Summary: In patients with VCI and dementia, abnormal EEG measures include smaller alpha rhythms, widespread increases in delta and theta rhythms, and delayed peak latencies in event-related potentials. These measures may serve as potential biomarkers in clinical trials for prognosis and interventions to normalize brain excitability and vigilance.

Summary: Short-term periods of increased resistance exercise training can enhance performance, while prolonged periods without sufficient recovery can result in non-functional overreaching or overtraining syndrome. The imbalance between training demand and recovery leads to diminished performance. The current research on resistance exercise overtraining is heterogeneous, disparate, and lacking reliable markers for early detection.

Summary: Vestibular migraine is increasingly recognized as a pathological cause of vestibular disorders, yet it remains underdiagnosed. The pathophysiology of this disorder is still unclear. A multidisciplinary expert workshop identified seven current care gaps that need to be resolved, including a better understanding of symptoms and phenotypes, a lack of diagnostic markers, a better understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms, as well as the need for clear recommendations and outcome measures. Recommendations were made to address these gaps, such as establishing a global registry and conducting trials to validate current treatments.

Summary: Vaccination-associated adenopathy is a common imaging finding after COVID-19 vaccination, which may be mistaken for malignant nodal involvement in patients with cancer. Routine imaging should be scheduled at least 6 weeks after vaccination, while clinically indicated imaging should not be delayed.

Summary: Bleeding in spine surgery is a common occurrence, but uncontrolled bleeding can have severe consequences. Various factors, including patient factors and surgical approach, can influence bleeding during spine surgery. Hemostatic agents can be used to reduce bleeding risk, but evidence supporting their use in spine surgery is limited.

Summary: Open Research is intended to make research more accessible, transparent, reproducible, shared, and collaborative. However, evidence shows that its implementation undermines equity. To address this, a diverse group of researchers, research managers, and funders co-created actionable recommendations to support equitable implementation. Using a co-creative modified Delphi method, they generated consensus-driven recommendations that tackle resource-intensive nature, high costs, and obstructive reward practices. This paper provides an overview of the issues, details the co-creative process, presents the recommendations and debates, and emphasizes the need for a global and inclusive approach.

Summary: Tailored recommendations of sunscreen are essential based on the impact of different wavelengths of sunlight on the skin and the specific skin phototype and dermatoses. Advances in sunscreen filters and formulations have made this customization possible. Effective protection against various skin issues like photoaging and skin cancers can be achieved by selecting the appropriate sunscreen for each skin type.

Summary: This article describes a lab-based pedagogical framework designed to support faculty research goals and student learning, as well as to attenuate patterns of historical exclusion. By leveraging evidence-based best practices from experiential education, team-based workflows, servant leadership, and whole-person-style mentorship models, this approach advances faculty research goals, supports student learning beyond traditional coursework, and disrupts patterns of historical exclusion. Qualitative evidence is provided to support the model, and the hurdles and challenges to be overcome are discussed.

Summary: Neuromuscular ultrasound has become an integral part of diagnosing neuromuscular disorders, but there is currently no standardized scanning technique. To address this issue, a study was conducted with 17 experts using the Delphi approach to establish consensus-based standardized scanning techniques and protocols for common neuromuscular disorders. The study resulted in the development of six consensus-based protocols that can serve as references for clinicians and researchers, and improve the quality and uniformity of neuromuscular ultrasound practices.

Summary: Bibliometric research has the potential to contribute to theory and practice, but it often faces criticism for not effectively linking its outputs with theory building and practice improvement. It is important to explore how bibliometric research can make better contributions in this regard.

Summary: Single-cell RNA-sequencing has improved the resolution and specificity of root transcriptomics data, particularly in the structured Arabidopsis root meristem. By using tissue-specific single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, these methods can be enhanced to discover regulators of root development in various species. Single-cell technologies have the potential to provide transcriptome atlases for almost any species.

Summary: Linear transport infrastructure has important impacts on wildlife and landscape processes, particularly on birdlife. Factors such as habitat quality, species-specific traits, traffic noise, and infrastructure are identified to influence birds near roads. While early research focused on traffic noise as the main selective force, recent studies suggest that habitat quality and infrastructure play a bigger role. However, existing literature has limitations in data collection, confounding variable management, inclusion of vehicle-free environments, experimental timeframes, and methodologies susceptible to bias.

Summary: The study found that integration of social sciences in environmental research can lead to improved problem framing, introduction of new methodologies, and greater stakeholder and public inclusion in the research process. Research outcomes include the inclusion or refinement of social and environmental perspectives, increased translatability of research, and establishment of new partnerships. Barriers to integration include lack of familiarity with social sciences, while facilitators include receptive team members, intentional communication strategies, and organizational commitment to interdisciplinary work.

Summary: This study investigated the predictors of apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) in adults being evaluated for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). The results showed that BMI and systolic blood pressure were significant predictors of OSA, while the absence of lung disease was a unique predictor for AHI levels from PSG. This study is the first to report this combination of variables predicting AHI levels >= 15 from PSG.

Summary: The relationship between sleep-wake disturbances and episodic memory differed depending on the type of measure used – objective measurement was associated with poorer memory while perceived daytime sleepiness was associated with better memory. Cognitive reserve and depressive symptoms did not moderate this relationship.

Summary: In 2021, the NCI issued updated guidance clarifying the mission of cancer centers in addressing the cancer burden of the catchment area (CA) and partnering with the community to reduce the cancer burden. This paper discusses the approaches to implementing these guidelines and the impact of these efforts on the burden of cancer in respective CAs. The authors also highlight the challenge of implementing the new guidelines and hope to foster cross-center collaborations for effective reduction of the cancer burden in the US.

Summary: This descriptive study used task-evoked event-related potential (ERP) and resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsf/MRI) methodologies to investigate the physiological and cognitive changes in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with chemotherapy-related cognitive impairment. The findings revealed significant associations between changes in the DAN-related ERP measures and quality-of-life (QOL) measures in CRC patients. Despite some limitations, this study provides a potential mechanism for understanding how altered brain structural/functional relationships impact cognition, QOL, and nursing care in CRC patients.
