Background: Sleep disturbances, especially those lasting more than one hour, are under-researched in patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM). This study aims to investigate the prevalence and risk factors for such disturbances in DCM patients undergoing decompression surgery and to identify factors contributing to poor postoperative improvement.
Methods: A multicenter retrospective observational study was conducted on consecutive patients diagnosed with DCM who underwent cervical decompression surgery between April 2018 and August 2022.
Purpose: This study investigated the clinical features and surgical outcomes of full-thickness macular holes (FTMHs) without focal vitreomacular traction (VMT) and discusses possible underlying mechanisms.
Methods: This was a retrospective observational study included patients aged 18 years or older with stage 2 FTMHs who underwent pars plana vitrectomy at three hospitals between December 2016 and March 2024. Patients diagnosed without focal VMT in the macula were classified as VMT- and those with focal VMT were classified as VMT+.

Article Synopsis
- People with high beta amyloid levels have different risks and speeds of progressing to Alzheimer's disease (AD).
- This study aims to confirm a risk classification method for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) using data from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) alongside a new parameter called Cog_Vol.
- Findings indicate that MCI patients with a Cog_Vol greater than 340 have a very low risk of developing AD, while those below 101 are at a significantly high risk within four years.
Background; Turmeric starch (TS) has gained significant attention due to its potential health benefits. Rich in resistant starch (RS) and higher in phosphorus, TS is anticipated to possess properties of high-phosphorus-type RS. Objectives; To understand the host physiology of TS, this study investigated the dose-dependent effects of TS on colonic fermentation in rats.
