Purpose Of Review: Patients with an immunodeficiency may present to their Rhinologist with a history of recurrent, severe, and chronic infections. Therefore, it is essential for the Rhinologist to have a basic understanding of clinically relevant immune deficiencies.
Recent Findings: After describing different types of immunodeficiencies, their presentations, and management strategies, an evaluation algorithm is described.
Summary: Through a collaborative approach, Rhinologists and Clinical Immunologists can provide comprehensive medical care to patients with immunodeficiencies.

Small animal phobia (SAP) is a subtype of specific phobia characterized by an intense and irrational fear of small animals, which has been underexplored in the neuroscientific literature. Previous studies often faced limitations, such as small sample sizes, focusing on only one neuroimaging modality, and reliance on univariate analyses, which produced inconsistent findings. This study was designed to overcome these issues by using for the first time advanced multivariate machine-learning techniques to identify the neural mechanisms underlying SAP.

Background And Objective: Non-motor symptoms frequently develop throughout the disease course of Parkinson's disease (PD), and pose affected individuals at risk of complications, more rapid disease progression and poorer quality of life. Addressing such symptom burden, the 2023 revised "Parkinson's disease" guideline of the German Society of Neurology aimed at providing evidence-based recommendations for managing PD non-motor symptoms, including autonomic failure, pain and sleep disturbances.
Methods: Key PICO (Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) questions were formulated by the steering committee and refined by the assigned authors.

Purpose: Provision of nutrition information is mandated for packaged foods, but few countries regulate serving sizes. Our objective was to develop a methodology to establish globally consistent portion size recommendations for both nutrient-dense and discretionary foods.
Methods: A stepwise systematic approach incorporated portion values from serving size regulations (n = 10), food-based dietary guidelines (FBDG; n = 90, aggregated into 6 regions), and reported food intakes from Europe and Australia.

Background: The prion model of tau propagation in Alzheimer's Disease predicts that tau seeds are released from cells and taken up by neighboring cells, resulting in spreading of the disease. Our previous work revealed that tau aggregates bind to heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) on the cell surface, followed by cellular uptake via macropinocytosis. HSPGs are glycoproteins, consisting of a protein core and decorated with linear glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains called heparan sulfate (HS) with highly variable sulfation patterns.
