Background: Bilateral risk-reducing mastectomies (RRMs) have been proven to decrease the risk of breast cancer in patients at high risk owing to family history or having pathogenic genetic mutations. However, few resources with consolidated data have detailed the patient experience following surgery. This systematic review features patient-reported outcomes for patients with no breast cancer history in the year after their bilateral RRM.

Background: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) improve prognosis in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Nilotinib and ponatinib, second- and third-generation TKIs, respectively, have been reported to cause adverse vascular occlusive events such as myocardial infarction and peripheral arterial disease. However, little is known about the risk of cerebral infarction associated with severe cerebrovascular stenosis, which is a late complication of TKIs.

Background: Individuals with early stages of cognitive decline face a significant stagnation in their financial capacity, leading to a decrease in quality of life. However, whether changes in brain function are associated with financial capacity remains unclear. Here, we evaluate the association between financial capacity and brain glucose metabolism.

Background: The brainstem locus coeruleus (LC) is among the first sites of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology, accruing hyperphosphorylated tau as early as in young adulthood. Animal studies indicate that the LC is crucially involved in sleep-wake regulation, a recently established factor contributing to AD-related pathophysiological processes. However, the associations between LC integrity and sleep-wake phenotypes in the context of AD pathology remain poorly characterized in humans.
