Article Synopsis
- Modern technologies have integrated into education, making e-learning a core part of student-centered learning, but current methodologies for evaluating its effectiveness lack consistency and precision.
- This study analyzes the academic performance of 1160 students in a human anatomy course delivered both face-to-face and online, comparing exam scores and response rates for each learning type.
- Results show that while face-to-face instruction resulted in higher scores overall, lower-performing students fared better with e-learning, with the differences in performance being modest across groups.
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.
Article Synopsis
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a serious motor neuron disease that can also exhibit cognitive and behavioral symptoms, often overlapping with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in some patients.
- * Around 50% of patients with motor neuron disease experience cognitive issues, with 10-15% meeting the criteria for FTD, emphasizing the need for better diagnostic tools.
- * A study analyzed data from 124 MND patients to understand the prevalence of FTD-related changes and identified specific clinical, genetic, and pathological subgroup characteristics, finding that 35.5% had features of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD).
Background: Pick's disease (PiD) is a rare and predominantly sporadic form of frontotemporal dementia that is classified as a primary tauopathy. PiD is pathologically defined by argyrophilic inclusion Pick bodies and ballooned neurons in the frontal and temporal brain lobes. PiD is characterised by the presence of Pick bodies which are formed from aggregated, hyperphosphorylated, 3-repeat tau proteins, encoded by the gene.
