“…Simoa assays were performed to quantify Aβ 42 and Aβ 40 as plasma biomarkers of age-related neuropathology, and associations between the DTI-ALPS index and age, seizure frequency and duration, Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD), Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HAMA), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and Aβ 42:Aβ 40 ratio (Aβ 42/40) were assessed using Spearman correlation tests and multivariate logistic regression models.Results: Both DTI-ALPS index and Aβ 42/40 were significantly lower among LOE patients compared to HCs, and post-hoc analysis revealed even lower Aβ 42/40 and DTI-ALPS index values among LOE patients with comorbid chronic insomnia compared to HCs and LOE patients without chronic insomnia. …”

Association of Perineural Invasion of Adenocarcinoma in Prostate Biopsy with Pathological and Clinical Outcomes by Rita Rueangrong, Chalairat Suk-Ouichai, Achiraya Teyateeti, Katunyou Mahamongkol, Ngoentra Tantranont

“…However, perineural invasion was significantly associated with higher pathological T stage (pT2, pT3a, pT3b) (p < 0.001), including extraprostatic extension (pT3 disease) in univariate analysis. Multivariate analysis demonstrated a notable correlation between the pathological T stage and 2-year disease-free survival (p < 0.001). …”

“…MCI patients had significantly larger PSD volume (P = 0.023), a lower peak wash-in rate (P < 0.001), and delayed time to first peak (P = 0.001) compared to controls. In multivariate regression analysis, PSD volume (β = -0.579, 95% CI [-1.072 – -0.086], P = 0.023) and wash-out rate (β = -3.293, 95% CI [-6.351 – -0.235], P = 0.036) were significantly associated with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score. …”

“…Lower OA grade (odds ratio [OR]: 0.52; 95 % confidence interval (CI): 0.31–0.88; P = 0.015), smaller BMLs in medial femoral condyle (OR: 0.36; 95 % CI: 0.14–0.94; P = 0.037), and less meniscal extrusion (OR: 0.31; 95 % CI: 0.11–0.89; P = 0.029) were associated with higher responder rate at 6 months in multivariable logistic regression analysis. The factors associated with higher responder rate at 12 months included lower OA grade (OR: 0.42; 95 % CI: 0.25–0.73; P = 0.002) and younger age (OR: 1.04; 95 % CI: 1.00–1.08; P = 0.042). …”
