The disproportionate cortical atrophy is an established biomarker for the pathophysiological process of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the genetic basis underlying the cortical atrophy remains poorly defined. Herein, we aim to illustrate the effect of the Wnt target genes on the cortical volumes of AD patients. 82 sporadic AD patients were recruited. All the subjects had history survey, blood biochemical examination, cogni...

A great number of collision accidents can be attributed to incongruous collision-avoidance actions between the give-way vessel and the stand-on vessel in a crossing or overtaking situation. If the give-way vessel does not take appropriate collision-avoidance action according to international regulations for preventing collisions at sea, the last barrier to pass safely is the appropriate and effective collision-avoidance action...
