Maloney and Dal Martello [Maloney, L.T., Dal Martello, M.F. (2006). Kin recognition and the perceived facial similarity of children. Journal of Vision, 6(10), 1047-1056. http://www.journalofvision.org/6/10/4/] reported that similarity ratings of pairs of related and unrelated children were almost perfect predictors of the probability that those children were judged as being siblings by a second group of observers. Surprisingly, similarity ratings were poor predictors of whether a pair was same-sex or opposite-sex, suggesting that people ignore cues that are uninformative about kinship when making similarity judgments of faces. Using adult sibling faces, we find that similarity ratings for same-sex pairs were significantly higher than for opposite-sex pairs, suggesting that similarity judgments of adult faces are not entirely synonymous with kinship judgments.

J Hand Ther
January 2025
Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, University of Exeter, Exeter, United Kingdom.
Background: The Strengthening and Stretching for Rheumatoid Arthritis of the Hand (SARAH) program is an evidence-based exercise program for adults with hand function difficulties due to rheumatoid arthritis. A self-guided online version of the program has been developed for direct access by patients.
Purpose: To evaluate the delivery of the online program in routine therapy care and its impact on clinical outcomes, before making it widely available.

Facial onset sensory and motor neuronopathy (FOSMN) syndrome is a rare neurodegenerative disorder initially characterized by facial sensory deficits, which later progress to motor deficits in a rostral-caudal distribution. This study investigated the prevalence, clinical features, and prognosis of FOSMN syndrome and compared these aspects with those of bulbar-onset amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) within a single institutional cohort of motor neuron diseases. We identified four patients with FOSMN syndrome who had been misclassified as having bulbar-onset ALS, representing approximately 2 % of such ALS cases.

Background: Nitric oxide (NO) is involved in synaptic transmission and cerebral plasticity, playing a role in the memory process. However, in states of brain inflammation, hypoxia, or ischemia, there is induction of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression by astrocytes and pyramidal cells in the brain. Under conditions of chronic activation, there is a decoupling of iNOS dimers, leading to a massive generation of superoxide anion and peroxynitrite, O2.

Background: Prior research investigating sex and racial differences in amyloid pathology burden has yielded inconsistent findings. We examined the impact of sex and other confounding factors on neuritic plaque burden and cognitive outcomes.
Method: This study included 1,857 individuals, with post-mortem brain tissues, from the Biobank for Aging Studies of the University of São Paulo Medical School, collected from 2004-2023.

Department of Neurology, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA.
Background: Limbic predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE) is a common co-pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and is associated with advanced cognitive impairment and severe atrophy in limbic regions. In AD, various maturation stages for tau neurofibrillary tangles have been characterized and can be selectively marked by monoclonal tau antibodies, providing insight into disease progression. Indeed, AD tau pathology progresses from an early "paperclip" conformation, marked by the MC1 epitope to a C-terminally truncated form of tau, marked by MN423 epitope.
