Food-Derived Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Cognitive Aging: Integrating Nutritional Neuroscience and Geroscience

Noémi Mózes, Ágnes Lipécz, Tamás Csípő, Vince Fazekas-Pongor, Dávid Major, Wei Yi Hung, Virág Zábó, Boglárka Csík, Ágnes Fehér, Bálint Bérczi, Lilla Klesch, Mónika Fekete

Within the emerging field of nutritional neuroscience, omega-3 fatty acids are among the most extensively investigated dietary bioactive compounds with potential relevance to cognitive aging. As populations continue to age worldwide, identifying modifiable nutritional factors that support cognitive health has become an important public health priority. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), obtained primarily from marine sources, are integral components of neuronal membranes and serve as precur …

Hirotaka Nomiya, Kazuya Ofuji, Takuto Nosaka, Arisa Tsuji, Ryotaro Sugata, Tadayoshi Otsuki, Seiichi Taguchi, Yoshiaki Imamura, Yasunari Nakamoto, Hiroyuki Suto

Abstract An 80-year-old woman with Parkinson disease presented with sudden abdominal pain, back pain, and vomiting during a meal. Computed tomography revealed marked gastric dilatation with cranial displacement and rotation of the antrum, consistent with mesenteroaxial gastric volvulus. This was accompanied by an ectopic spleen adjacent to the greater curvature and suspected pedicle torsion, consistent with a wandering spleen. Nasogastric tube passage was initially unsuccessful. Emergency upper gastrointestinal end …

Frailty and its multidimensional correlates among hospitalized older adults with pulmonary tuberculosis: a cross-sectional study

Huijuan Wang, Meng Hao, Bofei Liu, Fangyuan Mu, Xujuan Lu

Background and objective Frailty is a clinically important geriatric syndrome that may increase vulnerability to adverse outcomes in older adults with chronic infectious diseases. Older adults with PTB often experience infection-related inflammation, nutritional depletion, functional decline, psychological distress, multimorbidity, and treatment burden, all of which may contribute to frailty. However, evidence regarding frailty and its associated factors in hospitalized older adults with PTB remains limited. This s …

Somatic Stem Cells: Control of Quiescence Versus Activation in Aging and Cancer

Daniel Yi, Michael Kahn

Somatic stem cells, as well as cancer stem cells, exist in two basic “states”, quiescent versus activated. The regulation of the balance between quiescence and activation is critical to tissue homeostasis and repair after injury. Additionally, after being activated, the decision to divide symmetrically or asymmetrically is critical. Aberrant regulation of stem cell quiescence and mode of mitotic division is associated with aging and diseases of aging including cancer, fibrosis, sarcopenia and neurodegeneration. Bas …

Public Transportation: More Than Moving People

Nuvika Razak

When people hear the word public transportation, they usually picture buses, trains, or stations that move people from one location to another. In real life, public transportation does much more than just help people get from one place to another. It plays a key role in a country's progress, affecting how the economy grows, how fairly people are treated, how the environment is protected, and the general standard of living (United Nations, 2015).

ABSTRACT Background Older adults with bipolar disorder ( BD ) are at high risk for severe mood symptoms, cognitive difficulties, and early mortality; however, underlying brain alterations have received little study. Gray matter decreases in ventral prefrontal cortex ( VPFC ) seen in younger persons with BD , and additionally in dorsal PFC ( DPFC ), are implicated. Here, cortical thickness was examined in an international sample. Methods Cortical thickness in 34 regions was measured from structural magnetic resonanc …

Social vulnerability and health determinants of Intrinsic Capacity in Mexican older adults: Evidence from the Mexican Health and Aging Study round 2021

Miriam Teresa López-Teros, Fabiola Yocupicio Medrano, Karla Animas Mijangos, Omar Yaxmehen Bello-Chavolla, Alberto Jose Mimenza-Alvarado, Sara Gloria Aguilar-Navarro

Background Population aging has increased interest in Intrinsic Capacity (IC), defined as the composite of physical and mental abilities that support healthy aging. Because declines in IC precede disability, IC is a useful framework for characterizing individuals with greater vulnerability in later life. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of the 2021 Mexican Health and Aging Study, a nationally representative survey of adults aged 50 years and older. IC was assessed across five domains using domain-spe …

Barriers to Antiretroviral Therapy Adherence in Rural and Urban Areas in Indonesia: Perspectives of People Living with HIV and Healthcare Professionals

Nelsensius Klau Fauk

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is essential for preventing HIV transmission and improving the health outcomes of people living with HIV (PLHIV). However, many barriers limit PLHIV from starting and adhering to ART, which explains why HIV responses in many settings, including Indonesia, have produced limited gains. This qualitative phenomenological study explored multilevel barriers to ART adherence in urban Yogyakarta (locally known as Jogja) and rural Belu, Indonesia, from the perspectives of PLHIV and healthcare pr …

Protein C activity may reflect endogenous anticoagulant balance and is associated with stroke severity and functional outcomes in acute ischemic stroke

Soo-Hyun Park, Minwoo Lee, Yeo Jin Kim, Dongwon Lee, Jong Seok Bae, Ju-Hun Lee, Sang-Hwa Lee, Chulho Kim, Yerim Kim

Background Aging is associated with a shift toward a prothrombotic state, partly driven by alterations in endogenous anticoagulant pathways. Protein C is a key component of this pathway, but the clinical relevance of variation in protein C activity for ischemic stroke has not been fully established. We investigated whether variation in protein C activity is associated with stroke phenotypes, stroke severity, and functional outcomes in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Methods We analyzed a prospective registry of patien …

LLMs’ reshaping of people, processes, products, and society in software development: a qualitative exploration with early adopters

Benyamin Tabarsi, Heidi Reichert, Sam Gilson, Ally Limke, Sandeep Kuttal, Tiffany Barnes

Abstract Large language models (LLMs) are rapidly reshaping software development, but their impact across the full software development lifecycle is underexplored. Existing work tends to focus on isolated activities such as code generation or testing, leaving open questions about how LLMs affect developers, processes, products, and the broader software ecosystem. We address this gap through semi-structured interviews with sixteen early-adopter software professionals who integrated LLM-based tools into their day-to- …

Background: Physio-cognitive decline syndrome, involving the simultaneous deterioration of physical and cognitive functions, poses a significant threat to healthy aging. The World Health Organization’s Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) framework emphasizes the importance of integrated, person-centered care in maintaining intrinsic capacity, making it important to understand physio-cognitive decline syndrome. However, there is a lack of validated instruments designed to assess this multidimensional condition …
