Ameloblastomas are benign odontogenic tumors but are locally aggressive, most commonly occurring in the mandible and in the third to fifth decade of life. The male-to-female ratio is approximately equal. Recurrence of ameloblastoma due to inadequate treatment is often described. Recurrences in the temporal area are very rare and are related to the type of primary treatment. The authors describe a case of ameloblastoma recurrence in the temporal area and review the literature regarding recurrence and treatment.

Background: Although cognitive decline is a trait related to aging, some individuals are resilient to the aging process, defined as SuperAgers. Studying the neural underpinnings of SuperAgers may improve the understanding of AD pathology. In this study, our aim was to analyze amyloid and neurodegeneration imaging biomarkers in SuperAgers.

Background: Informal care of older adults impacts the lives of millions worldwide. Critically, low- and middle-income countries have the highest proportion of dementia costs related to informal care. Research suggests that older adults' cognitive decline is associated with burden among caregivers, which corroborates the worsening in caregivers' quality of life and mental health.

Background: Electroencephalography (EEG) is a non-intrusive technique that provides comprehensive insights into the electrical activities of the brain's cerebral cortex. The brain signals obtained from EEGs can be used as a neuropsychological biomarker to detect different stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD) through quantitative EEG (qEEG) analysis. This paper investigates the difference in the abnormalities of resting state EEG (rEEG) signals between eyes-open (EOR) and eyes-closed (ECR) in AD by analyzing 19- scalp electrode EEG signals and making a comparison with healthy controls (HC).

Background: The early detection of neurologic damage at the microscopic level when the disease is subclinical would facilitate intervention preventing progression or potentially reversing the condition. The early determination of drug efficacy could shorten the length of drug studies, thereby reducing research costs. The eye is the only place in the body where an artery, vein, and nerve can be directly visualized The nerve fiber layer of the retina is an outgrowth of the brain.

Background: Changes in speech and language functions have shown to be early symptoms of AD pathology. Recent developments in automatic speech and language processing have opened avenues for objective assessments of these changes. The primary objective of this study is to explore whether speech and language markers extracted from cognitive testing conducted during an automated phone call differ according to underlying AD pathology as measured in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in preclinical or early stage individuals.
