Article Abstract

Purpose Of Review: Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) is of great concern to patients with ALS as its complications can increase mortality and reduce the quality of life. This review aims to provide an overview of the recent developments and the current state of assessment, treatment, and management of dysphagia in ALS.

Recent Findings: The optimal timing of assessment, treatment, and management of dysphagia may be early in the ALS disease process, even before the dysphagia occurs. There is wide heterogeneity in SLP practice patterns for the management of dysphagia.

Summary: Dysphagia is common and debilitating; however, for various reasons, there is no clear consensus on how best to manage dysphagia in this population. Future work centered around predicting swallowing decline and improving interventions aimed at prolonging swallowing function in the early stages of the disease process may promote improved dysphagia care.

Excitatory glycine receptors control ventral hippocampus synaptic plasticity and anxiety-related behaviors.

Excitatory glycine receptors (eGlyRs), composed of the glycine-binding NMDA receptor subunits GluN1 and GluN3A, have recently emerged as a novel neuronal signaling modality that challenges the traditional view of glycine as an inhibitory neurotransmitter. Unlike conventional GluN1/GluN2 NMDARs, the distribution and role of eGlyRs remain poorly understood. Here, we show that eGlyRs are highly enriched in the ventral hippocampus (VH) and confer distinct properties on this brain region.

Climate change is expected to pose significant threats to public health, particularly vector-borne diseases. Despite dramatic recent increases in dengue that many anecdotally connect with climate change, the effect of anthropogenic climate change on dengue remains poorly quantified. To assess this link, we assembled local-level data on dengue across 21 countries in Asia and the Americas.

Cancer, with its inherent heterogeneity, is commonly categorized into distinct subtypes based on unique traits, cellular origins, and molecular markers specific to each type. However, current studies primarily rely on complete multi-omics datasets for predicting cancer subtypes, often overlooking predictive performance in cases where some omics data may be missing and neglecting implicit relationships across multiple layers of omics data integration. This paper introduces Multi-Layer Matrix Factorization (MLMF), a novel approach for cancer subtyping that employs multi-omics data clustering.

Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP), caused by subsp. (Mmm), is a devastating cattle disease with high morbidity and mortality, threatening cattle productivity in Sub-Saharan Africa and potentially in parts of Asia. Cross-border livestock trade increases the risk of CBPP introduction or reintroduction.
