Can the Cognitive Function Index identify cognitive impairment in Latin America? [PDF]

Alzheimers Dement
Abstract Background The Cognitive Function Index (CFI) was developed to identify individuals with Subjective Cognitive Decline (SCD), which is defined by the self‐perception of cognitive impairment, not detected in neuropsychological tests. Limited research has been done with this tool in Latin America (LA).

Abnormal Breast Temperature and Cortical Enlargement of the Axillary Lymph Nodes Through the Thermography. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Breast thermography may be used for the early detection of breast diseases in women younger than 50 years. Performed breast thermography on a woman in her 20s, revealing an average temperature difference of about 1°C. Ultrasound imaging further identified a simple cyst and enlarged, vascularized lymph nodes in both axillae.

Baseline Results Investigate APOE‐Memory Connection in Latin‐American Population at Risk for Dementia ‐ LatAm‐FINGERS Initial Insights [PDF]

Alzheimers Dement
Abstract Background Latin America (LA) faces heightened vulnerability to modifiable dementia risk factors. Early identification of at‐risk individuals is crucial for implementing effective preventive strategies. The Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test with Immediate Recall (FCSRT‐IR) is promising in early detection of mnemonic impairment, with high ...

Executive Functions in Latin American Older Adults: Exploring the Concept Shifting Test and Its Relationship with the APOE Gene in a Cross‐Sectional Sample from the LatAm‐FINGERS Study [PDF]

Alzheimers Dement
Abstract Background Latin America (LA) faces high vulnerability to dementia risk factors. Early detection of cognitive decline, particularly in executive functions (EF), is crucial. The Trail Making Test (TMT) has limitations, while the Concept Shifting Test (CST) offers potential advantages but lacks LA adaptation.

S-RNase Internalisation and Vacuolar Targeting via Clathrin-Dependent Endocytosis Mediate Interspecific Pollen Rejection in Nicotiana. [PDF]

Physiol Plant
ABSTRACT In Nicotiana, the multiallelic S‐locus controls self‐incompatibility (SI), which encodes S‐RNases in the pollen's pistil and S‐locus F‐box (SLF) proteins. Their interaction mediates S allele‐specific pollen rejection, preventing self‐fertilisation.

Cognitive characteristics in a Uruguayan cohort of healthy subjects with high educational level in risk of development dementia and its relation with ApoE genotype [PDF]

Alzheimers Dement
Abstract Background ApoE has been linked to individual differences in risk and resilience to neurodegeneration in normal aging. The ApoE4 genotype has been associated with an increased risk of developing late‐onset Alzheimer’s disease (age 65 and older).
