Schizophrenia is a frequent and disabling disease. The persistence of the disorder despite its harmful consequences represents an evolutionary paradox. Based on recent discoveries in genetics, scientists have formulated the "price-to-pay" hypothesis: schizophrenia would be intimately related to human evolution, particularly to brain development and human-specific higher cognitive functions.

The aim of this study is to investigate the association between four phenotypes of sarcopenia/obesity in older individuals and functional disability, malnutrition, and all-cause mortality. This study is a cross-sectional study, survival is 3 years. A total of 487 Chinese older adults were included with 283 (58.

To prevent future ischemic strokes, especially in younger individuals, it is crucial to detect and treat direct and indirect cardioembolic sources.

: Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) can prevent ventricular arrhythmia-related sudden cardiac death but cause paradoxical discomfort that impairs daily living and quality of life. No management guidelines exist for reducing pain, improving motion around the CIED implantation site, or preventing shoulder contractures. We evaluated the impact of continuous successive shoulder rehabilitation programs for CIED patients on reducing shoulder pain, improving shoulder range of motion, and patient satisfaction in daily living.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder influenced by various genetic factors. In addition to the well-established amyloid precursor protein (), Presenilin-1 (), Presenilin-2 (), and apolipoprotein E (), several other genes such as Sortilin-related receptor 1 (), Phospholipid-transporting ATPase ABCA7 (), Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 2 (), Phosphatidylinositol-binding clathrin assembly protein (), and clusterin () were implicated. These genes contribute to neurodegeneration through both gain-of-function and loss-of-function mechanisms.
