The term 'dyscirculatory encephalopathy' (DEP) was proposed in 1958 by Garun Maksudov and Vladimir Kogan for the definition of gradually progressive diffuse brain changes with slowly worsening of cerebral circulation ('dyscirculation') in vascular disorders. The article presents current data on the etiology and pathogenesis of DEP, with the emphasis on its syndromal status, clinical/pathogenetic types of DEP, neuropsychological and neuroimaging signs, which provide a causal relationship to avoid hyperdiagnosis of DEP. In addition, possible methods of treatment and prevention of DEP are considered.

In the present work, we report the synthesis and evaluation of a graphite-supported bismuth film working electrode (BiFE) in the simultaneous quantification of Hg(II) and Pb(II) at ppb levels. The BiFE was synthesized in-situ by electrodeposition in 1 M HNO as the supporting electrolyte at -0.5 V potential.

Background And Purpose: The prevalence of sequelae following rectal cancer (RC) treatment is high. We investigate the prevalence and temporal change in sexual dysfunction among male RC patient, along with their counselling and treatment needs and associations between sexual dysfunction and clinical factors. Patient/materials and methods: Patient-reported outcome measures were completed 3 and 12 months after RC surgery.

Background: The presented study identified the appropriate ocrelizumab dosing regimen for patients with pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis (POMS).
Methods: Patients with POMS aged 10-17 years were enrolled into cohort 1 (body weight [BW] < 40 kg, ocrelizumab 300 mg) and cohort 2 (BW ≥ 40 kg, ocrelizumab 600 mg) during a 24-week dose-exploration period (DEP), followed by an optional ocrelizumab (given every 24 weeks) extension period.
Primary Endpoints: pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics (CD19 B-cell count); secondary endpoint: safety; exploratory endpoints: MRI activity, protocol-defined relapses, Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score change.

Background: Phthalates, a large group of endocrine disruptors, are ubiquitous in the environment and detrimental to human health. This scoping review aimed to summarize the effects of phthalates on laboratory animals relevant to humans, assess toxicity, and analyze mechanisms of toxicity for public health concerns.
Methods: Articles were retrieved from Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science search engines.

Digestive and psychiatric disorders tend to co-occur, yet mechanisms remain unclear. Leveraging genetic and transcriptomic data integration, we conduct multi-trait analysis of GWAS (MTAG) and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) to explore shared mechanism between psychiatric and gastrointestinal disorders. Significant genetic correlations were found between these disorders, especially in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), depression (DEP), and neuroticism (NE).
