Our review summarizes the diagnostic accuracy of plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) phosphorylated tau 217 (p-tau217) in detecting amyloid and tau pathology on positron emission tomography (PET). We systematically reviewed studies that reported the diagnostic accuracy of plasma and CSF p-tau217, searching MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science through August 2024. The accuracy of p-tau217 in predicting amyloid and tau pathology on PET was evaluated in 30 studies.

- Late-onset psychosis (LOP) is a complex and poorly understood condition that could stem from late-onset schizophrenia or Alzheimer's disease, making accurate diagnosis crucial for effective treatment.
- * This study used structural MRI data from 699 healthy individuals and 469 patients with schizophrenia or Alzheimer's to employ data-driven techniques, specifically K-means clustering, to differentiate between these conditions.
- * Findings indicated that structural differences, such as larger right putamen volumes in schizophrenia patients, could help in distinguishing between AD and SCZ, highlighting the need for better diagnostic tools for LOP.
Winter wheat ( L.) is a significant forage source for livestock grazing in the Southern Great Plains (SGP). However, increasing input costs and changing climate conditions compel producers and researchers to search for alternative forage systems, such as cool-season perennials.

- The study explores the emerging field of epidemiological criminology, focusing on the relationship between public health and justice systems, while identifying knowledge gaps in existing research.
- By analyzing 34,481 PubMed abstracts from 1963 to 2023, the study highlights that nearly half of these abstracts lack population characteristic details, with only a small percentage providing comprehensive demographic information.
- Findings reveal a significant increase in research on female populations, which now surpasses that on males, raising concerns about the underrepresentation of male prisoners in studies, despite them making up the majority of the incarcerated population.
