Older US adults' experiences with and views about cognitive screening and blood biomarker testing for Alzheimer's disease.

Introduction: Dementia is underdiagnosed in the United States. Understanding of older adults' experiences with screening is needed to optimize diagnosis.

Methods: US adults ages 65 to 80 ( = 1298) were surveyed on experiences with cognitive screening and blood biomarker (BBM) testing.

Insights into the Role of the Glymphatic System in the Pathogenesis of Post-hemorrhagic Hydrocephalus.

Recently, it has been well-established that the glymphatic or glial-lymphatic system plays a vital role in the pathophysiology of various neurological compromise, especially hydrocephalus (HCP). Till now, the complete pathway is not yet fully understood, and little evidence is available from the literature that links hydrocephalus to disorders of the glymphatic system. Most published molecular studies and animal research have shown that, in models with hydrocephalus, the drainage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) via the glymphatic system is disrupted.

Planum Temporale Asymmetries in Primates: A Comparative Study in Great Apes and Monkeys.

Objectives: Most human brains exhibit left hemisphere asymmetry for planum temporale (PT) surface area and gray matter volume, which is interpreted as cerebral lateralization for language. Once considered a uniquely human feature, PT asymmetries have now been documented in chimpanzees and olive baboons. The goal of the current study was to further investigate the evolution of PT asymmetries in nonhuman primates.

The impact of COVID-19 public health and social measures on years of potential life lost.

Background: To determine the impacts of statewide coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related public health and social measures (PHSMs) and attempted pandemic mitigation measures on years of potential life lost (YPLL).

Methods: The "openness score" of each state during the COVID-19 pandemic was obtained using two open-source sites, the Multistate openness score and the Wallethub openness score. These scores combined various PHSMs, such as restrictions on gatherings and closing various types of businesses.

Evaluating the effect of VersaWrap tendon protector on functional outcomes in operative tendon repairs.

Background: Tendon repairs often result in adhesion formation which can cause persisting functional deficits. Close proximity of healing tissues increases friction during tendon excursion, often leading to tendon tethering postoperatively. Despite continued improvements in techniques for tendon repairs, there is currently no consensus on the most effective modality to reduce adhesion formation.
