Lupus miliaris disseminates faciei (LMDF) is a rare inflammatory dermatosis characterized by an asymptomatic papular eruption in the central face, of which the etiology and pathogenesis are not clear. There is a lack of standard treatment recommendations, especially for severe cases. Here we report a new case of successful treatment of severe LMDF by the combination therapy of oral isotretinoin and methylprednisolone.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia worldwide. It is characterized by dysfunction in the U1 small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) complex, which may precede TAU aggregation, enhancing premature polyadenylation, spliceosome dysfunction, and causing cell cycle reentry and death. Thus, we evaluated the effects of a synthetic single-stranded cDNA, called APT20TTMG, in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) derived neurons from healthy and AD donors and in the Senescence Accelerated Mouse-Prone 8 (SAMP8) model.

Background: The DL-3-n-butylphthalide (NBP), a multi-target neuroprotective drug, improving cognitive impairment in patient with vascular cognitive impairment has been confirmed. The efficacy of NBP in patients with cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NBP in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to AD though a clinical randomized controlled trail.

Background: The ability to monitor cognitive trajectories over the course of trials can provide valuable insights into treatment efficacy. However, existing trial methods are limited in monitoring cognition in real-time and at high frequencies. Gameplay-based assessments hold promise as complementary cognitive tools.

Background: In preparation for therapeutic trails involving patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI), there is a need for valid, disease-specific caregiver-reported outcome (CRO) measures capable of tracking symptomatic burden in response to therapy over time. CROs are useful tools in clinical trials for individuals with AD, MCI, and dementia who are unable to self-report. In addition, CROs are accepted by the United States Food and Drug Administration to support regulatory claims.

Administration of antiseizure medicines (ASMs) to AD patients with epileptiform activity may improve cognition (Vossel et al.
