Background/objectives: Objective memory decline is associated with poor quality of life (QOL) in Parkinson's disease (PD, but it is unclear what role perception of memory (metamemory) plays. The Multifactorial Memory Questionnaire (MMQ) measures metamemory and is proposed to have a three-factor structure, but the factor structure of the MMQ in PD has not been explored. The current study examined (i) the factor structure of the MMQ in PD and (ii) the relationship between the metamemory and QOL in PD.

Methods: We examined whether atypical AD exhibited increased comorbid neuropathology compared to typical AD and if such neuropathologies contributed to the accelerated clinical decline in atypical AD.
Article Synopsis
- Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) face an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), which is heightened for those with low-grade dysplasia (LGD).
- A study involving 122 patients revealed that the burden of somatic copy number alterations (CNAs) in LGD lesions can significantly predict future cancer development, outperforming traditional clinical risk factors.
- The research suggests that measuring CNAs in LGD lesions is a cost-effective method for assessing CRC risk, allowing for better management of high-risk patients while reducing unnecessary treatments for those at low risk.
Background: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, face-to-face consultations within healthcare settings were suspended. Remote consultations became crucial for managing musculoskeletal conditions alongside Patient Initiated Follow-ups, leading to the development of the DiAL programme at a large National Health Service Community Trust. Previous research has focused on quantitative data, little is known about staff experiences with this programme.

July 2024
Background: Surgical intervention for tongue-tie, or ankyloglossia performed by paediatric dentists can alleviate symptoms and improve functional abilities in infants and children. Despite widespread practice, there are currently no established clinical guidelines or consistent approaches for pre- and post-operative care of children.
Aim: The aim of this study was to explore approaches to pre- and post-operative care for children with ankyloglossia having frenum surgery.
