Greater numbers of respiratory events negatively impacted memory function in 4 carriers only. This is the first study to provide preliminary evidence for a negative interaction of APOE ∈4 and OSAH on memory in older adults, which may have important implications for treating cognitive decline and delaying dementia onset.展开更多

Rather uncommon, however, is the so-called barber’ s hair sinus that is caused by hair fragments penetrating the skin preferably in the interdigital spaces of their hands. Whereas, to date, the disease has almost exclusively been reported to occur on the hands of male hairdressers, we herein present the first case of a female hairdresser who developed a barber’ s hair sinus on one of her feet.展开更多
