Article Synopsis
- Scientists studied how brain changes in older people could cause problems with thinking and feeling, particularly in those with mild cognitive issues and depression.
- They looked at 12 people with mild cognitive impairment, 24 people with late-life depression, and 26 healthy individuals using brain scans and tests over 2 years.
- The results showed that specific brain activity patterns could help doctors understand and spot early signs of thinking and mood problems that might lead to Alzheimer's disease.
Introduction: We compared effective connectivity from the locus coeruleus (LC) during the resting-state in patients with late-life Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), individuals with amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (aMCI), and Healthy Controls (HCs).
Participants: 23 patients with late-life MDD, 22 patients with aMCI, and 28 HCs.
Material And Methods: Participants were assessed in two time-points, 2 years apart.

Introduction: Carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (CRGN) are an urgent public health threat because of the limited treatment options, its rapid spreading and high clinical impact and mortality rates. However, the burden and the use of resources of these infections have not been investigated. The aim of the current study is to understand the use of resources associated to the clinical management of CRGN infections in real clinical practice conditions.

Determining neurobiological alterations in connectivity in LLD by means of fMRI may lead to a better understanding of the neural basis underlying this disorder and more precise diagnostic markers. The primary objective of this paper is to identify a structural model that best explains the dynamic effective connectivity (EC) of the default mode network (DMN) in LLD patients compared to controls.

The present study aims to study resting-state functional connectivity within the DMN in people diagnosed with late-life major depressive disorder (MDD) compared to healthy controls (HCs). Moreover, we would like to differentiate these same connectivity patterns between participants with high vs.
