Alzheimers Dement (N Y)

Unlabelled: Despite some skepticism regarding the amyloid hypothesis, there is growing evidence that clearing amyloid by targeting specific species of amyloid (plaque, oligomers, fibrils, and protofibrils) for removal has therapeutic benefits. Specifically, there is growing evidence that, in mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia due to Alzheimer's disease (AD), robust and aggressive removal of amyloid can slow cognitive decline as measured by global instruments, composite measures, and cognitive testing. Furthermore, clinical efficacy signals coupled with clear biomarker changes provide the first evidence of disease modification.

Objective: To report clinical outcomes of skeletally immature dogs with antebrachial deformities secondary to premature closure of the distal radial physis (PCDRP) treated with angular corrections and distraction osteogenesis using circular external skeletal fixation (CESF).
Study Design: Retrospective multi-institutional case series.
Animals: A total of 12 client-owned dogs with premature distal radial physeal closure.

Introduction: In order to elucidate the physiological mechanism of post-flowering assimilate transport regulating the formation of yields in arid regions and to provide technological support for further water-saving and high yields in the wheat region in Xinjiang, we conducted a study on the effects of different fertility periods and different degrees of drought and re-watering on the post-flowering dry matter accumulation and transport of spring wheat and the characteristics of grain filling.
Methods: In two spring wheat growing seasons in 2023 and 2024, a split-zone design was used, with the drought-sensitive variety Xinchun 22 (XC22) and drought-tolerant variety Xinchun 6 (XC6) as the main zones and a fully irrigated control during the reproductive period [CK, 75%~80% field capacity (FC)], with mild drought at the tillering stage (T1, 60%~65% FC), moderate drought at the tillering stage (T2, 45%~50% FC), mild drought at the jointing stage (J1, 60%~65% FC), and mild drought at the jointing stage (J2, 45%~50% FC) as the sub-zones.
Results: The dry matter accumulation of the aboveground parts of wheat (stem sheaths, leaves, and spikes), the transfer rate and contribution rate of nutrient organs, the maximum filling rate (V), and the mean filling rate (V) increased significantly after re-watering in the T1 treatment, and decreased with the deepening of the degree of water stress.

Scientific reports from various areas of the world indicate the potential role of tocopherols (vitamin E) in particular α-tocopherol in the prevention and therapy of Alzheimer's disease. The current phenomenon is related to the growing global awareness of eating habits and is also determined by the need to develop the prevention, management and therapy of Alzheimer's disease. This article is a review of current research on the action of the active form of vitamin E-α-tocopherol and its impact on the development and course of Alzheimer's disease.

Approximately 8% of older prisoners in England and Wales have suspected dementia or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and experience difficulties in everyday functioning, and disruption to their daily life. At present, no specific dementia/MCI care pathway has been implemented that is applicable and appropriate for use across different prisons in England and Wales.
