Article Abstract
Background: SOMI (Stages of Objective Memory Impairment) is a novel classification that identifies six stages of memory decline in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) using the Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test (FCSRT). However, the relationship between SOMI stages and brain metabolism remains unexplored. This study aims to investigate the metabolic correlates of SOMI stages using FDG-PET in Mild Cognitive Impairment due to AD (MCI-AD) and early AD patients.
Methods: One hundred twenty-nine-patients (99 aMCI-AD and 30 AD), and 42 healthy controls (HCs) (MMSE = 29.2 ± .8; age:69.1 ± 8.6 years; education:10.7 ± 3.8 years) who underwent an extensive neuropsychological battery including FCSRT and brain FDG-PET were enrolled. According to their clinical relevance and available sample sizes, SOMI-4 (N = 24 subjects; MMSE score:26.6 ± 2.6: age:75.4 ± 3.2; education:9.9 ± 4.5) and SOMI-5 groups (N = 97; MMSE:25.3 ± 2.6; age:73.9 ± 5.8; education:9.4 ± 4.1) were investigated.
Results: Compared to HCs, SOMI-4 showed hypometabolism in the precuneus, medial temporal gyrus bilaterally, right pecuneus and angular gyrus. SOMI-5 exhibited broader hypometabolism, extending to the left posterior cingulate and medial frontal gyrus bilaterally. The conjunction analysis revealed overlapping areas in the precuneus, medial temporal gyrus bilaterally, and in the right angular gyrus and cuneus. The disjunction analysis identified SOMI-5 specific hypometabolism encompassing left inferior temporal gyrus, uncus and parahippocampal gyrus, and medial frontal gyrus bilaterally (p < .001, p-value (FWE) < .05).
Discussion: SOMI-4 relates to posterior hypometabolism, while SOMI-5 to more extensive hypometabolism further encompassing frontal cortices, suggesting SOMI as a biologically relevant classification system of memory decline.
Conclusion: Memory decline staged with SOMI is associated with hypometabolism spreading in amnesic MCI-AD/AD, suggesting its usefulness as a clinical marker of increasing neurodegeneration.

Background: Multiple primary cancers (MPC) present many coding difficulties, while a distinction should be made between new cases and those with metastasis and/or extension and recurrence of the primary ones. We aimed to reflect on the experiences and results of data quality control of the East Azerbaijan/Iran Population-Based Cancer Registry and present our suggested rules for reporting, recording and registering multiple primary cancer.
Methods: Comparability, validity, timeliness, and completeness of data assessment were performed.

Background And Objectives: Increasing evidence indicates that a subset of cognitively normal individuals has subtle cognitive impairment at baseline. We sought to identify them using the Stages of Objective Memory Impairment (SOMI) system. Symptomatic cognitive impairment was operationalized by a Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) ≥0.

Objective: To investigate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and neuroimaging correlates of Stages of Objective Memory Impairment (SOMI) based on Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test (FCSRT) performance, and to evaluate the effect of APOE ε4 status on this relationship.
Methods: Data from 586 cognitively unimpaired individuals who had FCSRT, CSF, and volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measures available was used. We compared CSF measures of β-amyloid (Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio), phosphorylated tau (p-Tau181), total tau (t-Tau), hippocampal volume, and PIB-PET mean cortical binding potential with partial volume correction (MCBP) among SOMI groups in the whole sample and in subsamples stratified by APOE ε4 status.
