Reading comprehension deficits are common for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) but there are few studies that have examined specific strategies for teaching reading comprehension to this population. The current study investigated the effect of embedding the restricted interests (RI) of two high school students with ASD in text on reading comprehension performance using a single-subject, multi-element research design. Neither participant showed an increase in the number of relevant words shared during oral retell and only one participant showed an increase in the percent of correctly answered reading comprehension questions. Embedding the RI in text more frequently did not impact reading comprehension performance. The results indicate there are potential variables that may limit the effect of embedding the RI of students with ASD in text on reading comprehension.

Background: The field of single cell technologies has rapidly advanced our comprehension of the human immune system, offering unprecedented insights into cellular heterogeneity and immune function. While cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples enable deep characterization of immune cells, challenges in clinical isolation and preservation limit their application in underserved communities with limited access to research facilities. We present CryoSCAPE (Cryopreservation for Scalable Cellular And Proteomic Exploration), a scalable method for immune studies of human PBMC with multi-omic single cell assays using direct cryopreservation of whole blood.

Environmental pollutants including ultrafine particulate matter (UFPs) and adverse meteorological conditions pose significant public health impacts, particularly affecting respiratory health. This study aims to elucidate the synergistic effects of cold-humid conditions and UFPs exposure on respiratory health, utilizing Carbon Black Nanoparticles (CB-NPs) as surrogates for UFPs. Through comprehensive lung function tests, histopathological examinations, and biomarker analyses, this research focuses on the modulation of oxidative stress signaling pathways and NF-κB activation.

Background: The National Institutes of Health Toolbox for Assessment of Neurological and Behavioral Function (NIHTB) was developed to address the need for a brief yet comprehensive instrument to facilitate more uniform assessment in large-scale research studies. Here, we investigated whether the cognitive measures of the NIHTB detect cognitive decline in biomarker-confirmed Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Method: We used data from N = 178 participants (age 76.

Background: Recent international work suggests that more precise subtyping within frontotemporal dementia (FTD) syndromes leads to better prediction of pathology, supporting individualized disease-specific treatments. Recent studies emphasize that identification of one such subtype, semantic behavioral variant FTD (sbvFTD), relies in part on measuring emotion recognition abilities.
Method: In order to evaluate the effectiveness of current tools, we compared the brief video-based Dynamic Affect Recognition Test (DART) against the TASIT Emotion Evaluation (EET) and Comprehensive Affect Testing System Affect Matching tests.

Background: Social cognition is crucial to optimal social functioning outcomes in older adults, with implications for overall health and wellbeing. Moreover, poor social cognition is a diagnostic criterion for neurocognitive disorders (NCDs). Prior work has studied the social cognitive subdomains (theory of mind (ToM), affective empathy, emotion recognition, and social behaviour) and found mild cognitive impairment and dementia to be associated with poorer performance in specific tasks and informant-reported changes respectively.
