Article Synopsis
  • Traditional cognitive assessments often measure performance at just one point in time, which can overlook how cognitive abilities change due to various factors like environment and health conditions, making these assessments less reliable for certain populations, like individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
  • The study aimed to validate a new method called ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to track cognitive performance over time in both adults with T1D and a general community sample, measuring their performance multiple times daily across several days.
  • Results showed that cognitive EMA has high reliability and validity, effectively capturing both individual differences and fluctuations in cognitive performance within individuals, proving to be a useful tool for understanding cognitive variations in real-world settings.

Background: We aimed to develop an autophagy-related prognostic model with single-cell RNA sequencing (ScRNA-Seq) data for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients.

Methods: ScRNA-Seq datasets of HCC patients were analyzed by Seurat. The expression of genes involved in canonical and noncanonical autophagy pathways in scRNA-seq data was also compared.
