Objectives: The objective is to evaluate the efficacy of F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F-FDG-PET) computed tomography (CT) in the evaluation of tumor response to preoperative/palliative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for advanced colorectal cancer; including metastatic cancer at primary presentation and recurrent cancers with local and/or distant metastasis.
Materials And Methods: Fifty patients with advanced rectal cancer underwent two point imaging with 18 FDG PET-CT before and after 3 weeks of completion of preoperative/palliative CRT in between 2016 and 2022. Patients with locally recurrent cancer also underwent radical surgery.

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders. Previous research has confirmed that isofraxidin can reduce macrophage expression and inhibit peripheral inflammation. However, its effects on the central nervous system remain underexplored.

Background: Spectral power of slow rhythms in resting-state EEG increases along Alzheimer's disease (AD) continuum. Besides, recent studies have revealed 1) the importance of analyzing the aperiodic component of an EEG power spectrum and 2) the intrusions of sleep-like slow waves identifiable in wake EEG of animals and young adults. Importantly, the occurrence of these wake slow waves is known i) to increase after sleep deprivation, ii) to be associated with markers of sleepiness, and iii) to predict behavioral errors at different tasks.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, predominantly manifesting as amnestic impairment. However, atypical presentations such as logopenic variant of primary progressive aphasia (lvPPA), posterior cortical atrophy (PCA), corticobasal syndrome (CBS) and frontal AD pose diagnostic challenges. This study presents preliminary data from a retrospective analysis investigating brain functional differences between typical and atypical AD forms.

Background: Vascular pathology associated with small vessel disease (SVD), such as microinfarcts and microbleeds, are common in elderly populations and significant contributors to cognitive impairment and dementia. Autosomal dominant cerebral arteriopathy with subcortical infarctions and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL), caused by mutations in the Notch3 gene, is the most prominent inheritable SVD, with a common etiology of subcortical strokes and dementia. This study aimed to investigate additive or synergistic effects of CADASIL-related vascular alterations and familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD)-related amyloid pathology on cerebral metabolism of glucose and disease progression in a novel FAD-CADASIL mouse model.
