University College London, London, United Kingdom.
Background: Our authors from around the world met to summarise the available knowledge, decide which potentially modifiable risk factors for dementia have compelling evidence and create the most comprehensive analysis to date for potentially modifiable risk factors to inform policy, give individuals the opportunity to control their risks and generate research.
Method: We incorporated all risk factors for which we judged there was strong enough evidence. We used the largest recent worldwide meta-analyses for risk factor prevalence and relative risk and if not available the best data.

Background: Socioeconomic disparities (SED) influence brain health and dementia. Latin America (LA) is characterized by high SED and a disproportionate prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal lobe degeneration (FTLD) compared to high-income populations like the United States (US). However, the impact of SED on brain reserve across neurocognitive pathways related to aging and dementia in LA remains unknown.

Background And Objective: Septoplasty and turbinate reduction surgery (STR) is hypothesized to affect pulmonary function by modifying airway dynamics. This study investigates the impact of STR-mediated improvements in nasal patency on pulmonary function tests (PFTs).
Methods: In a prospective analysis, 37 adult patients undergoing STR were enrolled.
