This systematic review of neuropsychological rehabilitation strategies for primary progressive aphasia will consider recent developments in cognitive neuroscience, especially neuroimaging techniques such as EEG and fMRI, to outline how these tools might be integrated into clinical practice to maximize treatment outcomes. A systematic search of peer-reviewed literature from the last decade was performed following the PRISMA guidelines across multiple databases. A total of 63 studies were included, guided by predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, with a focus on cognitive and language rehabilitation in PPA, interventions guided by neuroimaging, and mechanisms of neuroplasticity.

We aimed to test the hypothesis that BMP10 has high diagnostic and prognostic accuracy in patients presenting with acute dyspnea.
Methods And Results: In a multicenter diagnostic study, BMP10, high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT), and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentrations were determined in patients presenting with acute dyspnea to the emergency department.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis responds to thyroid hormones in pregnant women, specifically focusing on the relationship between central sensitivity to these hormones (measured by the Thyroid Feedback Quantile-based Index or TFQI) and urinary iodine (UI) levels.
- A total of 1,102 blood and urine samples were collected from healthy pregnant women, assessing levels of TSH, fT4, anti-thyroid antibodies, and UI across different trimesters and postpartum.
- Results showed a negative correlation between TFQI and UI levels, indicating higher central sensitivity to thyroid hormones when UI is lower; interestingly, this relationship varied depending on the trimester and them
Background: Severe dysphagia poses a significant challenge for clinicians regarding feeding tube choices, practices, and timing due to a lack of evidence-based guidance.
Objectives: To assess national clinical practices and opinions on gastrostomy use in patients with atypical parkinsonian syndromes (APS) across the UK.
Methods: Online survey was administered to clinicians and allied health professionals regarding availability of services, current use, perceived advantages, and problems associated with gastrostomy insertion.
