Systematic Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease increasingly prevalent in the aging population. AD is characterized by pathological features such as -amyloid (A) plaque accumulation, tau neurofibrillary tangles formation, oxidative stress, an impaired cholinergic system, and neuroinflammation. Many therapeutic drugs have been developed to slow the progression of AD by targeting these pathological mechanisms.

Preoperative radiological evaluation in cochlear implant candidates is pivotal for treatment planning. We aim to elucidate the spectrum of radiological findings in patients with congenital hearing loss undergoing cochlear implant assessment.

Objective: To evaluate the oncologic outcomes of de-escalating axillary surgery among patients with clinically node (cN)-positive breast cancer and patients whose disease became cN negative after NAC (ycN negative).
Design, Setting, And Participants: In the NEOSENTITURK MF-1803 prospective cohort registry trial, patients from 37 centers with cT1-4N1-3M0 disease treated with sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) or targeted axillary dissection (TAD) alone or with ypN-negative or ypN-positive disease after NAC were recruited between February 15, 2019, and January 1, 2023, and evaluated.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between language impairments and central auditory processing difficulties in children with self-limited epilepsy characterized by centrotemporal spikes, examining how these issues relate to seizure timing and neuropsychiatric aspects.
- Two groups of patients based on seizure timing underwent various assessments, revealing that both groups performed significantly worse on auditory processing tests compared to healthy controls, with some differences in expressive language scores.
- Findings indicate that children experiencing seizures at night may show more behavioral issues and impulsivity compared to those with seizures in the morning, highlighting the complex interactions between epilepsy, language, and neuropsychiatric functioning.
Introduction: Autism is a lifelong minority neurotype present from birth. There is a dearth of credible evidence to suggest gender variation in Autism prevalence, despite historical under-diagnosis of women. Autistic people Assigned Female At Birth (AFAB) have worse physical and mental health compared with non-Autistic peers.
