Multimorbidity and Associations with Cognition and Alzheimer's Disease Biomarkers

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Multimorbidity, the coexistence of 2 or more chronic conditions, has been linked to cognitive aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD‐related dementias, yet the mechanisms remain unclear. We aimed to examine the associations of multimorbidity with cognition and biomarkers across multiple mechanistic pathways.

Speech Biomarkers for Quantifying Effects of Subthalamic Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Dysarthria is one of the most common and disabling side effects of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN‐DBS) in Parkinson's disease (PD). Stimulation often exacerbates speech dysfunction beyond the effects of PD progression, likely because of current spread to structures surrounding the STN.

Descriptive, comparative, and functional anatomy of the facial musculature in cattle (Bos taurus)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Facial expressions can provide insight into animal emotions and pain, but no standardized system for assessing the entire facial display in cattle (Bos taurus Linnaeus) exists. The Facial Action Coding System (FACS), originally developed for humans, identifies distinct facial movements based on mimetic muscles.

From cramming to binge‐watching: Integrating documentary‐based assessment into a pharmacology and toxicology curriculum—a qualitative study

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims In the context of pharmacology and toxicology education, there is a growing shift toward programmatic assessment models that prioritize longitudinal learning, reflection and development of higher‐order cognitive skills. As part of this transition, we are exploring alternative and more meaningful forms of assessment. This qualitative study

Different outcomes of phonemic verbal fluency in Parkinson’s disease patients with subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation

Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria
Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) is a surgical technique to treat motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Studies have shown that STN-DBS may cause a decline in verbal fluency performance.
