Background: Clinically meaningful cognitive impairment has typically been defined as a single impaired test score, but this approach is prone to false-positive errors. Examining two test scores at a lower threshold (i.e.

Background: Traumatic encephalopathy syndrome (TES) is the proposed clinical syndrome of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a neurodegenerative disease associated with repetitive head impacts in contact/collision sports. A core clinical feature of TES is cognitive impairment, particularly in memory and executive functions. Cognitive intraindividual variability (IIV) is the extent of variability in neuropsychological test performance (i.

Background: Lewy body (LB) diseases can present with overlapping prodromal, cognitive, motor, autonomic or neuropsychiatric symptoms. Intuitively, greater symptom severity should correlate with greater pathological burden, but this has not been consistently shown. LB pathology does not translate to clinical expression in Incidental LB disease.

Radiation therapy is a primary modality for cancer treatment; however, it often leads to various degrees of skin injuries, ranging from mild rashes to severe ulcerations, for which no effective treatments are currently available. In this study, a multifunctional microsphere (PC@CuS-ALG) was synthesized by encapsulating phycocyanin-templated copper sulfide nanoparticles (PC@CuS) within alginate (ALG) using microfluidic technology. Phycocyanin, a natural protein derived from microalgae, shows abilities to scavenge reactive oxygen species, repair radiation-induced damage to skin cells, and ameliorate macrophage-related inflammatory responses.
