Objective: Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is associated with increased risks for progressing to Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study aimed to investigate phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) in individuals with SCD and healthy controls (HCs) in the baseline year and determined the predictability of cognitive changes in the clinical follow-up.

Methods: Resting-state magnetoencephalographic signals in 29 HCs and 23 SCD subjects were recorded in the baseline year. The parahippocampal gyrus, posterior cingulate cortex and precuneus were selected as regions of interest (ROIs). Based on the grand-averaged comodulograms, delta-beta, delta-gamma and theta-gamma PAC values were extracted from each ROI.

Results: Compared with the HCs, the SCD group showed decreased theta-gamma PAC in the precuneus. Theta-gamma PAC of the left precuneus was associated with SCD severity and performance of immediate recall in the baseline year. The SCD group was followed for 3 years and divided into SCD-Stable and SCD-Decline groups based on scores of Mini-Mental State Examination. No significant differences in PAC of the baseline year were found between SCD-Stable and SCD-Decline groups.

Conclusions: The SCD group demonstrated reduced theta-gamma PAC in the precuneus.

Significance: Subjective perception of cognitive decline is reflected by objective alterations of brain function.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of physical multimorbidity on the trajectory of cognitive decline over 17 years and whether vary across wealth status. The study was conducted in 9035 respondents aged 50+ at baseline from nine waves (2002-2019) of the English Longitudinal Study of Aging. A latent class analysis was used to identify patterns of physical multimorbidity, and mixed multilevel models were performed to determine the association between physical multimorbidity and trajectories of cognitive decline.

High anion gap metabolic acidosis (HAGMA) is a common biochemical abnormality in hospitalized patients, often linked to conditions such as lactic acidosis, renal failure, or drug toxicity. A rare etiology, 5-oxoprolinuria, resulting from acetaminophen use, malnutrition, and sepsis, is increasingly recognized in critically ill patients. We report a 29-year-old male with a history of intellectual disability and normal baseline kidney function who was admitted with acute necrotizing pancreatitis and developed severe metabolic acidosis and acute kidney injury (AKI).

Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between preoperative whole-joint imaging evaluation of the knee with patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures after cartilage restoration surgery (mosaicplasty, osteochondral allograft transplantation, matrix autologous chondrocyte implantation).

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated patients who underwent knee articular cartilage restoration at our institution from 2014 to 2020. The patients' knee magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was evaluated with the Whole-Organ Magnetic Resonance Imaging Score (WORMS) and semiquantitative synovial inflammation imaging biomarkers of the preoperative MRI.

Background: Early establishment of energy balance related behaviors (EBRBs) may be effective in combating unhealthy lifestyle in preschoolers. Parents are responsible for cultivating preschoolers' EBRBs directly through parenting practices. Although investigating the impact of various parenting practices on preschoolers' EBRBs is crucial to determine which practices should be recommended to parents to help reverse childhood unhealthy lifestyle, it is important to assess whether these effects of parenting practices on preschoolers' EBRBs would be similar across different groups of preschoolers, necessitating research into the moderating effects of demographic characteristics.

Background: Sleep disturbances are a major public health concern in the United States, leading to adverse health outcomes. In the working population, job strain has been identified as an important risk factor for sleep disturbances, but evidence from the United States remained limited. This study aimed to examine longitudinal associations between job strain and sleep disturbances in the United States, with a focus on the alternative formulations of job strain.
