Here we report an investigation on the serial position effect (SPE) in elderly patients with early dementia due to different etiologies. The Rey's 15 words test has been used to evaluate whether different types of dementia show different patterns of immediate and delayed recall and of learning process. Ninety-four patients were recruited from the Geriatric Clinic of Padua. We evaluated the primacy effect (PE), the recency effect (RE) and the learning process within the sample. Our results indicate that different etiologies have different patterns of anterograde memory impairment.

Effects of obstructive sleep apnea on nocturnal changes in blood pressure - a retrospective study.
Hypertens Res
January 2025
School of Medicine, College of Medicine, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taipei, Taiwan; #155 Section 2, Linong Street, Taipei, 112, Taiwan.
To explore the effects of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on nocturnal changes in blood pressure (BP), we enrolled 2037 participants who underwent polysomnography (PSG) between 2019 and 2020 and examined BP changes before and after sleep. BP was measured in the evening and the following morning using an electronic wrist sphygmomanometer in the supine position. The severity of OSA was determined by PSG and graded based on the apnea/hypopnea index (AHI).

Introduction And Importance: The estimated incidence of congenital dislocation of the knee, also referred to as genu recurvatum, is approximately 1 in 100,000 live births. The purpose of this report is to present a rare case of unilateral congenital knee dislocation, highlighting the clinical presentation and management.
Case Presentation: A 9-day-old female infant was born to a 30-year-old primigravida mother following an uncomplicated term pregnancy of 39 weeks and 4 days.
Empirical Data-Driven Linear Model of a Swimming Robot Using the Complex Delay-Embedding DMD Technique.

Anguilliform locomotion, an efficient aquatic locomotion mode where the whole body is engaged in fluid-body interaction, contains sophisticated physics. We hypothesized that data-driven modeling techniques may extract models or patterns of the swimmers' dynamics without implicitly measuring the hydrodynamic variables. This work proposes empirical kinematic control and data-driven modeling of a soft swimming robot.

Deep and accurate proteome analysis is crucial for understanding cellular processes and disease mechanisms; however, it is challenging to implement in routine settings. In this protocol, we combine a robust chromatographic platform with a high-performance mass spectrometric setup to enable routine yet in-depth proteome coverage for a broad community. This entails tip-based sample preparation and pre-formed gradients (Evosep One) combined with a trapped ion mobility time-of-flight mass spectrometer (timsTOF, Bruker).

Introduction: Soft tissue defect in the lower limb presents as a difficult reconstructive challenge. Cross-leg flap was routinely used in the past for the salvage of the lower limb but is seldom used nowadays due to advances in microsurgical procedures.
Case Presentation: We present a case of an 18-year-old male who presented with a complex soft tissue defect of 25 × 10 cm on the anterolateral aspect of the right leg following a motor vehicle accident.
