2%). No significant differences in MC-1-IR, AT8-IR or 4G8-IR were observed in any region between AD/LATE-NC and AD without LATE-NC, indicating no accelerated aggregation or hyperphosphorylation of tau proteins in the AD/LATE-NC cases. Final MMSE was significantly lower in AD/LATE-NC cases and was significantly associated with LATE-NC score even when controlled for the presence of both MC-1-IR and AT8-IR (P=0.009).
The presence of LATE-NC in AD is not associated with an increase in the burden of early or late tau or Aβ pathology. LATE-NC is associated with a lower final MMSE score independent of tau pathology.

In order to see, whether such differences extend to the axial complex as well, we studied the axial complex of Himerometra robustipinna (Himerometridae, Comatulida) and compared it with modern Eleutherozoa. The axial coelom is represented by narrow spaces lined with squamous coelothelium, and surrounds the extracellular haemocoelic lacunae of the axial organ. The latter is located, for the most part, along the central oral-aboral axis of the body. The axial organ can be divided into the lacunar and tubular region. The tubular coelomic canals penetrating the thickness of the axial organ have cuboidal epithelial lining, and end blindly both on the oral and aboral sides. The axial coelom, perihaemal coelom, and genital coelom are clearly visible, but they connect with the general perivisceral coelom and with each other via numerous openings. The haemocoelic spaces of the oral haemal ring pass between the clefts of the perihaemal coelom, and connect with the axial organ. In addition, the axial organ connects with intestinal haemal vessels and with the genital haemal lacuna. Numerous thin stone canaliculi pierce the spongy tissue of the oral haemal ring. They do not connect with the environment. On the oral side, each stone canaliculus opens into the water ring. The numerous slender tegmenal pores penetrate the oral epidermis of the calyx and open to the environment. Tegmenal canaliculi lead into bubbles of the perivisceral coelom. Some structures of the crinoid axial complex (stone canaliculi, communication between different coeloms) are numerous whereas in other echinoderms these structures are fewer or only one. The arrangement of the circumoral complex of Crinoidea is most similar to Holothuroidea. The anatomical structure and histology of the axial complex of Crinoidea resembles the "heart-kidney" of Hemichordata in some aspects.
The nature of certain musculoskeletal impairments associated with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) is unclear. Understanding impairments within TMD subgroups is important to guide management.
Characterise local musculoskeletal impairments in adults with persistent TMD.
PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane databases were searched from inception to 12 January 2020. Bibliographies were searched for additional articles, including grey literature. Case-control and interventional studies reporting temporomandibular range of motion (ROM), muscle function (MF) or proprioception in TMD and control groups were included. Risk of bias was assessed using SIGN checklist for case-control studies. Results were pooled using random-effects model. Confidence in cumulative evidence was determined using American Academy of Neurology guidelines.
Sixty-six studies were included, most rated moderate risk of bias. Twelve primary outcomes were assessed, with partial scope for meta-analysis. Significant reductions were found for active maximal mouth opening (P<.00001, MD=-4.65mm), protrusion (P<.0001, MD=-0.76mm) and maximum bite force (P<.00001) in TMD versus controls. Subgroup analysis scope was limited. Reduced AMMO was found in myogenic TMD subgroups versus controls (P=.001, MD= -3.28mm). Few studies measured proprioception, with high methodological variability. Confidence in cumulative evidence ranged from high to very low.
ROM and bite force impairments accompany TMD. Insufficient data were available to investigate impairments within TMD subgroups.
Several musculoskeletal impairments have been identified, which may guide clinical management of TMD. Lack of subgroup data, and data for proprioception and MF, highlights future direction for research.

CRD42020150734.Links between child maltreatment and low-grade inflammation in adulthood are well documented, but these studies often rely on adults to report retrospectively on experiences of childhood abuse. Furthermore, these findings raise questions about whether exposure to childhood maltreatment needs time to "incubate," only giving rise to nonresolving inflammation in adulthood, or whether heightened inflammation may be observable in childhood, closer in time to the maltreatment exposure. The present study examined this question in a sample of 155 low-income children (ages 8-12), half of whom had been exposed to maltreatment. this website Trained coders evaluated case reports to classify maltreatment based on timing and exposure type. Blood samples from children assessed C-reactive protein and cytokines, which were used to form a composite of low-grade inflammation. Analyses revealed a marginally significant Maltreatment Exposure × Sex interaction, which suggested that maltreatment exposure was associated with higher inflammation for girls but not boys. Additionally, analyses focused on the accumulation of maltreatment experiences (through multiple forms of maltreatment or across multiple time points) revealed that girls with greater diversity in their maltreatment experiences and those who experienced maltreatment at multiple time points were at greatest risk. Finally, examination of timing of first onset of maltreatment suggested that girls whose exposures occurred before the age of 5 had the highest low-grade inflammation. These findings add new evidence linking maltreatment to inflammation in childhood, which could increase the risk for mental and physical health problems across the lifespan.
