule. In contrast to lobar regions, in subcortical deep brain areas also small lesion volumes (<10 mL) were associated with a substantial risk of dysphagia. Intraventricular ICH extension and midline shift as imaging findings indicating a space-occupying effect were not associated with dysphagia in multivariate analysis.
    Conclusions: Dysphagia is a frequent symptom in acute ICH. Distinct cortical and subcortical lesion sites are related to swallowing dysfunction and predictive for the development of dysphagia. Therefore, patients with ICH should be carefully evaluated for dysphagia independently from lesion size, in particular if deep brain regions are affected.

    Abstract The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has challenged humankind's ability to quickly determine the cascade of health effects caused by a novel infection. Even with the unprecedented speed at which vaccines were developed and introduced into society, identifying therapeutic interventions and drug targets for patients infected with the virus remains important as new strains of the virus evolve, or future coronaviruses may emerge that are resistant to current vaccines. The application of transcriptomic RNA sequencing of infected samples may shed new light on the pathways involved in viral mechanisms and host responses. We describe the application of the previously developed "dual RNA-seq" approach to investigate, for the first time, the co-regulation between the human and SARS-CoV-2 transcriptomes. Together with differential expression analysis, we describe the tissue specificity of SARS-CoV-2 expression, an inferred lipopolysaccharide response, and co-regulation of CXCL's, SPRR's, S100's with SARS-CoV-2 expression. Lipopolysaccharide response pathways in particular offer promise for future therapeutic research and the prospect of subgrouping patients based on chemokine expression that may help explain the vastly different reactions patients have to infection. Taken together these findings highlight unappreciated SARS-CoV-2 expression signatures and emphasize new considerations and mechanisms for SARS-CoV-2 therapeutic intervention.

    Abstract Background In patients with covert cerebrovascular disease or proximal source of embolism, embolic silent brain infarction may precede major stroke events. Therefore, characterization of particularly cortical silent brain infarction is essential for identifying affected patients and commencing adequate secondary prevention. This study aimed to investigate differences in the distribution pattern of cortical ischemic stroke lesions to assess potential predilection sites of cortical silent brain infarction. Methods and Results We prospectively included all consecutive patients with stroke presenting from January 1 to December 31, 2018. Diffusion-weighted imaging lesions were used to generate voxel-based lesion maps and assigned to atlas-based cortical regions of interest in middle cerebral artery territories. Each region-of-interest lesion frequency was related to the respective region-of-interest volume to identify frequently affected and underrepresented cerebral cortex areas. Diffusion-weighted imaging data for voxel-based lesion maps were available in 334 out of 633 patients. Primary analysis revealed that small- (<0.24 cc) and medium-sized (0.24-2640 cc) lesions distributed predominantly along regions associated with sensorimotor or language function. Detailed analysis within middle cerebral artery territories showed an approximated frequency of missed cortical stroke lesions of up to 67% in the right and 69% in the left hemisphere. In particular, the frontal, temporal, and occipital cortices were underrepresented. Larger lesion size and areas associated with higher cortical function led to hospital admission. Conclusions Cortical brain infarcts in hospitalized patients are not dispersed equally but are predominantly located in brain structures associated with motor control and sensory and language function. Matching underrepresented cerebral cortex regions to symptoms not yet associated with stroke warrants further exploration.

    Abstract Background and purpose: In patients with epilepsies of structural origin, brain atrophy and pathological alterations of the tissue microstructure extending beyond the putative epileptogenic lesion have been reported. However, in patients without any evidence of epileptogenic lesions on diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), impairment of the brain microstructure has been scarcely elucidated. Using multiparametric quantitative (q) magnetic resonance imaging MRI, we aimed to investigate diffuse impairment of the microstructural tissue integrity in MRI-negative focal epilepsy patients.
    Methods: 27 MRI-negative patients with focal epilepsy (mean age 33.1 ± 14.2 years) and 27 matched healthy control subjects underwent multiparametric qMRI including T1, T2, and PD mapping at 3 T. After tissue segmentation based on synthetic anatomies, mean qMRI parameter values were extracted from the cerebral cortex, the white matter (WM) and the deep gray matter (GM) and compared between patients and control subjects. Apart from calculating mean values for the qMRI parameters across the respective compartments, voxel-wise analyses were performed for each tissue class.
    Results: There were no significant differences for mean values of quantitative T1, T2, and PD obtained from the cortex, the WM and the deep GM between the groups. Furthermore, the voxel-wise analyses did not reveal any clusters indicating significant differences between patients and control subjects for the qMRI parameters in the respective compartments.
    Conclusions: Based on the employed methodology, no indication for an impairment of the cerebral microstructural tissue integrity in MRI-negative patients with focal epilepsy was found in this study. Further research will be necessary to identify relevant factors and mechanisms contributing to microstructural brain tissue damage in various subgroups of patients with epilepsy.
