Two experiments investigated proactive facilitation (PF) or proactive interference (PI) in the recall of recently learned targets, under conditions of assessing the detection and recollection of target changes across two learning phases (with A-B/A-D word pairs). Some changes established meaningful connections across the phases; others did not. Task instructions on the subsequent cued-recall test (Experiment 1) or during Phase 2 study (Experiment 2) guided participants (university students) to monitor and report the changes.

Article Synopsis
  • Patients with telomere biology disorders (TBD) commonly experience severe liver diseases, and while liver transplantation (LT) is debated for these cases, this study aimed to evaluate patient outcomes and management strategies related to TBD-associated liver disease.
  • A total of 83 patients were analyzed, with 40 experiencing advanced liver disease; among them, 20 underwent LT, and notable factors like pulmonary issues and elevated bilirubin levels were linked to the advanced disease group.
  • Results showed that LT recipients had a 73% one-year survival rate and improved respiratory conditions in over half of the patients post-transplant, suggesting that a TBD diagnosis should not prevent consideration for LT.

Objectives: Renal impairment is prevalent in adults with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD/metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease [MASLD]) and is associated with increased mortality. Pediatric data are limited. Our objective was to determine the prevalence of hyperfiltration or chronic kidney disease (CKD) in children with NAFLD/MASLD and determine links with liver disease severity.

Herbal and dietary supplements (HDS) are a common etiology of drug induced liver injury and, specifically, Herbalife® supplements have been implicated. Hepatitis associated aplastic anemia (HAAA) is a rare and potentially fatal complication after acute hepatitis characterized by pancytopenia. While there have been rare cases of HDS leading to HAAA, no cases of Herbalife® induced liver injury leading to HAAA have been reported from this specific HDS.

Purpose: YKT6 plays important roles in multiple intracellular vesicle trafficking events but has not been associated with Mendelian diseases.

Methods: We report 3 unrelated individuals with rare homozygous missense variants in YKT6 who exhibited neurological disease with or without a progressive infantile liver disease. We modeled the variants in Drosophila.
