Unlabelled: The aim of the study was to investigate the apoptosis in normal human skin by examination of all epidermal layers.
Material And Methods: The normal skin epidermis of 15 healthy subjects was investigated by TUNEL (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-X nick end labeling) technique. Apoptotic cells were evaluated in the germinative and differential compartments and stratum corneum. Only highly TUNEL-positive cells with typical morphological DNA fragmentation signs were calculated.
Results: In vital strata (except stratum corneum) of normal skin epidermis, 37.5% of all TUNEL-positive cells were observed in the germinative compartment and 41.7% in the granular layer of differential compartment.
Conclusions: The study showed that apoptosis occurs in all layers of normal skin epidermis. It demonstrates that apoptosis is highly important in the renewal of cells and formation of epidermal structure within all compartments.

For patients with nonmetastatic soft tissue sarcoma (STS) who are at high risk of local recurrence, the standard of care for limb-conserving local management is combined radiotherapy and surgery. Radiotherapy for STS entails 5 weeks of conventionally fractionated radiotherapy (25 × 2 Gy) preoperatively or 6 or more weeks postoperatively. There is growing interest in the use of preoperative hypofractionated regimes, viz.

Patients with localized scleroderma on the face typically exhibit asymmetrical linear or patchy skin lesions and indentations on areas such as the scalp and forehead, with a smooth, waxy surface. In the early stages, medication is used to control the progression of the disease. In later stages, plastic surgery is performed to repair facial skin lesions.

Background: Cognitive changes affecting performance are subtle in early stages of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and may emerge only with more complex tasks. Driving is a highly challenging instrumental activity of daily living, requiring higher order integration of cognitive skills. For example, driving on freeway entrance ramps requires heightened cognitive engagement such as rapid responses to fast-emerging traffic and sudden speed changes, combining sensory processing and manipulative actions.

Background: Previous literature has highlighted that excessive alcohol use (EAU) is directly linked with permanent neurological damage. Studies have also highlighted gradual improvements in heart rate variability (HRV) after cessation of alcohol use. Moreover, chronic alcohol consumption has also been correlated with reduced HRV and an increase in skin conductance (SC) among healthy adults, leading to a combined decline in cognitive performance.

Background: A patient presented to movement disorder clinic with cognitive complaints, imbalance and prior diagnosis of NPH. The patient underwent ventriculoperitoneal shunt in the past with minimal improvement, a detailed history is suggestive of REM sleep behavioral disorder, autonomic dysfunction including orthostatic hypotension and urinary incontinence.
Method: Clinical evaluation was notable for bradykinesia, rigidity, truncal and cervical dystonia, shuffling steps, reduced arm swing bilaterally and pink, dusky skin of both hands.
