Biomarkers.

Background: Cerebrovascular disease features as the most common comorbidity in older individuals with dementia. White matter (WM) injury identified through white matter hyperintensities (WMH) on FLAIR represents evident late-stage pathophysiological manifestations of CVD. This study aims to assess the role of baseline microstructural WM integrity, using free water (FW), a measure from diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), in predicting WMH growth dynamic.

Multilayer Nanocarrier for the Codelivery of Interferons: A Promising Strategy for Biocompatible and Long-Acting Antiviral Treatment.

Interferons (IFNs) are cytokines involved in the immune response with a synergistic regulatory effect on the immune response. They are therapeutics for various viral and proliferative conditions, with proven safety and efficacy. Their clinical application is challenging due to the molecules' size, degradation, and pharmacokinetics.

Periprosthetic Hip Fracture due to Ballistic Injuries.

Periprosthetic hip fractures are a common cause for revision. To date, however, there are no reports of periprosthetic fractures (PFs) in total hip arthroplasty caused by ballistic injury (BI). There are no current recommendations on the management of this pathology in the literature.

Critical swimming speed at different temperatures for small-bodied freshwater native riverine fish species.

This study evaluated the effect of fish total length (L) and three water temperatures (10, 15 and 20 °C) on the critical swimming speed (U) of the species Percilia irwini (2.9-6.3 cm L), Cheirodon galusdae (3.
