Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol
January 2025
Department of Radiology, Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), Rua Dr. Ovidio Pires de Campos, 75, Cerqueira César, São Paulo, SP, 05403-010, Brazil.
Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and short-term (3-month) results of transperineal prostate thermal ablation (TPTA) as a minimally invasive outpatient treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Materials And Methods: A prospective nonrandomized study of 25 patients with lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to BPH seeking care at 2 interventional radiology centers between March and July 2024. TPTA was performed using a 17G radiofrequency needle with a 10-mm active tip under unconscious sedation combined with bilateral perineal and periprostatic nerve blocks.

Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is associated with sleep disturbances. Moreover, individuals with sleep disturbances have been reported to have a higher risk for developing AD. The measurement of sleep behavior therefore opens the opportunity for a potential digital biomarker of AD.

Background: In the face of increasing Mild Cognitive Impairment(MCI) and Dementia rates among aging populations, understanding the factors shaping the non-normal cognitive decline is crucial. Leveraging the Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) data, this study has a dual focus. (1) It utilizes CDR to aid early MCI diagnosis by investigating factors contributing to transition from Questionable- to Low- AD.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a clinical cognitive deficit that is not severe enough to meet the threshold for Alzheimer's Disease (AD); however, MCI patients have an increased risk of developing AD. Therefore, a diagnosis of MCI may represent a critical turning point in the trajectory of developing AD. Establishing neurological signatures of MCI using network control theory (NCT) may allow more informed diagnosis, and an understanding of its underlying mechanisms could pave the way for novel treatments.

Background: Inexpensive, non-invasive tests may improve the identification of persons at increased risk for cognitive decline and dementia. We compared impairment in odor identification and global cognition with neuro-imaging biomarkers to predict cognitive decline and dementia in the population-based Mayo Clinic Study of Aging (MCSA).
Method: At the 2008 assessment, 647 participants who were ≥ 55 years old with at least one follow-up had the following procedures: modified Blessed Information-Memory-Concentration Test (BIMCT), 12-item Brief Smell Identification Test (BSIT), brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) amyloid imaging with 11C-Pittsburgh compound B (11C-PiB).
