A key goal of neonatal neurocritical care is improved outcomes, and brain monitoring plays an essential role. The recent NEST trial reported no outcome benefits using aEEG monitoring compared to clinical seizure identification among neonates treated…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: There are no therapies for preventing cerebral demyelination in X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). Higher plasma vitamin D levels have been linked to lower risk of inflammatory brain lesions. We assessed the safety and ph…
Digital health technologies (DHTs) have brought several significant improvements to clinical trials, enabling real-world data collection outside of the traditional clinical context and more patient-centered approaches. DHTs, such as wearables, allow…
INTRODUCTION: Data on patients hospitalized with acute heart failure in Brazil scarce. METHODS: We performed a cross-sectional, retrospective, records-based study using data retrieved from a large public database of heart failure admissions to any ho…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Predicting neurodevelopmental outcome for neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is important for clinical decision-making, care planning, and parent communication. We examined the relationship between EEG back…
Neuroinflammation and microglial activation are involved in the pathogenesis of sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE). Mitochondrial dynamics emerged as a new player in the regulation of immunological processes. In this study, we aimed at exploring…
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating injury that may result in permanent motor impairment. The active ingredients of medications are unable to reach the affected area due to the blood‒brain barrier. Elamipretide (SS-31) is a new and innovative a…
Several mitochondrial diseases are caused by pathogenic variants that impair membrane phospholipid remodeling, with no FDA-approved therapies. Elamipretide targets the inner mitochondrial membrane where it binds to cardiolipin, resulting in improved…
Connexin43 (Cx43) exits as hemichannels in the inner mitochondrial membrane. We examined how mitochondrial Cx43 and mitochondrial Kchannels affect the occurrence of triggered arrhythmias. To generate cardiac-specific Cx43-deficient (cCx43) mice, Cx43…
AIMS: Genetic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is caused by mutations in sarcomere protein-encoding genes (i.e. genotype-positive HCM). In an increasing number of patients, HCM occurs in the absence of a mutation (i.e. genotype-negative HCM). Mitoch…
Aging muscle experiences functional decline in part mediated by impaired mitochondrial ADP sensitivity. Elamipretide (ELAM) rapidly improves physiological and mitochondrial function in aging and binds directly to the mitochondrial ADP transporter ANT…
Accumulation of somatic mutations in the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) has long been proposed as a possible mechanism of mitochondrial and tissue dysfunction that occurs during aging. A thorough characterization of age-associated mtDNA somatic mutatio…
The culprits of atherosclerosis are endothelial damage, local disorders of lipid metabolism, and progressive inflammation. Early atherosclerosis is typically difficult to diagnose in time due to the lack of obvious symptoms, thus missing the best per…
The pathology of aging impacts multiple organ systems, including the kidney and skeletal and cardiac muscles. Long-term treatment with the mitochondrial-targeted peptide elamipretide has previously been shown to improve in vivo mitochondrial function…
For several decades, various peptides have been under investigation to prevent ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, including cyclosporin A (CsA) and Elamipretide. Therapeutic peptides are currently gaining momentum as they have many advantages over sm…
ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) after hemorrhage is potentiated by aortic occlusion or resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA). Given the central role of mitochondrial injury in shock, we hypothesized that Elamipretide, a…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) release from injured chondrocytes and investigate the utility of synovial fluid mtDNA concentration in early detection of posttraumatic osteoarthritis. METHOD: We measured mtDNA release using four mode…
BACKGROUND: Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a rare genetic disease that is characterized by cardiomyopathy, skeletal myopathy, neutropenia, and growth abnormalities and often leads to death in childhood. Recently, elamipretide has been tested as a potential…
AIMS: Elamipretide (EPT), a novel mitochondria-targeted peptide, has been shown to be protective in a range of diseases. However, the effect of EPT in spinal cord injury (SCI) has yet to be elucidated. We aimed to investigate whether EPT would inhibi…
OBJECTIVE: The association between chemical dependency and Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is widely recognized, but there is less data regarding modern behavioral addictions among young adults. METHOD: In this cross-sectional study, a sampl…
