  • Systemic infection with the fungal pathogenC. albicans is characterized by high mortality, and the precise antifungal defence mechanisms in humans are poorly defined. Using a systems approach, Smeekens et al. describe a previously unknown role for type I interferons in human anti-Candidadefence.

  • Parkinson disease (PD) is now regarded as a mixed motor, nonmotor and multiorgan disorder rather than a pure movement disorder. Nonmotor symptoms (NMS) have underpinned this conceptual change, and new criteria for clinical and prodromal diagnosis of PD, incorporating a range of NMS, have recently been published.

  • The investigators of PRECISE-DAPT devised a five-item score to predict out-of-hospital bleeding risk in patients treated with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after coronary stenting. In patients at high risk of bleeding treated with prolonged DAPT, significantly more bleeding events were observed, with no reduction in ischaemic events.

  • Commenting on the results of their meta-analysis, Holmes et al. suggest that CYP2C19 genotype does not affect clinical outcome in patients receiving clopidogrel therapy. However, we do not believe that the data support this conclusion; an association between genotype and outcome remains plausible and could be considered when choosing treatment.

  • Constipation is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder in children, characterized by withholding of stools, infrequent and painful passage of hard stools, and episodes of fecal incontinence. In this Review, the authors describe the prevalence and pathophysiology of childhood constipation as well as discuss the latest available knowledge on the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of these pediatric patients.

  • Falls and fall-related injuries, such as fractures, are often the cause of pain, functional impairments, reduced quality of life and excess health-care costs and mortality among older adults. This Review focuses on evidence-based physical therapy approaches for the prevention of falls and fractures, including exercise, vibration training and improvement of safety at home and during periods of mobility, and highlights the benefits of multifaceted intervention strategies.

  • In this Perspectives article, Espay and colleagues argue that that the adoption of precision medicine in Parkinson disease will require a revision of biomarker development efforts, with the ultimate goal of testing putative disease-modifying interventions in well-defined disease subgroups.

  • Despite widespread damage associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) pathology, recovery of function can occur, driven by adaptive plasticity in brain networks. Tomassini et al. review the mechanisms underlying functional recovery in MS, and discuss interventions that might promote this process. Methodological considerations for imaging neuroplasticity using functional MRI are also highlighted.

  • Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus or globus pallidus internus can substantially improve appendicular motor symptoms of Parkinson disease (PD); however, the effect of DBS on axial motor signs—such as gait impairment, postural instability and postural abnormalities—is less clear. In this practically oriented Review, Fasanoet al. discuss the most important considerations to establish the reasons for gait problems in patients receiving DBS, and suggest how to manage axial disability in these patients.
