Background: Usually, patients with hand, wrist/forearm disorders report musculoskeletal complaints in the shoulder. Although, role of scapula is fundamental for movement and functional stability across the upper limb kinetic chain; however, there are no systematic reviews and meta-analyses that have analyzed the effect of scapular exercises in these patients.
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of a scapular exercise program on functional outcomes in patients with hand, wrist or elbow disorders.

It has been demonstrated that humans exhibit an attention bias towards the lower visual field (e.g., faster target detection for targets appearing below eye level).

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other dementia risk may be influenced by the immune function and associated with several white blood cell type counts. In cognitively normal Black, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic white older adults we related three white blood cell types previously associated with AD risk to tau positron emission tomography (PET) values in the medial temporal lobe (MTL), where tau accumulates early. We assessed whether amyloid positivity moderated this relationship.

Background: Positron emission tomography (PET) tau tracer PI-2620 frequently shows off-target meningeal binding (Figure 1). Of standard regions of interest, only lateral parietal (LP) is contaminated by this. We compare the standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) in the LP before and after eroding the LP mask to remove meningeal contamination.

Background: High-level median or ulnar nerve injuries and repairs typically result in suboptimal re-innervation of distal muscles. Functioning Free Muscle Transplantation (FFMT) is increasingly recognized as an effective method to restore function in chronic muscle denervation cases. This study investigates the efficacy of using an additional FFMT, neurotized by lateral sprouting axons from a repaired high-level mixed nerve in the upper limb, to enhance distal hand function.
