Limited data exist on cancer screening in carceral facilities. This study evaluates the feasibility and outcomes of a population-based lung cancer screening initiative in a carceral setting. This is a retrospective review of a lung cancer screening event at the Rhode Island Department of Corrections.

Background: Kirner deformity is a rare anomaly of the little finger in adolescents, characterized by a deformity of the distal phalanx and a radiologically L-shaped epiphysis, along with palmar and radial angulation of the distal phalanx. Due to the rarity of these pathological findings, there are no systematic literature reviews available. This work serves as an overview of the clinical presentation, frequency and age distributions, as well as possible conservative and surgical treatment options.

Background: The common APOE2/E3/E4 polymorphism, the strongest risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), is determined by two-site haplotypes at codons 112 (Cys>Arg) and 158 (Arg>Cys), resulting into six genotypes. Due to strong linkage disequilibrium between the two sites, 3 of the 4 expected haplotypes (E2, E3, E4) have been observed and extensively studied in relation to AD risk. Compared to the most common haplotype of E3 (Cys112 - Arg158), E4 (Arg112 - Arg 158) and E2 (Cys112 - Cys158) haplotypes are determined by a single-point mutation at codons 112 and 158, respectively.

University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA, USA.
Background: It is increasingly apparent that tau pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD) begins in the brainstems of middle-aged patients, decades before the onset of symptoms. Most studies are, however, based on brain-bank cohorts and focus on patients dying of natural causes. The true incidence of tau pathology in the brainstem thus remains unclear.

Background: Spouses of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients are at a higher risk of developing incidental dementia. However, the causes and underlying mechanism of this clinical observation remain largely unknown. One possible explanation is linked to microbiota dysbiosis, a condition that has been associated with AD.
