A growing literature suggests that declines in sensory/perceptual systems predate cognitive declines in aging, and furthermore, they are highly predictive for developing Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's related dementias (ADRD). While vision, hearing, olfaction, and vestibular function have each been shown to be related to ADRD, their causal relations to cognitive declines, how they interact with each other remains to be clarified. Currently, there is substantial debate whether sensory/perceptual systems that fail early in disease progression are causal in their contributions to cognitive load and/or social isolation or are simply coincident declines due to aging.

The rationale of this study was to assess test-retest reliability of an abbreviated test battery and evaluate age-related auditory perceptual and cognitive effects on these measures.
Method: Experiment 1 evaluated the test-retest repeatability of an abbreviated test battery and its use in an adverse listening environment.
Article Synopsis
- Pediatric intracranial tumors at the skull base are rare, challenging to treat due to complex anatomy, and lack substantial clinical evidence, prompting a study on surgical approaches and outcomes.
- The study involved 12 children under 18 who underwent skull base surgery from 2017 to 2023, analyzing demographics, tumor details, surgical methods, and survival rates.
- Results indicated a predominance of female patients, varying tumor locations and types, with 58.3% achieving gross or near-total resection; however, 33.3% of patients died from tumor progression within an average of 15 months.
Introduction: Neuroendoscopy has become a well-established procedure for treating various intracranial conditions.
Research Question: We evaluated the advantages of that technique, with focus on adverse events.
Material And Methods: Retrospective analysis included all patients who underwent neuroendoscopic procedures between January 2017 and December 2023.
Objectives: Midline nasal masses are rare and challenging for surgeons. This study examined the site with the highest risk of recurrence following midline nasal mass excisions.
Methods: Surgical outcomes were retrospectively reviewed following excision of midline nasal masses between 2010 and 2022 in the predominantly pediatric patient cohort.
