A 35-year-old woman with thyroid eye disease (TED) was found to have autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type II (APS-II) 1 year after developing symptoms of this rare syndrome, during which she underwent 8 emergency department visits before receiving a targeted endocrinology workup. Thyroid disease is the second most common autoimmune syndrome associated with APS-II after primary adrenal insufficiency. Identification of this syndrome is critical as it can be life-threatening if left untreated.

Article Synopsis
- Driving involves complex coordination that deteriorates with age, affecting cognitive and motor functions.
- A study compared blink behavior and neural responses in younger and older adults during reactive and proactive driving tasks, revealing that younger participants had shorter blink durations and more efficient neural processing.
- Functional connectivity analysis indicated that younger adults exhibit stronger network integration in various brain areas, while older adults showed signs of compensatory mechanisms in attention networks, suggesting adaptability in response to cognitive demands.

Due to its documented records and technological achievements, in vitro embryo creation technology is still honored worldwide forty years after Louise Brown's birth on July 25, 1978. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that one in six people globally who are of reproductive age may have infertility at some point in their lives. In this environment, it has become noteworthy for couples or patients to want to become pregnant through operations carried out by Assisted Human Reproduction Centers (AHRCs).

This study proposed a robust lane-keeping algorithm designed for snowy road conditions, utilizing a snow tire track detection model based on machine learning. The proposed algorithm is structured into two primary modules: a snow tire track detector and a lane center estimator. The snow tire track detector utilizes YOLOv5, trained on custom datasets generated from public videos captured on snowy roads.

Background: Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is an established prodrome and symptom of synucleinopathies. The pathophysiology of this disorder has been well studied but there is a lack of functional imaging data to illustrate the dysfunction in vivo.
Objectives: We aimed to investigate the functional changes of RBD, by performing ictal REM sleep SPECT, comparing subjects with Parkinson's Disease (PD) and evidence of RBD to subjects with PD and no RBD.
