Craniofacial syndromes present with exorbitism and airway obstruction as a result of upper and middle facial hypoplasia. Classical subcranial Lefort III (LF III) or monobloc distraction osteogenesis (DO) using an external craniofacial device is used to treat these deformities. These procedures are done during mixed dentition, in most cases, advancing an abnormal face, to a more normal position.

Background: Stronger default mode (DMN) and bilateral frontoparietal control network (FPCN) resting-state functional connectivity are associated with reduced β-amyloid (Aβ)-related cognitive decline in cognitively unimpaired older adults, who were predominantly Aβ negative. This suggests that these networks might support cognitive resilience in the face of early AD pathology but it remains unclear whether these effects are apparent in preclinical AD. We investigated whether left-FPCN, right-FPCN, and DMN connectivity moderated the effect of Aβ on cognitive decline using a large multi-site dataset from the Anti-Amyloid Treatment in Asymptomatic Alzheimer's Disease (A4) study.

Background: APOE is in linkage disequilibrium with the length of poly-T repeats at the rs10524523 ('523) locus of the TOMM40 gene. APOE-ε3 is associated with short (S) and (VL) variants of '523 in white and Black individuals. In white individuals, APOE-ε4 is associated with the long (L) '523 variant, but is associated with '523-S, '523-L, and '523-VL variants in Black individuals.

Background: Highly specific ATN plasma biomarker assays for neurodegenerative diseases have been developed, but their associations with cognition vary in different populations. Kidney disease, common in diabetes, may decrease the predictive precision of those biomarkers. The aim of this study was to characterize for the first time the relationships between plasma ATN biomarkers and cognitive function in adults with T1D.

Background: A rare reelin gene variant (RELN-COLBOS mutation) delayed dementia onset in almost 30 years in an autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease (ADAD) carrier. This patient presented with high amyloid-β (Aβ) plaque load, but low tau accumulation, suggesting that this single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in RELN conferred a resilience not only to cognitive decline but also to tauopathy in ADAD. However, whether RELN SNPs are also protective in sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD) is yet to be determined.
