Introduction: A better understanding of who will develop dementia can inform patient care. Although MRI offers prognostic insights, access is limited globally, whereas CT-imaging is readily available in acute stroke. We explored the prognostic utility of acute CT-imaging for predicting dementia.

Background: () is a widely prevalent intracellular parasite that infects almost all warm-blooded animals and causes serious public health problems. The drugs currently used to treat toxoplasmosis have the disadvantage of being toxic and prone to the development of resistance, and the only licensed vaccine entails a risk of virulence restoration. The development of a safe and effective vaccine against is urgently needed.

Integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) have emerged as the first-line choice for treating human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection due to their superior efficacy and safety. However, the impact of INSTIs on the development of neuropsychiatric conditions in people living with HIV (PLWH) is not fully understood due to limited data. In this study, we conducted a cross-sectional examination of PLWH receiving antiretroviral therapy, with a specific focus on HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) on INSTI-based regimens (n = 61) and efavirenz (EFV)-based regimens (n = 28).

Organic brain disorders (OBD), including rapid-growth cancerous tumors, can have significant neuropsychiatric effects and in some circumstances have led to the manifestation of deviant behaviors that conflict with societal norms. This report describes the case of a geriatric male patient in Switzerland with no prior history of delinquency who in later life repeatedly committed stalking offences and aggressive acts. An initial forensic-psychiatric evaluation diagnosed this individual with persistent delusional disorder based on pronounced symptoms and rigid personality traits; during this assessment, the patient refused neuroimaging scans but later consented to these examinations.

Background: The literature on the relationships among blood iron levels, cognitive performance, and brain iron levels specific to women at the menopausal transition is ambiguous at best. The need to better understand these potential relationships in women for whom monthly blood loss (and thus iron loss) is ceasing is highlighted by iron's accumulation in brain tissue over time, thought to be a factor in the development of neurodegenerative disease.
Methods: Non-anemic women who were either low in iron or had normal iron levels for their age and race/ethnicity provided blood samples, underwent MRI scans to estimate brain iron levels, and performed a set of cognitive tasks with concurrent EEG.
