An investigation into early acquired dyslexia.

Neurocase

Deparment of Clinical Health Psychology, University of Manitoba, Faculty of Medicine, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

Published: April 2009

There are several group and case studies that investigate developmental dyslexia in children, and acquired and developmental reading disabilities in adults. To date however, there are few detailed investigations on cases of early acquired dyslexia. The purpose of this study was to examine such a case (participant referred to as SP). The goals of this investigation were to compare SP's reading impairments to the major subtypes of dyslexia, establish SP's specific reading deficits, and consider the neuropsychological variables that may impact on SP's reading disability.

Background/objectives: While studies in rat pups suggest that early zinc exposure is critical for optimal brain structure and function, associations of prenatal zinc intake with measures of brain development in infants are unknown. This study aimed to assess the associations of maternal zinc intake during pregnancy with MRI measures of brain tissue microstructure and neurodevelopmental outcomes, as well as to determine whether MRI measures of the brain mediated the relationship between maternal zinc intake and neurodevelopmental indices.

Methods: Forty-one adolescent mothers were recruited for a longitudinal study during pregnancy.

Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Increases the Risk of Lung Abscess: Findings from a Nationwide Cohort Study.

J Clin Med

January 2025

Division of Allergy and Pulmonology, Department of Internal Medicine, Chungnam National University Sejong Hospital, Sejong-si 30099, Republic of Korea.

This study aimed to investigate the association between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), assessed by the Fatty Liver Index (FLI), and the occurrence of lung abscess within a large population-based cohort. We conducted a nationwide retrospective study using data from 367,930 subjects who underwent National Health check-ups between 2009 and 2018. Cox proportional hazards regression was performed to evaluate the association between the FLI and the incidence of lung abscess and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) after adjusting for age, sex, and relevant covariates.

: The aim of this study is to assess the inter- and intra-observer reproducibility of the identification of direct and indirect ultrasonographic features of adenomyosis as defined by the revised Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) consensus (2022). : A cohort of 74 women, aged 18 to 45, were recruited from the recurrent miscarriage and general gynaecology clinic at a university-based fertility centre. All the participants underwent 2D and 3D transvaginal Ultrasound scan (TVS) examination in the late follicular and early luteal phase.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can preferentially absorb the released ammonium (NH) over nitrate (NO) during litter decomposition. However, the impact of AMF's absorption of NH on litter nitrogen (N) decomposition is still unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of AMF uptake for NH on litter N metabolic characteristics by enriching NH via AMF suppression and nitrification inhibition in a subtropical forest.

Exploring Potential Complement Modulation Strategies for Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Kidney Transplantation.

Antioxidants (Basel)

January 2025

Nephrology, Dialysis and Transplantation Unit, Advanced Research Center on Kidney Aging (A.R.K.A.), Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences, University of Foggia, 71122 Foggia, Italy.

The complement system plays a crucial role in regulating the inflammatory responses in kidney transplantation, potentially contributing to early decline in kidney function. Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is among the factors affecting graft outcomes and a primary contributor to delayed graft function. Complement activation, particularly the alternative pathway, participates in the pathogenesis of IRI, involving all kidney compartments.
