Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a well-established risk factor for cataract. However, whether the causal effect on cataract differs by sex remains unclear. Determining whether this causal effect differs by sex could help resolve discrepancies in epidemiological studies regarding cataract risk in populations with diabetes. Methods: Using summary statistics of East Asian and European population

The evolutionary dynamics of diurnal Aletis moths (Lepidoptera: Geometridae: Sterrhinae) in the Afrotropics have been obscured by their allopatric distributions, significant inter- and intraspecific variation in adult and caterpillar phenotypes, and involvement in complex mimicry systems. Extensive phenotypic disparity, alongside conserved genital morphology and a lack of suitable material for gen

BACKGROUND: Previous studies, including ours (Wuestefeld et al., Brain, 2023), showed tau positron emission tomography (PET) uptake in medial temporal and neocortical regions of amyloid-beta (Aβ)-negative cognitively unimpaired (CU) individuals, associated with neurodegeneration and worse memory performance. To further understand if tau-PET uptake is clinically relevant in this population, we char

BACKGROUND: The tau-PET radiotracer [18F]flortaucipir enables in vivo detection of tau pathology in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and has recently been FDA- and EMA-approved for clinical use. To support its implementation, we assessed tau-PET's positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) for clinico-pathological AD while accounting for age, amyloid-status, and pre-PET diagnostic

Accurate shallow-water bathymetry is essential for navigation safety and coastal zone management, but conventional hydrographic surveys are costly and spatially limited, especially in dynamic nearshore environments. This thesis evaluates the newly released ICESat-2 ATL24 bathymetry product. It investigates its suitability as training data for satellite-derived bathymetry (SDB) using Sentinel-2 ima

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with a growing global burden. Current pharmacological therapies remain limited to symptomatic management, owning to an incomplete understanding of the mechanisms driving α‑synuclein aggregation and disease progression. This review provides an integrated overview of PD across epidemiological, etiological, pathophysiological, and c

Background: Virtual imaging trials (VITs) are in silico studies that simulate medical imaging and disease processes, offering a cost-effective and reproducible addition to traditional imaging trials. While VITs are well established in breast imaging, most existing implementations simulate imaging based on static anatomical models, capturing only a single time point. This limits their ability to st
