Longitudinal association between ß-amyloid accumulation and cognitive decline in cognitively healthy older adults: A systematic review.

This systematic review examined the longitudinal association between amyloid-β (Aβ) accumulation and cognitive decline in cognitively healthy adults. It was conducted using the PubMed, Embase, PsycInfo, and Web of Science databases. The methodological quality of the selected articles was assessed.

General practitioners and endometriosis: Level of knowledge and the impact of training.

Objective: To assess general practitioners' (GPs') knowledge of and practice in the diagnosis and management of endometriosis following the publication of updated French national guidelines in 2017.

Trail Making Tests A and B: regression-based normative data for Quebec French-speaking mid and older aged adults.

Objective: The Trail Making Test (TMT) is mainly used to assess visual scanning/processing speed (part A) and executive functions (part B). The test has proven sensitive at detecting cognitive impairment during aging. However, previous studies have shown differences between normative data from different countries and cultures, even when corrected for age and education.

Comparison of cardiac output optimization with an automated closed-loop goal-directed fluid therapy versus non standardized manual fluid administration during elective abdominal surgery: first prospective randomized controlled trial.

An intraoperative automated closed-loop system for goal-directed fluid therapy has been successfully tested in silico, in vivo and in a clinical case-control matching. This trial compared intraoperative cardiac output (CO) in patients managed with this closed-loop system versus usual practice in an academic medical center. The closed-loop system was connected to a CO monitoring system and delivered automated colloid fluid boluses.
