Article Synopsis
  • The aggregation of α-synuclein in the nervous system leads to α-synucleinopathies, with Lewy body dementia (LBD) being a primary form of dementia characterized by Lewy bodies and neurites.
  • Despite being the second leading cause of dementia after Alzheimer's, there is limited understanding of LBD’s pathological mechanisms and diagnostic criteria.
  • The study used mass spectrometry to identify 179 proteins with significant changes post α-synuclein injection, linking several neurodegenerative pathways and suggesting a potential framework for distinguishing LBD from other dementias based on later cortical proteome changes.

Although racial, ethnic, and linguistically minoritized school-aged students within the United States are increasing in population, school psychologists have historically been predominantly white, monolingual females. Diversity within the field of school psychology is important for improving students' achievement and postsecondary success, particularly as it relates to underrepresented students. Research shows that the diversity of school psychology faculty is important for the recruitment and retention of minoritized graduate students.

Innovations, such as novel evidence-based practices, are not likely to diffuse to practice without explicit effort and design (Rogers, 2003). In an effort to understand how interventions should be designed to meet teacher preferences, the present study utilized a full-profile two-alternative forced-choice experiment to examine teacher preferences when selecting a classwide intervention to address student disruptive behavior. Attributes and levels for the experiment were derived in response to four characteristics from Rogers' diffusion of innovations theory.

Purpose: To assess the perceptions of physicians about diabetic retinopathy (DR) screening, barriers to DR screening, and change in management protocol of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) patients with DR.

Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted using a standard predesigned and pretested structured questionnaire through online mode in the month of April 2021 to assess the criteria used for referral of diabetic patients for DR screening, barriers to DR screening, and the management plan among physicians after the patient has been diagnosed with DR.

Results: In total, 100 physicians participated in the study.
