Despite awake tracheal intubation being considered the safest method of intubation for patients with predicted difficult airways, there is limited evidence and poor availability of training interventions to assist emergency medicine physicians achieve competency in this technique. Here, we describe a novel, cadaver-based course for emergency medicine physicians to acquire skills in awake tracheal intubation. A convenience sample of 15 emergency medicine physicians from across Canada participated in the pilot course.

The process of developing new drugs is arduous and costly, particularly for targets classified as "difficult-to-drug." Macrocycles show a particular ability to modulate difficult-to-drug targets, including protein-protein interactions, while still allowing oral administration. However, the determination of membrane permeability, critical for reaching intracellular targets and for oral bioavailability, is laborious and expensive.

Background: Mediterranean diets may reduce Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk and preserve cognitive function relative to Western diets by protecting against inflammation. In a long term controlled randomized trial of Mediterranean vs. Western diet consumption in cynomolgus macaques (Macaca fascicularis), difficult to conduct in humans, we found significant anti-inflammatory effects of Mediterranean diet on circulating monocyte and brain temporal cortex transcriptional profiles.

Background: AD prevention and early interventions require tools for evaluation of people during aging for diagnosis and prognosis of AD conversion. Since AD is a complicated continuum of neurodegenerative processes, developing of such tools have been difficult because it needs longitudinal and multimodal data which are often complicated and incomplete. To address this challenge, we are developing AI4AD framework using ADNI data.

Two broad classes of mechanisms have emerged for understanding the Amyloid-Related Imaging Abnormalities (ARIA) associated with anti-beta-amyloid immunotherapy. One set of mechanisms proposes that ARIA is driven by large-scale transfer of antibody-bound amyloid from brain parenchyma to the perivascular and vascular compartments. This class of mechanisms is indirectly supported by neuropathological evidence that immunotherapy substantially clears plaque amyloid while increasing vessel-associated amyloid, but has been difficult to directly demonstrate.
