Global, regional, and national burden of stroke and its risk factors, 1990–2021: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 by Feigin, VL, Abate, MD, Abate, YH, Bandyopadhyay, S, Bennett, DA, Lacey, B, Newton, CRJ

“…We found disparities in stroke burden and risk factors by GBD region, country or territory, and SDI, as well as a stagnation in the reduction of incidence from 2015 onwards, and even some increases in the stroke incidence, death, prevalence, and DALY rates in southeast Asia, east Asia, and Oceania, countries with lower SDI, and people younger than 70 years. Globally, ischaemic stroke constituted 65·3% (62·4–67·7), intracerebral haemorrhage constituted 28·8% (28·3–28·8), and subarachnoid haemorrhage constituted 5·8% (5·7–6·0) of incident strokes. …”

“…Compared with an early adulthood BMI of 20·5–22·4 kg/m2 (the reference group), the hazard ratios for a BMI of less than 18·5 kg/m2 was 0·97 (95% CI 0·94–1·00), 18·5–20·4 kg/m2 was 0·97 (0·95–0·99), 22·5–23·9 kg/m2 was 1·04 (1·02–1·07), 24·0–25·9 kg/m2 was 1·12 (1·09–1·15), 26·0–27·9 kg/m2 was 1·19 (1·14–1·24), 28·0–29·9 kg/m2 was 1·34 (1·25–1·44), and ≥30·0 kg/m2 was 1·58 (1·42–1·75). …”

Targeting TFEB and TFE3 in iPSC-derived dopaminergic neurons to correct autophagic/lysosomal deficits in Parkinson's disease by McGuinness, W

“…</p> <p>Examination of TFE3 activation in iPSC-DaNs demonstrated a major role for upregulating lysosomal biogenesis and function, more so than TFEB activation. Further, TFE3 overexpression upregulated glucocerebrosidase activity and endolysosomal function in patient-derived iPSC-DaNs that displayed perturbation in these functions. …”
