Aim: To evaluate the optimal cut-off MoCA score for elderly individuals with MCI.
Design: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Method: Articles were retrieved from PubMed, Ovid, Embase, The Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, CBM, CNKI, WanFang and CQVIP and were assessed by using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 (QUADAS-2). Figures of the assessment were made by using Review Manager 5.3, and a meta-analysis of the data was conducted by using Bivariate Random-effects Meta-Analysis (BRMA) via Stata 14.0.
Results: Seventeen articles were retrieved from the database, and when the cut-offs were 24/25 and 25/26, they represented the same diagnostic value; in addition, the AUC was 0.96, which demonstrated high predictive validity for mild cognitive impairment screening. However, the sensitivity was higher with 25/26 (se=0.95, sp=0.80), whereas the specificity was higher with 24/25 (se=0.92, sp=0.89).

Supercontinuum generation in scintillator crystals.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Laser Research Center, Vilnius University, Saulėtekio Avenue 10, LT-10223, Vilnius, Lithuania.
We present a comparative experimental study of supercontinuum generation in undoped scintillator crystals: bismuth germanate (BGO), yttrium orthosilicate (YSO), lutetium oxyorthosilicate (LSO), lutetium yttrium oxyorthosilicate (LYSO) and gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG), pumped by 180 fs fundamental harmonic pulses of an amplified Yb:KGW laser. In addition to these materials, experiments in yttrium aluminium garnet (YAG), potassium gadolinium tungstate (KGW) and lithium tantalate (LT) were performed under identical experimental settings (focusing geometry and sample thickness), which served for straightforward comparison of supercontinuum generation performances. The threshold and optimal (that produces optimized red-shifted spectral extent) pump pulse energies for supercontinuum generation were evaluated from detailed measurements of spectral broadening dynamics.

Department of Radiology, Qujing No.1 Hospital, Kirin District Garden Road no. 1, Qujing, 655099, China.
Background: Left ventricular (LV) myocardial contraction patterns can be assessed using LV mechanical dispersion (LVMD), a parameter closely associated with electrical activation patterns. Despite its potential clinical significance, limited research has been conducted on LVMD following myocardial infarction (MI). This study aims to evaluate the predictive value of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived LVMD for adverse clinical outcomes and to explore its correlation with myocardial scar heterogeneity.

Objective: This investigation aimed to compare MMP-9 levels and ocular surface parameters in diabetic patients with and without DED.
Racial disparity in preoperative C-reactive protein level for predicting prognosis of patients with non-metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma: INMARC study.

Department of Urology, Dokkyo Medical University Saitama Medical Center, Saitama, Japan.
Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) is a prognostic biomarker for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). However, there may be potential racial heterogeneity in distribution and prognostic impact of CRP level. We investigated potential racial differences in distribution and prognostic impact of preoperative CRP among Asian (AS), African American (AA), and Caucasian (CAUC) patients with non-metastatic ccRCC (nmccRCC).
