    Mechanical ventilation is often required by very preterm infants with respiratory failure, even if invasive respiratory support is related to lung injury and adverse neurologic outcomes. The exposure to mechanical ventilation should be therefore limited. Optimal extubation however re...

    Numerous studies have reported a smaller hippocampal volume in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients than in aging controls. However, in mild cognitive impairment (MCI), the results are inconsistent. Moreover, the left-right asymmetry of the hippocampus receives less research attention. In this article,...
