Investigating a Multimodal Approach to Clinical Diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer’s Disease

An estimated 5.8 million Americans suffer from dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease (AD), with that number projected to grow to 13.8 million by mid-century (Alzheimer’s Association, 2019). Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) describes the stage between normal cognitive decline that comes with aging and a dementia diagnosis (Peterson, 1999). Due to a lack of a cure or particularly effective treatment, a major goal of treatment is to focus on improving quality of life (Budson & Solomon, 2016). An early and accurate diagnosis can address this goal in a variety of ways. Despite the high prevalence and immense amount of research in MCI and AD, there is still no individual assessment measure that can definitively diagnose either. A multimodal approach must be implemented by clinicians and investigated by researchers to ensure early and accurate diagnosis. This study used multivariate logistic regression to analyze how two neuropsychological screening tests, two brain structures’ volumes, and an eye-tracking outcome all contributed to the diagnostic process. The two screening tests were the only unique contributors to the predictive model, and there was only slight evidence to suggest that the multimodal approach using these measures improved accuracy of diagnosis

Sa1mon P. Chase and Reconstruction: Review of \u3ci\u3eThe Salmon P. Chase Papers\u3c/i\u3e, Volume 5: Correspondence, 1865-1873. Edited by John Niven, James P. McClure, Leigh Johnson, Holly Byers Ochoa, and Kathleen Norman.

Tumultuous and momentous events occurred in the United States between 1865 and 1873. Dominating the political arena was the end of the nation\u27s bloody civil war and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, followed by the struggle over Reconstruction and the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson. In the middle of this ferment stirred the impressive figure of Salmon P. Chase, who served as chief justice of the Supreme Court from 1864 to 1873. Correspondence of William James Wins Morton N.

Market evidence on the opaqueness of banking firms' assets.

We assess the market microstructure properties of U.S. banking firms' equity, to determine whether they exhibit more or less evidence of asset opaqueness than similar-sized nonbanking firms. The evidence strongly indicates that large banks (traded on NASDAQ) trade much less frequently despite microstructure characteristics. Problem (noncurrent) loans tend to raise the frequency with which the bank's equity trades, as well as the equity's return volatility. The implications for regulatory policy and future market microstructure research are discussed.Bank stocks ; Bank assets
