Evidence of cortical vascular impairments in early stage of Alzheimer's transgenic mice: Optical imaging.

Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder with progressive cognitive decline, remains clinically challenging with limited understanding of etiology and interventions. Clinical studies have reported vascular defects prior to other pathological manifestations of AD, leading to the "Vascular Hypothesis" for the disorder. However, assessments of cerebral vasculature in AD rodent models have been constrained by limited spatiotemporal resolution or field of view of conventional imaging.

Reproductive biology of long-whiskered catfish (Mystus aor) relative to temperature and precipitation from the Kaptai Lake of Bangladesh.

Life-history information is necessary for effective conservation, aquaculture development and broodstock management of fishing populations, especially for fish with significant economic exploitation. Aiming to characterise the life-history traits in relation to the environmental parameters of the long-whiskered catfish, Mystus aor, a commercially important species from Kaptai Lake, Bangladesh, different life-history data were analysed. The monthly condition factor (K) ranged from 1.

Evaluating Dentists' Understanding of Dry Mouth Management: An International Cross-Sectional Study.

Objective: Studying dentists' knowledge of dry mouth management is crucial for effective diagnosis and treatment, improving patient outcomes and oral health. This study aimed to evaluate their knowledge and awareness of dry mouth and its predictors.

Materials And Methods: A pre-validated online survey was administered to a convenience sample of dentists across six countries.

An Alternative Diagnostic Test rather than 24 hours Urinary Protein to Detect Massive Proteinuria in Nephrotic Syndrome in Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh.

This cross-sectional study was conducted in Department of Paediatrics, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital (MMCH), Bangladesh from February 2016 to December 2016 to detect massive proteinuria by spot urinary protein creatinine ratio as an alternative diagnostic test to 24 hrs urinary total protein in nephrotic syndrome. Fifty one (51) children aged 2 to 12 years admitted with 1st episode of nephrotic syndrome in the pediatric department of MMCH were included in this by purposive sampling technique. All the patients were asked to give a 24 hours urine sample.
