Echocardiographic Z-score models play a crucial role in defining cardiac pathology in paediatric patients. There are multiple models that practitioners utilize in the United States without guiding principles to standardize their use. Discrepant interpretations can occur depending on the model chosen, even if standardized Z-score cutoffs are applied.

Mitochondrial dysfunction and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation play an import role in different human pathologies. In this context, mitochondrial targeting of potentially protective antioxidants by their coupling to the lipophilic triphenylphosphonium cation (TPP) is widely applied. Employing a six‑carbon (C) linker, we recently demonstrated that mitochondria-targeted phenolic antioxidants derived from gallic acid (AntiOxBEN) and caffeic acid (AntiOxCIN) counterbalance oxidative stress in primary human skin fibroblasts by activating ROS-protective mechanisms.

Background: With a global ageing population, there is an increasing demand for fast and reliable early diagnosis of individuals. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have an immense potential in assisting clinicians in diagnosing dementia. Regional atrophy patterns, which are visible in T1-weighted MRI scans, have been consistently identified by the CNNs with high accuracy.

TES symptoms can mirror Alzheimer's disease (AD) despite absence of hallmark AD pathology. We investigated whether GFAP, NfL, and IL-6 correlated with cognition and brain volume changes within TES relative to AD.

Background: Background. According to the World Health Organization, dementia is one of the leading causes of disability in the elderly, imposing a significant burden on global public health. It is estimated that dementia affects over 55 million people worldwide, with 60% of them living in low- and middle-income countries.
