Background: Recruiting large numbers of study participants for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) drug trials remains a significant challenge in need of more effective approaches. Advertising can be an effective way to reach large numbers of prospective participants, but can suffer from low attendance rates. This study examined the relationship between the initial behaviors of prospective AD trial participants who did not attend their first scheduled appointment and their overall likelihood of eventually attending an in-person consultation.

The purpose of this study was to produce metabolite-specific T and concentration maps in a clinically compatible time frame. A multi-TE 2D MR spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) experiment (multi-echo single-shot MRSI [MESS-MRSI]) deployed truncated and partially sampled multi-echo trains from single scans and was combined with simultaneous multiparametric model fitting. It was tested in vivo for the brain in five healthy subjects.

Luminescent materials doped with rare-earth (RE) ions have emerged as powerful tools in thermometry, offering high sensitivity and accuracy. However, challenges remain, particularly in maintaining efficient luminescence at elevated temperatures. This study investigates the thermometric properties of BiVO: Yb/Er (BVO: Er/Yb) nanophosphors synthesized the sol-gel method.

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) has been recognized as a window of opportunity for therapeutic and preventive measures to slow cognitive decline. The current study investigated the efficacy of the virtual reality (VR) cognitive-based intervention on verbal and visuospatial short-term memory (STM), executive functions (EFs), and wellbeing among older adults with and without MCI. The immersive VR cognitive-based intervention comprised eight 60-minute sessions, held twice a week over a span of 30 days.
