Background: White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are commonly observed on MRI in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the molecular pathways underlying their relationships with the ATN biomarkers remain unclear. The aim of this study was to identify genetic variants that may modify the relationship between WMH and the ATN biomarkers.
Method: This genome-wide interaction study (GWIS) included individuals with AD, MCI, and normal cognition from ADNI (n = 1012).
Uncontrolled inflammation is the driver of numerous lung diseases. Current treatments, including corticosteroids and bronchodilators, can be effective. However, they often come with notable side effects.

The primary goal of this research is to examine the performance of lead-free perovskite solar cells that use methyl ammonium tin iodide (CHNHSnI) as the active material. The SCAPS-1D programme is employed for the simulation and analysis of the solar cells.

- Methamphetamine (METH) is a strong stimulant that disrupts several body processes, making it easy to abuse and causing potential liver damage through oxidative stress and metabolic disruptions.
- A study conducted in Baghdad with 196 male METH addicts revealed significant liver function impairments, particularly decreased albumin levels, compared to 187 healthy controls.
- Liver function tests indicated that certain liver enzymes (ALT, ALP, GGT) were more sensitive in detecting damage linked to METH addiction, showcasing the connection between substance abuse and liver health deterioration.
Purpose To assess the diagnostic performance of a coronary CT angiography (CCTA) artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled tool (AI-QCPA; HeartFlow) to quantify plaque volume, as compared with intravascular US (IVUS). Materials and Methods A retrospective subanalysis of a single-center prospective registry study was conducted in participants with ST-elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention of the culprit vessel. Participants with greater than 50% stenosis in nonculprit vessels underwent CCTA, invasive coronary angiography, and IVUS of nonculprit lesion(s) between 2 and 40 days after primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
