Using longitudinal data from 21 adolescents, we assessed family aggression (via mother, father, and youth report) in early adolescence, externalizing behavior in mid-adolescence, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data in late adolescence. Amygdalae were manually traced, and used as seed regions for resting state analyses. Both family aggression and subsequent externalizing behavior predicted larger right amygdala volumes and stronger amygdala-frontolimbic/salience network connectivity and weaker amygdala-posterior cingulate connectivity. Externalizing behavior in mid-adolescence mediated associations between family aggression in early adolescence and resting state connectivity between the amygdala and the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex, medial prefrontal cortex, orbitofrontal cortex, and posterior cingulate cortex in late adolescence. Family adversity and adolescent behavior problems may share common neural correlates.

Orthodox Jewish patients with terminal illnesses have unique goals and desires, often driven by (Jewish law and ethics) and cultural norms. We conducted a quality improvement project investigating the baseline perceptions and experiences of medical professionals who care for Orthodox Jewish patients with terminal illnesses. The survey included health care professionals who cared for Orthodox Jewish patients as part of Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Oncology, or Palliative Care and Hospice teams.

Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer (ATC) is an aggressive form of cancer with poor prognosis, heavily influenced by its tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). Understanding the cellular and gene expression dynamics within the TIME is crucial for developing targeted therapies. This study analyzes the immune microenvironment of ATC and Papillary Thyroid Cancer (PTC) using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq).

Background: Neuropsychiatric Symptoms (NPS) (e.g., aggression, psychosis, anxiety, apathy, depression, agitation, sleep disturbances, repetitive behaviors) occur in 85% of AD patients, and are associated with accelerated decline, out-of-home placement, increased costs, and greatly increased suffering of patients and families.

Background: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is a validated risk locus for developing late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD). ACE1 controls blood pressure through the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), but it is also present and acts locally in the brain. Hypertension is associated with an increased risk for developing AD, and people taking select RAS-targeting therapeutics have reduced incidence of AD.

Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative proteinopathy in which Aβ can misfold and aggregate into seeds that structurally corrupt native proteins, mimicking a prion-like process. These amyloid aggregation and propagation processes are influenced by three factors: the origin of the Aβ seed, time of incubation and host. However, the mechanism underlying the differential effect of each factor is poorly known.
