Introduction: Hippocampal hyperactivity is a hallmark of prodromal Alzheimer's disease (AD) that predicts progression in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). AGB101 is an extended-release formulation of levetiracetam in the dose range previously demonstrated to normalize hippocampal activity and improve cognitive performance in aMCI. The HOPE4MCI study was a 78-week trial to assess the progression of MCI due to AD.

Tape rolls are often used for multiple patients despite recommendations by manufacturers for single-patient use. We developed a survey to query Health Care Personnel about their tape use practices and beliefs and uncovered behaviors that put patients at risk for hospital-acquired infections due to tape use.

Here, we utilize wavelet-based techniques to explore the characteristic temporal scales associated with coherent patterns in the measured temperature and the turbulent fluxes during a prescribed wind-driven (heading) surface fire beneath a forest canopy. We use temperature and velocity measurements from tower-mounted sonic anemometers at multiple heights.

Materials And Methods: This was a single center, retrospective, cohort study of patients with hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (HDP) before 37 weeks' gestation from January 2014 to March 2022. Patients were triaged to inpatient or outpatient management at the discretion of their obstetrician.
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common complication after acute kidney injury (AKI). We aimed to evaluate whether RRT initiation strategy had an effect on CKD progression. Secondarily, we aimed to identify factors that influenced the development or progression of CKD following severe AKI.
