Prediction of dementia using CT imaging in stroke (PRODUCTS).

Introduction: A better understanding of who will develop dementia can inform patient care. Although MRI offers prognostic insights, access is limited globally, whereas CT-imaging is readily available in acute stroke. We explored the prognostic utility of acute CT-imaging for predicting dementia.

Implementing Open Educational Resources: Lessons Learned.

Background: Effective training of clinical educators and preceptors is needed to support new nurses and to advance national recommendations that nurses be prepared to address health equity. A lack of instructors and preceptors has been identified as a contributing factor to the nursing shortage. Nurse educators and preceptors may not have had preparation in teaching concepts of health equity.

Qualitative research and literature review support the integrated Alzheimer's Disease Rating Scale (iADRS) content validity in early symptomatic AD.

Background And Objectives: The integrated Alzheimer's Disease Rating Scale (iADRS) is a measure of cognition and daily function used to evaluate treatment effects in Alzheimer's disease (AD) clinical trials. This study aimed to assess the content validity of the iADRS in early symptomatic AD, and to determine whether integrating assessment of cognition and function into a single measure of global disease severity is supported by the patients' experience.

Methods: A targeted literature review of qualitative research in AD and qualitative interviews with 25 care partners of individuals with early symptomatic AD were conducted.

Investigation regarding the physiological effects of cobalt on physiological functions in Drosophila, crayfish, and crab: Behavioral, cardiac, neural, and synaptic properties.

Cobalt, a metallic element found naturally in the earth's crust, is essential to survival. It is the active center of cobalamins such as vitamin B12 and is also a micronutrient for bacteria, algae, and fungi. The effects of cobalt (II) chloride (CoCl), the inorganic form of cobalt, are dependent on the dosage.
