This study introduces an innovative bio-based sorbent bead crafted by integrating chitosan (CS) biopolymers, Fe(NO3)3 and polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs) via glutaraldehyde crosslinking. The primary focus of this study was the concurrent separation of diverse tetracycline antibiotics (TCs), followed by rigorous reversed-phase liquid chromatography analysis. The fabricated CS/Fe@PDA sorbent beads were comprehensively characterized using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, revealing a surface rich in active carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and oxygen (O) moieties.

Objectives: Systemic sclerosis (SSc)-interstitial lung disease (ILD) is one of the leading causes of mortality in SSc. Data from randomised controlled trials (RCTs) supports rituximab and tocilizumab monotherapy but there is limited data regarding their use for those who fail standard immunomodulatory therapies.
Methods: SSc patients treated with rituximab or tocilizumab were retrospectively identified in a single centre cohort.

Background: The mesolimbic system plays a crucial role in weight regulation and cognition. Previous studies suggest that the pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) can lead to the atrophy of the mesolimbic system and body mass index (BMI) decline. It remains unknown whether BMI is associated with the the mesolimbic system in AD.

Background: The Clinical Dementia Rating Scale (CDR) is a gold standard metric for staging the nature and severity of global cognitive and functional impairment in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other dementias. Prior evidence from older and/or smaller samples suggests that The Quick Dementia Rating System (QDRS) informant questionnaire provides results comparable to the CDR and can be completed in just 3-5 minutes, sans a trained clinician or rater. This study aimed to: 1) investigate concordance between the QDRS-derived global CDR ("QDRS-global"; Galvin, 2015) and CDR-global scores; 2) examine item-level QDRS/CDR agreement; and (3) evaluate QDRS-global/CDR-global concordant/discordant groups against concurrent Preclinical Alzheimer's Cognitive Composite (PACC3) performance.

Background: Mild behavioral impairment (MBI) is a syndrome that leverages neuropsychiatric symptoms that emerge in later-life, and which persist, to identify individuals at high-risk for incident dementia. Attendant with MBI are changes in quality of life (QoL), which can present concurrent with the onset of cognitive decline or even before. Obtaining information from participants and study partners can provide a broader overview of health and QoL.
