Summary: Linguistic disorders are common in Alzheimer's disease, particularly in sentence processing and working memory. This study found that patients with mild Alzheimer's had lower scores in comprehension, production, and working memory compared to healthy elderly individuals. The processing problems in Alzheimer's patients are likely influenced by both working memory and language difficulties.

Summary: The study aimed to identify the experiences and challenges faced by nurses working in pandemic clinics in Turkey during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nurses caring for COVID-19 patients in Turkey have been affected psychologically, socially and physiologically, experiencing stigmatisation, exhaustion, and burnout.

Summary: This study examines a Markovian queue system where the server may experience breakdowns and vacations while serving customers, with service rates varying accordingly. Closed-form solutions for steady-state probabilities are found using the spectral expansion method, and various performance measures of the system are developed. The Laplace-Stieltjes transform of sojourn time for customers is also derived, along with numerical examples demonstrating the impact of system parameters on performance measures and expected sojourn time.

Summary: The study found that Parkinson's disease patients have impaired performance in sequential working memory, with longer initiation times, longer movement times, and more constrained movement trajectories compared to healthy controls. The initiation time and ordering time negatively correlated with the daily exposure to levodopa and D2/3 receptor agonists, respectively, while the movement time positively correlated with the severity of motor symptoms. The findings suggest that stimulating D1 and D2/3 receptors may help improve the maintenance and manipulation of sequences in PD patients.

Summary: This study found significantly higher levels of overnight norepinephrine in patients with schizophrenia, along with reduced working memory performance, compared to healthy controls. There was a significant negative correlation between norepinephrine and working memory in patients, independent of age, sex, and medication. These results suggest a potential peripheral impact of norepinephrine on working memory in schizophrenia that warrants further investigation.

Summary: This research extends the compound-choking criterion to real gases and demonstrates its superiority for supersonic ejectors. The study shows that using the compound-choking theory can more accurately predict the entrainment ratio, with a reduced error compared to the Fabri-choking theory.
