Bioavailability as Proof to Authorize the Clinical Testing of Neurodegenerative Drugs-Protocols and Advice for the FDA to Meet the ALS Act Vision - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39337696/
Although decades of intensive drug discovery efforts to treat neurodegenerative disorders (NDs) have failed, around half a million patients in more than 2000 studies continue being tested, costing over USD...
The study suggests that the FDA should focus on improving drug bioavailability across the blood-brain barrier for neurodegenerative diseases, requiring proof of brain entry for IND approval and reconsidering biomarker reliance.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common autoimmune disease. Tuberous sclerosis complex(TSC) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder. We report a case of RA with TSC. The patient was a 46-year-old...
A 46-year-old woman with RA and persistent cough was diagnosed with TSC after further evaluation revealed lymphangioleiomyomatosis, angiomyolipomas, subependymal nodules, and other TSC features. Everolimus improved her symptoms.
Solitary atrial Rhabdomyoma in an infant with tuberous sclerosis: a case report and review of the literature - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38062408/
Despite CR's predominance in the ventricles, a diagnosis of rhabdomyoma should be kept in mind in the presence of a solitary atrial mass and PACs. Physicians should evaluate systemic findings...
A 7-day-old neonate with atrial fibrillation, PACs, and a right atrial rhabdomyoma was diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) based on systemic findings, managed with anti-convulsants, and monitored without surgery.
