The increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus worldwide necessitates that medical undergraduates acquire a deep understanding of the disease to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective management. Traditional teaching methods, while foundational, often lack the interactive elements that enhance student engagement and knowledge retention. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel educational board game, "Diabe-teach," in enhancing knowledge retention among medical students compared with conventional self-study methods.

Statement Of Problem: Comprehensive data are needed on the performance of chemically activated, chairside hard reline materials when used with computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) milled polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) denture bases and conventionally processed bases. This lack of data affects decisions regarding the chairside reline material to be used for improving the fit and retention of relined complete dentures.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate and compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of 3 chemically activated, chairside hard reline materials on CAD-CAM milled and conventional heat-polymerized PMMA denture bases.

Background: Recent advances in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) research have emphasized the importance of recruiting from diverse populations. Notably, African-descent individuals have an almost doubled risk of developing AD compared to European-descent individuals. Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) have advanced the analysis of non-coding variants by integrating gene expression with GWAS data.

Background: Apolipoprotein E4 (E4) is the strongest genetic risk factor for sporadic Alzheimer's Disease (AD), and aging is the greatest overall risk factor for AD. Many cellular and molecular changes occur within the brain throughout aging, one of which being the increased bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) signaling. As APOE and BMPs are known to interact in non-neuronal organs, we hypothesized that enhanced BMP signaling in the brain may interact with APOE in a genotype-dependent manner to initiate or exacerbate neuropathological cascades relevant to AD.

Background: Objective Subtle Cognitive Decline (obj-SCD) can be identified through standardized neuropsychological tests and may precede the development of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Nevertheless, current clinical and research criteria lack a standardized protocol for identifying obj-SCD. This study introduces cutting-edge sensitive methods to characterize obj-SCD, defined through Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarker-based longitudinal cognitive performance in episodic memory.
