Although medial temporal atrophy (MTA) and parietal atrophy (Koedam score) have been used to diagnose Alzheimer's disease (AD), early detection of other dementia types remains elusive. The study aims to investigate the association between these brain imaging markers and cognitive function in dementia. This cross-sectional study collected data from the Memory Clinic of Dr.

- Organophosphate and carbamate pesticides can cause cholinesterase suppression, leading to acute poisoning symptoms like muscle paralysis, and may affect cognitive performance in chronic exposure cases.
- A study in Indonesia evaluated farmers' cholinesterase levels and cognitive performance through tests like MMSE and Stroop Test, finding that prolonged exposure to organophosphates resulted in lower cognitive scores.
- The results suggest that while organophosphate exposure correlates with decreased cognitive function, blood cholinesterase levels may not directly link to these effects, indicating potential non-cholinergic mechanisms at play.
Context: Radiofrequency therapy is a medical procedure mainly used to reduce pain with a low complication rate (less than 1%), ease of application, and low cost. This review's objective was to (1) evaluate the pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) effectiveness in treating radicular pain and (2) assess the PRF procedure's safety in managing radicular pain in lumbar herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP).
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
