Many individuals with Down syndrome are diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a medical condition that substantially affects health and quality of life. The most common treatment for OSA is positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy. Few studies have examined interventions to improve PAP therapy adherence for adults with developmental disabilities or have recruited the assistance of caregivers to improve adherence with this therapy in the home.

Methods: A mediation analysis was performed to assess the relationship between neuroimaging markers and plasma biomarkers on sEF in 333 participants clinically diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease/mild cognitive impairment, frontotemporal dementia, or cerebrovascular disease from the Ontario Neurodegenerative Disease Research Initiative.
Results: PVS was significantly associated with sEF (c = -0.
Background: Delay in the diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) in toddlers and postnatal depression (PND) is a major public health issue. In both cases, early intervention is crucial but too rarely implemented in practice.
Objective: Our goal was to determine if a dedicated mobile app can improve screening of 5 NDDs (autism spectrum disorder [ASD], language delay, dyspraxia, dyslexia, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder [ADHD]) and reduce PND incidence.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) and amyloid beta (Aβ) impact hippocampal atrophy, which affects memory in dementia.
- Researchers examined a cohort with both Alzheimer's disease and SVD, assessing how SVD, white matter hyperintensities (WMH), and Aβ influence hippocampal volume and shape using advanced imaging techniques.
- Findings indicate that frontal WMH and Aβ independently contribute to reduced hippocampal volume, while their effects on hippocampal shape vary, suggesting specific patterns of atrophy could help in diagnosing and treating mixed dementia.
The aim of this literature review was to present the novel imaging modalities elastography and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography. We provided an overview of the concepts and applications of each technique for the investigation of neoplastic and metastatic tumors in dogs and cats. Studies on elastography are based on the elasticity and deformation of the evaluated tissue.
