Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the presence and the importance of stato-kinetic dissociation (SKD) in subjects with normal and pathological visual fields (VF).
Methods: A "customized" perimetric test designed for the assessment of SKD was carried out in seven homogeneous samples of subjects (normal, glaucomatous, ocular hypertensive, retinopathic, cataract, anterior visual pathways neuropathic and posterior visual pathways neuropathic). The results were statistically compared (Anova).
Results And Conclusions: SKD is a physiological phenomenon, more evident in the central, paracentral and superior VF, influenced by age and partially by sex. SKD increases in the VF periphery when a posterior visual pathway disorder or retinopathy is present, and decreases in the centro-paracentral VF of glaucomatous and ocular hypertensive eyes. This SKD behaviour should be useful for early diagnosis of glaucoma.

Background/objective: To evaluate the weight and height status of under-five children between 1992 and 2021 in relation to nutritional context.
Subjects/methods: The study is based on the lengths/heights and weights of children <5 years in five national surveys (n = 505,026). After evaluating normality of the distributions, heights, and weights were expressed as z-scores relative to the WHO reference.

Subtle gait and cognitive dysfunction are common in Parkinson's disease (PD), even before most evident clinical manifestations. Such alterations can be assumed as hypothetical phenotypical and prognostic/progression markers. To compare spatiotemporal gait parameters in PD patients with three cognitive status: cognitively intact (PD-noCI), with subjective cognitive impairment (PD-SCI) and with mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI) in order to detect subclinical gait differences.

In this paper, a novel recursive hierarchical parametric identification method based on initial value optimization is proposed for Wiener-Hammerstein systems subject to stochastic measurement noise. By transforming the traditional Wiener-Hammerstein system model into a generalized form, the system model parameters are uniquely expressed for estimation. To avoid cross-coupling between estimating block-oriented model parameters, a hierarchical identification algorithm is presented by dividing the parameter vector into two subvectors containing the coupled and uncoupled terms for estimation, respectively.

Objective: This exploratory study investigates if neurofilament light chain (NfL) is excreted in the urine and whether this depends on plasma NfL (pNfL) levels and kidney function in terms of eGFR and U-albumin-creatinine ratio (uACR).
Methods: Using a computer algorithm, we identified excess urine and plasma from routine testing of uACR and eGFR in patients 45-50 years old. Up to 17 paired urine-plasma samples in each of six categories of kidney function defined by uACR and eGFR were analysed for NfL, and the urinary NfL-creatinine ratio (uNCR) was calculated to correct for urine dilution.
A Population Pharmacokinetic Analysis to Evaluate the Impact of Renal Impairment on the Pharmacokinetics of Iberdomide.

Iberdomide, a novel potent cereblon E3 ligase modulator, is under investigation for multiple myeloma. This study assessed how renal impairment (RI) affects iberdomide pharmacokinetics (PK). Twenty-six subjects with varying renal function, including those with severe renal impairment and those requiring intermittent hemodialysis (IHD), received a single oral 1 mg dose of iberdomide.
