Background: Emerging evidence support the notion that loss of splicing repression by TDP-43, an RNA binding protein that was first implicated in ALS-FTD, underlies their pathogenesis. Previously, we showed that delivery of an AAV9 vector at early postnatal day expressing a fusion protein, termed CTR comprised of the N-terminal region of TDP-43 and an unrelated splicing repressor termed RAVER1 complemented the loss of TDP-43 in mice lacking TDP-43 in spinal motor neurons (ChAT-IRES-Cre;tardbp mice). To translate this potential therapeutic strategy to the clinic, it will be important to demonstrate benefit of such AAV delivery of CTR to motor neurons in adult mice.

Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) shares pathological and genetic underpinnings with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). ALS manifests with diverse symptoms, including progressive neuro-motor degeneration, muscle weakness, but also cognitive-behavioural changes in up to half of the cases. Resting-state EEG measures, particularly spectral power and functional connectivity, have been instrumental for discerning abnormal motor and cognitive network function in ALS [1]-[3].

Interscalene blocks, commonly used for shoulder surgery analgesia, often cause transient phrenic nerve palsy, leading to hemi-diaphragmatic paresis. This complication is particularly problematic in patients with pulmonary comorbidities and has been extensively investigated. However, its impact on patients with Fontan physiology remains less understood with limited representation in the literature.

Background: Over the past decade, facial aesthetics has gained popularity, with a notable increase in upper-face lift procedures. Despite the popularity of brows and forehead lifts, the optimal fixation technique remains controversial. Common methods involve suturing of the temporal fascia or using monocortical miniscrews anchored to the frontal bone.
