Article Abstract
Introduction: Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is considered a preclinical manifestation of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recent research suggests that subtle cognitive changes in SCD are linked to an increased risk of clinical decline. This study investigates the longitudinal trajectories of both objective and self-reported cognitive functions in individuals with SCD, with a focus on the impact of subtle cognitive impairment (SCI).
Methods: A total of 107 individuals with SCD, with at least two annual follow-ups, were included in this study. We analyzed the trajectories of both objective and subjective cognitive functions, assessed changes in medial temporal lobe regional volumes, and compared baseline AD biomarkers between SCD individuals with SCI (n = 22, SCI group) and without SCI (n = 85).
Results: SCD individuals with SCI showed a faster decline in objective cognitive function over time compared to those without SCI, who exhibited cognitive improvement. Self-reported cognitive complaints showed no differences between groups at baseline or in annual changes over time. The SCI group had lower baseline entorhinal cortical volumes and greater volume reductions over time and also exhibited more abnormalities in AD biomarkers, including higher amyloid PET positivity, a lower Aβ 42/40 ratio, and elevated p-tau181.
Conclusion: SCI status in SCD individuals is associated with significant cognitive decline, along with more abnormal AD biomarkers. These findings suggest that early identification of SCI status in individuals with SCD may improve the prediction of cognitive decline. However, self-reported cognitive complaints may have a limited role in monitoring clinical changes in SCD.

Background: Previous studies indicate that hippocampal (subfield) and amygdala volumes may correlate with specific cognitive functions, coping strategies and emotion regulation. Here, we investigated associations between emotional processing and volumes of hippocampal subfields and amygdala. We focused on depressed patients since emotional dysregulation and hippocampal volume shrinkage are characteristic of them.

Background Breast augmentation surgery (BAS) is one of the top cosmetic surgical procedures performed in the United States every year. There are various breast implant options, such as saline, silicone, smooth, and textured implants. Breast implant illness (BII) is a disorder associated with a wide array of symptoms presenting post breast implant surgery and is often associated with autoimmune disorders.

Introduction: Physical inactivity and depression are significant public health concerns, often co-occurring and exacerbating one another. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has shown promise in enhancing cognitive and affective processes, potentially improving exercise adherence and outcomes in individuals with depressive symptoms. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary within group effects of combining tDCS with an aerobic exercise (AE) intervention to increase physical activity in individuals with elevated depressive symptoms.

Human factors are central to aviation safety, with pilot cognitive states such as workload, stress, and situation awareness playing important roles in flight performance and safety. Although flight simulators are widely used for training and scientific research, they often lack the ecological validity needed to replicate pilot cognitive states from real flights. To address these limitations, a new in-flight data collection methodology for general aviation using a Cessna 172 aircraft, which is one of the most widely used aircraft for pilot training, is presented.
