Article Synopsis
- * A study reviewed 21 MLIV patients and conducted experiments on MLIV mouse models to understand kidney function, revealing that adult patients often have chronic kidney disease along with altered kidney functions and structure in the mice due to issues with endolysosomal function and autophagy.
- * Results showed decreased kidney function, presence of fibrosis and inflammation in MLIV models, and impaired uptake of essential proteins, which highlights cellular and systemic dysfunction in the
Article Synopsis
- The systematic review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines and explored how social cognition processes differ between individuals with ADHD and control groups, focusing on language, theory of mind, and executive functions.
- It included 22 peer-reviewed studies published until May 2024, involving 1215 people with ADHD, which met specific criteria regarding diagnosis and data quality.
- Findings indicated significant differences in cognitive processes like language and executive functions, with many aspects such as communication skills and emotion recognition affected, while theory of mind processes showed less disparity; limitations and implications of the research are also discussed.
Diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis by respiratory function test.
Multidiscip Respir Med
January 2023
The diagnostic criterion for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) based on the findings of concomitant clinical and electrophysiological evidence of upper and lower motor neuron involvement may remain unsatisfied for months and in some patients, even for years in the early stage of the disease. Since respiratory involvement is an onset symptom of ALS in only 1-3% of patients, pulmonary assessment has never been considered useful in the early diagnosis of ALS. However, studies on pulmonary function are lacking, especially in those early stages where neurologic tests are also inconclusive.

While the distinction between these emotion terms has been extensively investigated, little is known about how they diverge and are related to each other and their crosscultural differences.
Methods: Here, we used a community sample ( = 163) comprised of Americans and Italians and a scenario-based measure in which we asked participants to report the intensity of emotions that the story's main character would feel.
Background: The current diagnostic criteria for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) may remain unsatisfactory for months or years in the early disease. Pulmonary assessment has never been considered useful in the early diagnosis of ALS, and studies of pulmonary function in this patient category are lacking.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the pulmonary function in subjects with unspecific symptoms of ALS in whom an ALS diagnosis cannot be reached based on the current available guidelines.
