Article Synopsis
  • - The study focuses on comparing cognitive profiles of patients with mild cognitive impairment related to Alzheimer's disease (AD-MCI) and Parkinson's disease (PD-MCI), noting that large studies on this topic are limited.
  • - Data from two large cohort studies were analyzed using a common diagnostic approach, revealing that AD-MCI patients performed worse on memory and language tests, while PD-MCI patients struggled more with executive tasks involving set-shifting.
  • - The results indicate that a specific neuropsychological test battery can effectively differentiate between AD-MCI and PD-MCI, suggesting that clinical assessments should encompass a wide range of cognitive areas to identify potential changes.

Background: Surgical treatment of Graves' disease (GD) has a potentially increased incidence of postoperative hypoparathyroidism, recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy (RLNP) and bleeding. The aim of this study was to evaluate the current extent of surgery for the treatment of GD and its safety as a short-term outcome.

Methods: Patients who underwent thyroid resection for GD were identified from the prospective StuDoQ/Thyroid registry.

Background And Purpose: We evaluated cerebral white and gray matter changes in patients with iRLS in order to shed light on the pathophysiology of this disease.

Methods: Twelve patients with iRLS were compared to 12 age- and sex-matched controls using whole-head diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and voxel-based morphometry (VBM) techniques. Evaluation of the DTI scans included the voxelwise analysis of the fractional anisotropy (FA), radial diffusivity (RD), and axial diffusivity (AD).

BACKGROUND: In many studies investigating measures to attenuate the hemodynamic and humoral stress response during induction of anaesthesia, primary attention was paid to the period of endotracheal intubation since it has been shown that even short-lasting sympathetic cardiovascular stimulation may have detrimental effects on patients with coronary artery disease. The aim of this analysis was, however, to identify the influencing factors on high catecholamine levels before induction of anaesthesia. METHODS: Various potential risk factors that could impact the humoral stress response before induction of anaesthesia were recorded in 84 males undergoing coronary aortic bypass surgery, and were entered into a stepwise linear regression analysis.
