Purpose: To date, no non-invasive imaging modality has been employed to profile the structural intricacies of the hippocampal arterial microvasculature in humans. We hypothesised that synchrotron-based imaging of the human hippocampus would enable precise characterisation of the arterial microvasculature.

Methods: Two preserved human brains from, a 69-year-old female and a 63-year-old male body donors were imaged using hierarchical phase-contrast tomography (HiP-CT) with synchrotron radiation at multiple voxel resolutions from 25.

The aim of this review was to evaluate the relationship between periodontal disease (PD) and the onset and progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and to determine whether patients with PD would be at greater risk of developing AD compared to periodontally healthy subjects. This systematic review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. An electronic search for cross-sectional, cohort, or case-control studies was conducted on five databases (PubMed, ScienceDirect, EBSCO, Web of Science, and Scopus).
