Parkinson's Disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease worldwide due to loss of dopaminergic neurons projecting from the basal ganglia (BG). It is associated with various motor symptoms that are grouped into subtypes, each with different clinical presentations and disease progressions. Neuroimaging biomarkers focusing on regions a part of motor circuits projecting from the BG can distinguish and improve overall subtyping.

- - The transition of tetrapods to terrestrial ecosystems around 375 million years ago marked a significant evolutionary step, driven by adaptations like the development of a tympanic ear that improved sound detection in air.
- - Earlier theories claimed a single evolutionary origin for the tympanic ear in tetrapods, but recent studies indicate it evolved independently in amphibians, mammals, and reptiles, though it’s unclear how many times this occurred within reptiles.
- - New research combines developmental and paleontological insights, suggesting that the tympanic membrane was likely present in a common ancestor of crown reptiles, arguing for a single evolutionary origin rather than multiple instances for tympanic hearing in modern reptiles.
Background: The treatment of endometriosis and adenomyosis requires a complex, multidisciplinary approach. Some centres have established multidisciplinary teams (MDT) and regular meetings. There are currently no international data or recommendations.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFHuman biomonitoring (HBM) data measured in specific contexts or populations provide information for comparing population exposures. There are numerous health-based biomonitoring guidance values, but to locate these values, interested parties need to seek them out individually from publications, governmental reports, websites and other sources. Until now, there has been no central, international repository for this information.
