Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia globally, affecting around 50 million people and marked by cognitive decline and the accumulation of β-amyloid plaques and hyperphosphorylated tau. The limited treatment options and numerous failed clinical trials targeting β-amyloid (Aβ) highlight the need for novel approaches. Lowered proteasome activity is a consistent feature in AD, particularly in the hippocampus.

COVID-19 pandemic has pressed the use of ST and forced neurologists to deliver telehealth services. The aim of this study was to obtain the actual picture of ST accessibility/interest and to evaluate the user satisfaction in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This study focuses on enzyme-free glucose sensors based on 2D-MoS nanostructures explored by simple hydrothermal route. The 2D-MoS nanostructures were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and XPS techniques and were immobilized at GCE to obtain MoS-GCE interface.

Data Source: A comprehensive search was done, and data showing the efficacy and safety of selinexor in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma was collected using PubMed, Google Scholar, and clincialtrials.
Background: There are conflicting data regarding the relationship between center volume and outcomes in pediatric heart transplantation. Previous studies have not fully accounted for differences in case mix, particularly in high-risk congenital heart disease (CHD) groups. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between center volume and outcomes using the Pediatric Heart Transplant Society (PHTS) Registry and explore how case mix may affect outcomes.
