Prikrylová et al. (see record 2023-79461-001) contribute a paper to this issue in which they tested two-dimensional individual recognition of familiar subjects in African gray parrots. They not only tested familiar individual recognition per se but also the effect of manipulating individual and combined features in the head and the body of their stimuli. Notably, instead of using discrimination tasks, which have previously been applied in bird studies (e.g., Hauser & Huber-Eicher, 2004; Nakamura et al., 2003; Watanabe & Ito, 1990), they went through great effort applying a matching-to-sample approach. This is particularly important as it allows for testing familiar conspecific recognition on a more conceptual level than a discrimination task. Moreover, it facilitates the comparison with previous work done on primates (e.g., Micheletta et al., 2015; Parr et al., 2000, 2006; Talbot et al., 2016).

Introduction: Aging adults with Down syndrome (DS) accumulate Alzheimer's disease (AD) neuropathology, including amyloid beta plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, by age 40.

Methods: We present findings from an individual with DS who remained cognitively stable despite AD neuropathology. Clinical assessments, fluid biomarkers, neuroimaging, and neuropathological examinations were conducted to characterize her condition.

Establishing the anterior-posterior body axis is a fundamental process during embryogenesis, and the fruit fly, , provides one of the best-known case studies of this process. In Drosophila, localized mRNA of serves as anterior determinant (AD). Bicoid engages in a concentration-dependent competition with nucleosomes and initiates symmetry-breaking along the AP axis by promoting chromatin accessibility at the loci of transcription factor (TF) genes that are expressed in the anterior of the embryo.

Highly sensitized (HS) patients in need of kidney transplantation (KTx) typically spend a longer time waiting for compatible kidneys, are unlikely to receive an organ offer, and are at increased risk of antibody-mediated rejection (AMR). Desensitization using imlifidase, which is more rapid and removes total body immunoglobulin G (IgG) to a greater extent than other methods, enables transplantation to occur between HLA-incompatible (HLAi) donor-recipient pairs and allows patients to have greater access to KTx. However, when the project was launched there was limited data and clinical experience with desensitization in general and with imlifidase specifically.

Background: Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) represents one of the rarer forms of plasma cell malignancies, capable of impacting a variety of tissues and organs throughout the body. The majority of EMP cases are predominantly found in the head and neck region, especially within the laryngopharynx, as well as in the gastrointestinal tract. While there have been documented instances of oropharyngeal involvement in EMP cases in the academic literature, it is important to note that EMP specifically affecting the uvula is exceedingly uncommon.

Pancreatic carcinoma has remained one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Cancer originating in the head of pancreas is often detected early in the disease due to biliary obstruction resulting in jaundice. In contrast, cancer of the pancreatic body and tail remains indolent, presenting late with significantly increased tumor burden and distant metastasis.
