Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurological disorder with an unclear cause, and its amyloid and tau hypotheses need deeper investigation to understand their link to genetic variants and AD outcomes. To bridge this gap, we conduct a mediation analysis using the genotyping, amyloid and tau imaging, and cognitive data from Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) to delineate specific mediation pathways from genetic variants such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), to regional amyloid/tau protein aggregation in the brain, and to cognitive outcomes.
Method: ADNI provides genotyped data and harmonized phenotypes.

Background: The pelvis is one of the most common areas for metastatic bone disease. We recently described the use of a minimally invasive percutaneous screw fixation of metastatic non-periacetabular pelvic lesions, with excellent results.
Description: The procedure can be completed in a standard operating theater without the need for special instruments.

Fluorescence spectroscopy and related techniques benefit from exceptional sensitivity and have become engrained in a variety of fields from biosciences to materials sciences. Measuring time-domain fluorescence decays is nowadays a routine task in many laboratories across these different fields. Perhaps surprisingly, a correct data analysis of these fluorescence decay curves presents a formidable challenge and requires extensive insight in the problems associated with fitting this type of data.

: Multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy (MCSM) presents complex challenges for surgical management, particularly in patients with kyphosis or significant anterior pathology. This study aimed to assess the long-term efficacy of modified expansive open-door laminoplasty (MEOLP) combined with short-level anterior cervical fusion (ACF) in providing decompression, preserving alignment, and maintaining range of motion (ROM) over a nine-year follow-up. : A retrospective analysis was conducted on 124 MCSM patients treated with MEOLP combined with ACF between 2011 and 2015.

Lumbopelvic pain (LBP) is a prevalent condition during pregnancy, affecting a significant proportion of pregnant women. It arises from hormonal, biomechanical, and postural changes, often exacerbating discomfort and impairing quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of targeted motor control interventions focusing on sternal alignment on spinal alignment, pain, and muscle activity in pregnant women at risk of preterm birth.
