Background: Individual polymer implants are widespread for bone reconstruction after decompressive craniectomy. Despite the availability of customized titanium products, various specialists and hospitals prefer polymer implants.
Objective: To compare the methods of modeling and manufacturing the polymethylmethacrylate implants and identify the features affecting the quality of reconstruction.
Material And Methods: We analyzed 14 patients with extensive skull defects after installation of polymethyl methacrylate implants. Software used for modeling of individual implants by different specialists was compared.
Results: Satisfactory reconstruction result was obtained in all cases. There were no infectious complications. The authors outlined certain important aspects for modeling of individual polymer products: local use of anatomical thickness of the implant, leaving safe spaces, prevention of temporal retraction, template-based resection before reconstruction.
Conclusion: To date, skull defect closure with polymeric materials remains relevant, and even has certain advantages over customized titanium products.

Late-stage changes in the composition of cell walls of maize plants expressing an apoplast targeted, senescence enhanced fungal ferulic acid esterase, and the subsequent effects on tissue saccharification.

Article Synopsis
- The study explored the effects of a specific enzyme (FAEA) expressed in maize that targets the apoplast, focusing on its activity during the late stages of plant senescence and after storing the plant material.
- FAEA levels increased until the reproductive (R) stage but dropped during full leaf senescence (R+), while the enzyme remained stable even after six months of cold storage.
- The research found that FAEA expression led to decreased cell wall components like ferulates and improved the breakdown (saccharification) of plant material by enzymes, making it easier to extract sugars at later development stages.

The negative impact of repeated-mild traumatic brain injury (rmTBI) is profoundly seen in circadian-disrupted individuals. The unrelenting inflammation, glial activation, and gut dysbiosis are key neuropathological aberrations in the aftermath of rmTBI. In this study, we examined the impact of chitosan lactate (CL) on circadian disturbance (CD) + rmTBI-generated neurological dysfunctions and its prebiotic response on the gut-brain axis.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) frequently coexists with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is common in the aging population, yet the underlying mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Both long-term blood pressure variability (BPV) and plasma neurofilament light (PNFL) were identified as potential biomarkers for AD and CSVD. This study aims to understand the mechanisms of comorbidity between AD and CSVD by investigating the associations among BPV, PNFL, and comorbidity.

For the first time, a TiCT-MXene and poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly (styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS) composite-modified electrode has been developed for electrochemical detection of the bilirubin (BR) by molecularly imprinted ortho-phenylenediamine (o-PD). BR is a biomarker for liver-related diseases. High levels of BR imply liver dysfunction; hence, its exact and rapid measurement is indispensable to its immediate diagnosis and treatment.

Background: A significant proportion of individuals preserve cognitive function despite meeting neuropathological criteria for Alzheimer's disease (AD) at autopsy, known as cognitive resilience. We aimed to define the molecular and cellular signatures of cognitive resilience against AD.
Method: We integrated multi-modal data from the Religious Order Study and Memory and Aging Project (ROSMAP), including bulk (n = 631) and multi-regional single nucleus (n = 48) RNA sequencing.
