Identifying and Quantifying Conflicts Between Humans and Terrestrial Mammals in Great Britain
We conducted a literature review to identify conflicts between humans and terrestrial mammals in Great Britain. A modified Generic Impact Scoring System was applied to all conflicts so that mammals could be ranked according to their level of impact to help identify the most damaging species and to aid decision‐making. ABSTRACT Introduction Interactions

Genetic and Phenotypic Features of the Five Known Polyaminopathies: A Critical Narrative Review
ABSTRACT Polyaminopathies are a recently described family of rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorders. Polyaminopathies disrupt the biosynthesis of the primary polyamines: putrescine, spermidine, and spermine. Snyder–Robinson syndrome results from hemizygous loss‐of‐function variants in the spermine synthase (SMS) gene, resulting in decreased or ...

Abnormal amyloid PET usually represents intermediate/high Alzheimer's disease neuropathologic change
Abstract INTRODUCTION Alzheimer's disease neuropathologic change (ADNC) classification identifies not/low and intermediate/high levels of neuropathology. Our goal was to assess how frequently a positive amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) scan indicates not/low ADNC and whether this autopsy finding can occur >10 years after a positive amyloid ...
