Department of Medicine Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar, Qatar Foundation Doha Qatar.
Introduction: Corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) detects neurodegeneration in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia and identifies subjects with MCI who develop dementia. This study assessed whether abnormalities in corneal endothelial cell (CEC) morphology are related to corneal nerve morphology, brain volumetry, cerebral ischemia, and cognitive impairment in MCI and dementia.
Methods: Participants with no cognitive impairment (NCI), MCI, and dementia underwent CCM to quantify corneal endothelial cell density (CECD) and area (CECA), corneal nerve fiber morphology, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain volumetry, and severity of brain ischemia.
Loss of corneal nerves and brain volume in mild cognitive impairment and dementia.
Alzheimers Dement (N Y)
April 2022
Department of Medicine Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar Qatar Foundation Doha Qatar.
Introduction: This study compared the capability of corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain volumetry for the diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, participants with no cognitive impairment (NCI), MCI, and dementia underwent assessment of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), MRI brain volumetry, and CCM.
Results: Two hundred eight participants with NCI (n = 42), MCI (n = 98), and dementia (n = 68) of comparable age and gender were studied.
Itch and Mental Health in Dermatological Patients across Europe: A Cross-Sectional Study in 13 Countries.

Department of Dermatology, Rumailah Hospital Hamad Medical Corporation Doha, Qatar.
Article Synopsis
- Itch is a common and complex symptom that affects mental health in dermatological patients, as highlighted in a study involving over 3,500 patients across 13 European countries.
- There are significant links between itch and mental health issues, with increased odds of clinical depression, suicidal thoughts, and economic difficulties among patients experiencing itch.
- The study findings emphasize that itch not only worsens the quality of life (lower health status scores) but also stresses the need for comprehensive care that includes both dermatological and mental health support for affected patients.
Association of corneal nerve fiber measures with cognitive function in dementia.

Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar Qatar Foundation Education City Doha Qatar.
Objectives: Corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) is a noninvasive ophthalmic technique that identifies corneal nerve degeneration in a range of peripheral neuropathies and in patients with multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. We sought to determine whether there is any association of corneal nerve fiber measures with cognitive function and functional independence in patients with MCI and dementia.
Methods: In this study, 76 nondiabetic participants with MCI ( = 30), dementia ( = 26), and healthy age-matched controls ( = 20) underwent assessment of cognitive and physical function and CCM.
Primary apocrine sweat gland carcinoma is a rare neoplasm. It is usually slow growing and is often suspected to be a benign disease at initial assessment. A thorough clinical and histological workup is required for diagnosis.
