Neuroinflammation contributes to Parkinson disease (PD) pathology, and inflammatory biomarkers may aid in PD diagnosis. Proximity extension assay (PEA) technology is a promising method for multiplex analysis of markers. also plays role related neurodegenerative diseases, such as dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) Alzheimer (AD). The aim this work was assess the value newly diagnosed patients DLB AD.Patients from Norwegian ParkWest Dementia Study Western Norway longitudinal cohorts (PD, n = 120;...

Substance use disorder (SUD) is often considered a chronic illness in which prolonged recovery, terms of abstinence, uncommon. Personality has been found to predict but not much known about its long-term predictive ability as the majority previous studies have had short follow-up periods (≥ one year). The current longitudinal cohort study therefore investigated whether personality traits short- (STR) well recovery (LTR) SUD patients.

Many children who suffer from one mental health issue also at least co-occurring disorder and a range of developmental psychopathology theories, including cascade network models, have been proposed to explain this widespread co-occurrence. Autoregressive latent trajectory models with structured residuals (ALT-SR) multilevel graphical vector autoregression (GVAR) are recently complementary approaches that can help operationalize test these theories provide new insights into the reciprocal...

Face mask ventilation of apnoeic neonates is an essential skill. However, many non-paediatric healthcare personnel (HCP) in high-resource childbirth facilities receive little hands-on real-life practice. Simulation training aims to bridge this gap by enabling skill acquisition and maintenance. Success may rely on how closely a simulator mimics the clinical conditions faced HCPs during neonatal resuscitation. Using novel, low-cost, high-fidelity designed train newborn skills, we compared...
