Objectives: To discuss the increasing visibility of non-binary individuals and inclusive policies and practices in assisted reproductive technologies (ART).
Methods: Comparison between traditional ART approach designed for binary genders and propose approach in non-binary individuals.
Results: Traditional ART services, designed for binary genders, must adapt to address the unique fertility needs of non-binary patients. This includes using gender-neutral language, providing comprehensive fertility assessments, and offering hormone therapy and fertility preservation options. Children of non-binary parents benefit from open communication about gender diversity, enhancing psychological well-being. Positive societal attitudes and inclusive environments in schools are crucial for preventing discrimination and promoting mental health. A systemic approach is required to make ART inclusive. This involves training staff, adjusting facilities, updating documentation, and advocating for supportive legislation. Addressing the reproductive needs of non-binary individuals ensures equitable access to care and supports their family-building goals.
Conclusions: Ensuring the well-being of children in non-binary families requires psychological support, inclusive healthcare, legal recognition, social support, and comprehensive education.

Background: Plasma tau phosphorylated at Thr217 (p-tau217) has demonstrated excellent performance in identifying individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) in both research and memory clinic settings. Nonetheless, implementing plasma p-tau217 into clinical practice remains a challenge requiring careful clinical judgement and conservative interpretation near the cutpoint. The present study proposes a strategy that utilizes Bayes theorem in considering the clinical context, individualized (ie.
