Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the risks of lingual tonsillectomy (LT) in a large cohort and compare these risks to those of palatine tonsillectomy (PT).
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from the United States collaborative network within TriNetX. The LT group was defined using Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code 42870 and PT group using CPT codes 42820, 42821, 42825, or 42826.
Background: About two-thirds of those with Alzheimer's disease (AD) are women, most of whom are post-menopausal. Menopause accelerates dementia risk by increasing the risk for metabolic, cardiovascular, and cerebrovascular diseases. Mid-life metabolic disease (obesity, diabetes/prediabetes) is a well-known risk factor for dementia.

- - The study investigates neurological features of Fabry disease (FD) by using deep learning to estimate brain age and assess whether FD patients' brains appear older than those of healthy controls.
- - A model was trained on a large dataset of healthy brain scans to generate brain age predictions, revealing that FD patients had a significant brain-age difference compared to healthy controls, indicating a potential biomarker for disease severity.
- - Findings showed that this brain-age difference (brain-PAD) correlates with measures of disease severity, such as the Fabry stabilization index and brain volume reduction, suggesting that brain-PAD can serve as an important indicator of neurological decline in FD.
Proust was undoubtedly a pioneer in exploring cognitive processes engaged in memory. The analysis of the episode of the madeleine, as well as the study of Proust's statements on the goals of his work, clearly reveal the visionary side of this author. Long before several concepts entered into mainstream scientific thought, Proust proposed, among other things, that recall was a reconstruction, that a sensory cue could provoke a memory recall, and that we should distinguish between voluntary and involuntary memory.
