Article Abstract
Introduction: Various instruments exist for assessing agitation and broader non-cognitive symptoms in dementia (NCSD). However, the feasibility and practicality of using these instruments in residential settings with people with advanced dementia have not been evaluated. The aim of our review is to identify the available evidence regarding tools for measuring (1) Agitation and (2) NCSD in people with advanced dementia in residential settings, in terms of use (feasibility and psychometric properties) in this population.
Methods And Analysis: Literature searches will be carried out in Medline, Embase, CINAHL, PsycInfo, Scopus, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Grey literature databases and relevant websites will also be explored for guidance documents, task reports, etc. A three-stage screening process will be adopted and will include pilot testing of source selectors. Two reviewers will independently perform title and abstract screening, then full text screening, against the defined eligibility criteria. This scoping review protocol was registered with Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/p7g86).
Ethics And Dissemination: Due to the nature of the scoping review, ethical approval is not required. Results will be disseminated in a peer-reviewed journal and at international conferences.

Purpose: The fourth most common cause of cancer-related deaths in women is cervical cancer. Though treatment of early-stage cervical cancer is often effective, middle and advanced stage cervical cancer is hard to treat and prone to recurrence. We sought to explore the mechanism underlying cervical cancer progression to identify new therapeutic approaches.

Acute vestibular syndrome (AVS) is characterized by the sudden onset of dizziness or vertigo, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, gait instability, and nystagmus, lasting for more than 24 hours and often persisting for several days to weeks. Central AVS primarily involves central vestibular structures, such as the brainstem and cerebellum, and is most commonly caused by ischemic stroke in the posterior circulation. When acute posterior circulation infarction presents solely with isolated dizziness or vertigo, without other symptoms of central nervous system damage, it is often misdiagnosed as a peripheral vestibular disorder, this can lead to serious consequences.

Introduction: Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDA-R) encephalitis is a neuropsychiatric disorder with additional psychiatric features caused by NMDA-R immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This report presents the follow-up of a patient in whom we assumed mild NMDA-R encephalitis in the first psychotic episode.
Case Study: A patient with a prior episode of an acute polymorphic psychotic syndrome relapsed five and a half years later following a severe COVID-19 infection.

Background: The methylation of and its influence on protein stability and degradation could play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), although the underlying molecular mechanisms are not yet fully understood. This study investigates the molecular and bioinformatic features of methylation in T2DM.
Methods: Bioinformatics analyses were conducted on the T2DM database chip.

Molecular imaging in nuclear medicine has been employed extensively in recent years for tumor-targeted diagnosis and treatment that is attributed to its non-invasive property, which enables visualized functional localization. This functionality relies on the development of radionuclide molecular probes designed with the objective of identifying specific targets on the surface of tumors. Epithelial cell adhesion molecules (EpCAM) are considered to be a promising target as an antigenic marker for its widely present and integral to the processes associated with tumor occurrence and progression.
