Background: The diagnostic capability of fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is well established, but few studies have explored the utility of repeating scans, especially when using semi-quantification methods to analyze the decrement between them.
Methods: We retrospectively selected all patients at our clinic submitted to two or more FDG-PETs. The initial and final FDG-PET of each patient underwent semi-quantitative analysis using the CortexID® Suite software (GE Healthcare) for 26 pre-determined regions normalized for global cortical uptake.
Background: Motoric changes are one of the earlier changes in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), but they are often difficult to detect especially in the early stages. In the past, examination of handwriting has been used to investigate motoric changes as a proxy for cognitive impairment. In this study, we explore a wide array of explainable features from the handwriting of patients, obtained using signal processing, and their impact on assessment of AD and Mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

The lateral pterygoid muscle (LPM), a critical component of the masticatory muscles, typically comprises upper (SLPM) and lower (ILPM) heads. However, it is essential to note that the LPM's structure is not a constant feature, as the number of bundles and their topography can vary. Moreover, additional heads, such as medial and middle heads, and unique-headed configurations of the LPM have been reported.
