Early-onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD) is less investigated than the more common late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) despite its more aggressive course. A cortical signature of EOAD was recently proposed and may facilitate EOAD investigation. Here, we aimed to validate this proposed MRI biomarker of EOAD neurodegeneration in an Appalachian clinical cohort.

This study aimed to describe trends in ovarian cancer survival in Sergipe, Northeast Brazil, by histological group.
Methods: We analysed data on 948 women aged 15-99 years diagnosed with a cancer of the ovary between 1996 and 2017, in Sergipe, Brazil.
Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is classically characterized by alterations in memory consolidation. With the advent of diagnostic biomarkers, some patients clinically diagnosed with AD display biomarkers inconsistent with the diagnosis.
Objective: We aimed to explore differences in memory consolidation and neurodegeneration of the temporal and parietal lobes as a function of amyloid-β status in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI).
Patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL) have limited effective treatment options. Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKis) increase the anti-tumoural phenotype of tumour-associated macrophages, providing rationale to combine them with rituximab and lenalidomide (R). Acalabrutinib, a second-generation BTKi, has potential to improve R efficacy without increasing T-cell-mediated toxicity due to its lack of interleukin-2-inducible T-cell kinase inhibition.
