Background: Currently, the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease dementia (ADD) is determined based on clinical criteria, as well as specific imaging and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarker profiles. However, healthcare professionals face a variety of challenges that hinder their application, such as the interpretation and integration or large amounts of data derived from neuropsychological assessment, the importance attributed to each source of information and the impact of unknown variables, among others. Therefore, this research focuses on the development of a computerized diagnostic tool based on Artificial Intelligence (AI), to strengthen the capacity of healthcare professionals in the identification and diagnosis of ADD.

We sought to analyze the influence of atrial arrhythmias on long-term outcomes in this group.
Methods: A retrospective review of all patients with D-TGA and atrial switch followed at a tertiary care center was performed.
Formamide (NHC(O)H) has been observed both in the interstellar medium (ISM), being identified as a potential precursor of prebiotic molecules in space, and in the Earth's atmosphere. In these environments where temperature is very distinct, hydroxyl (OH) radicals may play an important role in the degradation of NHC(O)H. Thus, in this work, we report for the first time the experimental study of the temperature dependence of the gas-phase removal of OH in the presence of NHC(O)H over the 11.

- Changes in lunar illumination affect the risks and opportunities for animals, influencing their behavior and interactions, particularly in tropical forests.
- The study analyzed long-term data from 86 mammal species across 17 protected forests, revealing that many species avoid moonlight during full moons (lunar phobia) more than they are attracted to it (lunar philia).
- The findings highlight that lunar phases significantly influence mammal activity even in dense forests, which may be more pronounced in areas that are degraded or fragmented.
Article Synopsis
- Management decisions in wildlife conservation should consider both habitat selection and demographic performance, as habitat selection alone may not reflect true species viability.
- This study focuses on the greater sage-grouse to illustrate how mapping habitat selection against survival rates can reveal important mismatches and trade-offs throughout different reproductive life stages.
- By integrating demographic measures into habitat management, conservation efforts can be more effectively tailored to enhance species survival and resource allocation, particularly during critical life stages.
