et al.

Abstract: Neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, stroke, and spinal cord injury can result in impairments of motor function, consciousness, cognition, and sensory processing. Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology, which facilitates direct communication between the brain and external devices, emerges as an innovative key to unlocking neurological conditions, demonstrating significant promise in this context. This comprehensive review uniquely synthesizes the latest advancements in BCI research across mul… Show more

BackgroundMultiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, progressive autoimmune disease, with increasing attention on the role of B cells in its pathogenesis. Despite this growing interest, a comprehensive analysis of research trends and emerging foci on B cells in MS is currently lacking. In this research, we utilize a bibliometric approach to visualize and analyze research trends and focal points in this field, offering a valuable reference for future mechanistic studies in MS.MethodsWe retrieved bibliometric data from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) for articles published between 2014 and 2023. VOSviewer 1.6.18 and CiteSpace 5.7R3 were used for co-authorship, co-occurrence, and citation analyses to identify key researchers, institutions, countries, and emerging themes in B cell research related to MS.ResultsThe analysis examined 5,578 articles published in 1,041 journals by 5,337 institutions globally. The United States leads in publication output, with Amit Bar-Or identified as the most influential author, and Frontiers in Immunology as the top journal in the field. Research has increasingly focused on the complex role of B cells in MS, particularly their involvement in the central nervous system (CNS) and mechanisms of anti-B cell therapy. Recent trends point to a growing focus on meningeal inflammation, kinase inhibitors, and Epstein-Barr virus, signaling a shift in research priorities.ConclusionThis bibliometric analysis highlights pivotal research trends, key contributors, and emerging areas of interest in B cell research in MS from 2013 to 2024. The findings underscore the growing recognition of the multifaceted role of B cells in MS pathogenesis, particularly their involvement in the CNS compartment and the potential of targeted therapies. The study identifies meningeal inflammation, Epstein-Barr virus infection, and kinase inhibitors as promising avenues for future research. The analyses driving the in-depth exploration of B cell mechanisms in MS and the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies provide researchers in the MS field with a comprehensive and objective perspective, serving as a valuable reference for accelerating the translation of basic research findings into clinical applications.

ObjectiveInflammation and nutritional status are closely associated with the mortality risk of survivors of cardio-cerebrovascular events. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between inflammation and nutritional indices and mortality among, identifying the most predictive indices.MethodsThis study included cohort data of the survivors of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) in 1999–2010. MACCE is defined as a composite of myocardial infarction, heart failure and stroke, and at least one of the three events occurs. The main outcomes were all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality. Kaplan–Meier analysis and receiver operating characteristic curves were used to compare the correlation between seven inflammatory nutritional indices (such as Advanced Lung Cancer Inflammation Index, ALI) and mortality among the survivors. A multivariable-adjusted Cox regression and restricted cubic splines analysis identified the most predictive index, with the optimal number of nodes determined by the Akaike information criterion. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were conducted to assess model stability.ResultsA total of 2,045 MACCE survivors were included. The higher levels of ALI and serum albumin were significantly associated with lower risks of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among these individuals. Increases in C-reactive protein to Lymphocyte Ratio, Neutrophil to Serum Albumin Ratio, Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio, Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII), and C-reactive protein were similarly correlated with higher mortality risk. ALI outperformed other indices, displaying a distinct L-shaped nonlinear relationship with both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among MACCE survivors, with an inflection point at 90 indicating the lowest risk. To the left of this inflection, each unit increase in ALI was associated with a 1.3% decrease in all-cause and cardiovascular mortality risk among MACCE patients. To the right, the risk might increase by 0.2%, although the change was not statistically significant. Subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses showed that the association between ALI and risk of mortality remained stable in most MACCE survivor populations.ConclusionRoutine and dynamic monitoring of ALI is helpful for clinicians to assess the mortality risk among MACCE survivors. Anti-inflammatory therapies and appropriate nutritional support are crucial for reducing mortality in these individuals.

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) have revolutionized assistive technology, offering transformative solutions to enhance accessibility for individuals with physical and neurological disabilities. By enabling direct communication between the brain and external devices, BCIs bypass traditional pathways, empowering users to control assistive tools through neural activity. This research explores the integration of BCIs into assistive technology, focusing on their potential to improve mobility, communication, and independence. It examines cutting-edge applications such as neural-controlled prosthetics, speech-generating devices, and smart home systems tailored for accessibility. The study also addresses challenges including signal processing accuracy, user adaptability, and ethical considerations surrounding data privacy and inclusivity. By analyzing advancements in machine learning algorithms and neurofeedback systems, the research provides insights into optimizing BCI functionality for practical deployment. Ultimately, this study highlights the role of BCIs in creating a more inclusive society by redefining the capabilities of assistive technologies.
