Lysosomal storage disorders characterized by defective heparan sulfate (HS) degradation, such as Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIA-D (MPS-IIIA-D), result in neurodegeneration and dementia in children. However, dementia is preceded by severe autistic-like behaviours (ALBs), presenting as hyperactivity, stereotypies, social interaction deficits, and sleep disturbances. The absence of experimental studies on ALBs' mechanisms in MPS-III has led clinicians to adopt symptomatic treatments, such as antipsychotics, which are used for non-genetic neuropsychiatric disorders.

Pediatric patients with moyamoya disease frequently show rapid progression with a high risk of stroke. Indirect revascularization is widely accepted as a surgical treatment for pediatric moyamoya disease, but it does not augment cerebral blood flow immediately, which leaves patients at risk for stroke peri-operatively. This delay in flow augmentation may make adding direct bypass the better option.

Cognitive impairment refers to the impairment of higher brain functions such as perception, thinking or memory that affects the individual's ability to perform daily or social activities. Studies have found that changes in neuronal activity during tasks in patients with cognitive impairment are closely related to changes in cerebral cortical hemodynamics. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy is an indirect method to measure neural activity based on changes in blood oxygen concentration in the cerebral cortex.

January 2025

Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Ewha Womans University, Seoul 03760, Republic of Korea. Electronic address:

Background: Despite numerous meta-analyses comparing the efficacy and safety of immunotherapy-based combination therapies, the optimal therapeutic combinations remain unclear. This study aims to evaluate the optimal application of all immunotherapy-based combination therapy for advanced/metastatic renal cell carcinoma, focusing on efficacy and safety.

Methods: We systemically searched the Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and PubMed for studies regarding the first-line immunotherapy-based combination therapy in patients with advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma until April 15, 2024.

Free mobility across group boundaries promotes intergroup cooperation.

Commun Psychol

January 2025

Department of Psychology, Social and Economic Psychology, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland.

Group cooperation is a cornerstone of human society, enabling achievements that surpass individual capabilities. However, groups also define and restrict who benefits from cooperative actions and who does not, raising the question of how to foster cooperation across group boundaries. This study investigates the impact of voluntary mobility across group boundaries on intergroup cooperation.
