Objective: To compare the utility of the Mild Behavioral Impairment-Checklist (MBI-C) and Neuropsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire (NPI-Q) to capture NPS in subjective cognitive decline (SCD), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and dementia.
Methods: In this cross-sectional memory clinic study, linear regression models compared MBI-C (n = 474) and NPI-Q (n = 1040) scores in relation to Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score.
Results: MBI prevalence was 37% in subjective cognitive decline, 54% in mild cognitive impairment, and 62% in dementia. Worse diagnostic status was associated with higher MBI-C and NPI-Q score ( < .001), lower MoCA ( < .001), and greater age ( < .001). Higher MBI-C (β -.09; 95% CI -.13, -.05) and NPI-Q (β -.17; 95% CI -.23, -.10) scores were associated with lower MoCA scores, with psychosis most strongly associated (β -1.11; 95% CI -1.56, -.65 vs β -1.14; 95% CI -1.55, -.73).
Conclusions: The MBI-C captures global and domain-specific NPS across cognitive stages. Both the MBI-C and NPI-Q have utility in characterizing NPS.

The heart employs a specialized ribosome in its muscle cells to translate genetic information into proteins, a fundamental adaptation with an elusive physiological role. Its significance is underscored by the discovery of neonatal patients suffering from often fatal heart failure caused by rare compound heterozygous variants in RPL3L, a muscle-specific ribosomal protein that replaces the ubiquitous RPL3 in cardiac ribosomes. -linked heart failure represents the only known human disease arising from mutations in tissue-specific ribosomes, yet the underlying pathogenetic mechanisms remain poorly understood despite an increasing number of reported cases.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate optical coherence tomography (OCT) characteristics in hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) retinopathy and their correlation with visual acuity among Taiwanese patients.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively recruited patients undergoing long-term HCQ treatment who had received examinations of best-corrected visual acuity and OCT scans. We observed disruptions in the ellipsoid zone (EZ) and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) across different retinal regions.

Objectives: Head and neck malignancies (HNMs) encompass a variety of cancers that affect the oral and para-oral tissues, the most common of which are squamous cell carcinomas. Radiotherapy is commonly used to treat these cancers, often involving radiation exposure to the salivary glands. This study aims to investigate the early impacts of radiotherapy on the internal microstructure of the salivary gland cells and identify which gland exhibits the highest level of radiosensitivity.

Class III malocclusion remains the most challenging occlusal problem to treat due to the complexity of the interrelationships of the underlying skeletal and dental structures. Camouflage orthodontic treatment is a preferred alternative method used to manage mild to moderate Class III malocclusion in nongrowing patients. The aim of this article was to demonstrate a camouflage orthodontic treatment of a 22-year-old female patient diagnosed as having a severe skeletal Class III malocclusion characterized by a straight facial profile, reverse overjet, crowded maxillary incisors, retrognathic maxilla, prognathic mandible, and a hypodivergent facial pattern.

Hyperphosphorylated tau accumulation is seen in the noradrenergic locus coeruleus from the earliest stages of Alzheimer's disease onwards and has been associated with symptoms of agitation. It is hypothesized that compensatory locus coeruleus-noradrenaline system overactivity and impaired emotion regulation could underlie agitation propensity, but to our knowledge this has not previously been investigated. A better understanding of the neurobiological underpinnings of agitation would help the development of targeted prevention and treatment strategies.
