- Overview of Hepatitis B Vaccine Non-Response and Associated B Cell Amnesia: A Scoping Reviewby Nura Bello on July 26, 2024
BACKGROUND: The advent of the hepatitis B vaccine has achieved tremendous success in eradicating and reducing the burden of hepatitis B infection, which is the main culprit for hepatocellular carcinoma-one of the most fatal malignancies globally. Response to the vaccine is achieved in about 90-95% of healthy individuals and up to only 50% in immunocompromised patients. This review aimed to provide an overview of hepatitis B vaccine non-response, the mechanisms involved, B cell amnesia, and...
- Patterns of longitudinal subcortical atrophy over one year in amnestic mild cognitive impairment and its impact on cognitive performance: a preliminary studyby Berrin Çavuşoğlu on July 25, 2024
CONCLUSION: aMCI demonstrated subcortical atrophies associated with cognitive deficits. The thalamus, nucleus accumbens, and hippocampus may provide additional diagnostic information for aMCI.
- Physiological characteristics of neurons in the mammillary bodies align with topographical organization of subicular inputsby Noam Nitzan on July 25, 2024
The mammillary bodies (MBOs), a group of hypothalamic nuclei, play a pivotal role in memory formation and spatial navigation. They receive extensive inputs from the hippocampus through the fornix, but the physiological significance of these connections remains poorly understood. Damage to the MBOs is associated with various forms of anterograde amnesia. However, information about the physiological characteristics of the MBO is limited, primarily due to the limited number of studies that have...
- Performance of Fully-Automated High-Throughput Plasma Biomarker Assays for Alzheimer's Disease in Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment Subjectsby G M Giuffrè on July 24, 2024
INTRODUCTION: Novel plasma biomarkers are promising for identifying Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathological processes in vivo, but most currently employed assays have limitations precluding widespread use.
