Repercussions of abuse by caregivers in the elderly population with dementia: a scoping review.

Due to the ageing population throughout the world, the rates of older adults suffering from dementia are increasing, requiring a closer look at this population. As a result, the aim of this scoping review is to gather data from the scientific literature on the repercussions of abuse of elderly people with dementia by their caregivers. For this review, Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for scoping reviews was used as a guideline to structure the review topics.

Comparison of cardiovascular risk prediction models developed using machine learning based on data from a Sri Lankan cohort with World Health Organization risk charts for predicting cardiovascular risk among Sri Lankans: a cohort study.

Introduction: Models derived from non-Sri Lankan cohorts are used for cardiovascular (CV) risk stratification of Sri Lankans.

Objective: To develop a CV risk prediction model using machine learning (ML) based on data from a Sri Lankan cohort followed up for 10 years, and to compare the predictions with WHO risk charts.

Design: Cohort study.

KRT20-/SATB2+/MCPyV+ Sinonasal Merkel Cell Carcinoma: A Detailed Immunohistochemical and In Situ Hybridization Study.

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an uncommon aggressive neoplasm, usually arising in sun-exposed skin of the head and neck. By immunohistochemistry, KRT20 and MCPyV positivity are found in about 90% and 80% of MCCs, respectively. Noteworthy, viral status in lip/oral cavity MCCs is poorly known.

Insights of cellular and molecular changes in sugarcane response to oxidative signaling.

Significant changes in the proteome highlight essential metabolic adaptations for development and oxidative signaling induced by the treatment of young sugarcane plants with hydrogen peroxide. These adaptations suggest that hydrogen peroxide acts not only as a stressor but primarily as a signaling molecule, triggering specific metabolic pathways that regulate growth and plant resilience. Sugarcane is a crucial crop for sugar and ethanol production, often influenced by environmental signals.
