Background: Case reports suggest that calcitonin gene-related peptide monoclonal antibodies (CGRP mAbs) may trigger inflammatory flares in patients with autoimmune diseases.
Case Description: A 56-year-old woman with a history of severe migraines, experienced improvement in migraine frequency and intensity after starting fremanezumab 225 mg monthly. However, three months into treatment, she developed symmetric inflammatory polyarthralgias.
Background: Gross human anatomy is essential in undergraduate programs across biological and health sciences. While extensive literature explores medical students' knowledge in this area, studies on non-medical students, particularly those in physical education, are scarce.
Objective: This study assessed the anatomy knowledge among Brazilian physical education students and explored differences based on employment status, type of class instruction (face-to-face vs.
A search for violation of the charge-parity (CP) symmetry in the D^{+}→K^{-}K^{+}π^{+} decay is presented, with proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb^{-1}, collected at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV with the LHCb detector. A novel model-independent technique is used to compare the D^{+} and D^{-} phase-space distributions, with instrumental asymmetries subtracted using the D_{s}^{+}→K^{-}K^{+}π^{+} decay as a control channel.

The lack of ancestral diversity in genetic datasets, notably in eQTL studies that associate genetic variation with gene expression, exacerbates these disparities. Our study seeks to address this gap by comparing the AD interactions of racially and ethnically diverse expression Quantitative Trait Loci (eQTL) effects to investigate the genetic influence on AD in underrepresented populations.

Background: Transactive DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) proteinopathy is associated with neurodegeneration, including LATE and linked to cognitive deterioration. While some research suggests a higher prevalence of TDP-43 in women, no differences have been identified among racial groups. Nonetheless, the influence of gender on cognition within the context of TDP-43 remains uncertain.
