Background And Purpose: Computed tomography radiostereometric analysis (CT-RSA) assesses implant micromovements using low-dose CT scans. We aimed to investigate whether CT-RSA is comparable to marker-based radiostereometric analysis (RSA) measuring early femoral head migration in cemented stems. We hypothesized that CT-RSA is comparable to marker-based RSA in evaluating femoral head subsidence.

Brainstem atrophy, particularly in the locus coeruleus, has also been linked with poorer executive function. Studies showing brainstem as one of the first regions affected by AD largely employed novel imaging techniques such as neuromelanin-sensitive MRI, which is limited to research environments.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) health literacy is low in high-risk populations and is likely a determinant of timely care seeking behavior. Our group aimed to develop a novel brief questionnaire for use in community outreach and related studies of AD awareness.
Methods: We developed an initial 15-item AD knowledge questionnaire "ASK-AD (Assess Symptoms and Knowledge of AD)" following pilot study and cognitive interviews with subject matter experts along with elementary school children.

Background: Though frailty is common in aging, its impact on varied health outcomes has been grossly understudied among rural Indians. We aimed to cross-sectionally examine the impact of physical frailty on 13 health outcomes and brain structure in this population.
Method: Participants (n=5302) were non-demented, aging individuals (≥45 years) from the ongoing Srinivaspura Aging Neuro Senescence and Cognition (SANSCOG) cohort in rural southern India.

Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, NC, USA.
Background: Cardiometabolic disorders are emerging risk factors for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD-related dementia (ADRD). There is currently insufficient understanding of how different cardiometabolic profiles and blood biomarkers impact different AD-related brain pathology regionally. This project uses data-driven approaches and explainable artificial intelligence methods to determine the cardiometabolic and fluid contributions toward AD-related pathophysiologic patterns in the brain.
