Effect of sarcopenia and paraspinal muscle morphology on conservative treatment outcomes in lumbar spinal stenosis: a prospective cohort study

Zhangmeng Xu, Tao Xu, Jing Guo, Jinshun Zou, Jiajia Luo, Fan Chen, Xin Zhang, Ji Wu

Introduction The impact of sarcopenia on postoperative outcomes in lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is well documented, but its role in conservative treatment remains unclear. In this prospective cohort study, we examined the association between sarcopenia and outcomes after conservative treatment in elderly LSS patients and explored whether paraspinal cross-sectional area (CSA) and fat percentage mediate this relationship. Methods Elderly LSS patients undergoing conservative treatment at Sichuan Provincial Orthopedic …

BMI and mortality among older adults in Belgium: the roles of age, sex, and frailty

Arne Noppe, Johan Van der Heyden, Hilde Baeyens, Ingrid Pelgrims, Sabine Drieskens, Anja Declercq, Brecht Devleesschauwer

Abstract Background Ageing populations and increasing prevalence of overweight are two of the main healthcare challenges worldwide. In 2023–2024, 49.7% of the Belgian population had overweight (BMI $$\ge$$ 25) and 3.1% of the population aged 65 years and above had underweight (BMI < 18.5). The health risks associated with high or low BMI and old age separately are well known. In addition, frailty is a key risk factor among older adults which is often associated with both mortality and BMI. Despite recent advances, …

Digital Health Interventions Incorporating Behavior Change Techniques and Gamification for Bladder Health in Adults Aged 50 Years and Older: Rapid Review

Oscar Aguila-Gimeno, Norina Gasteiger, Emma Stanmore, Marius Brazaitis, Rima Solianik, Erika Karkauskiene, Laura Jarutienė, Júlia Romeu-Busquets, Javier Jerez-Roig

Abstract Background Urinary incontinence (UI) is the most prevalent pelvic floor dysfunction, with incidence increasing with age. Numerous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of pelvic floor exercises in improving UI. However, access to pelvic floor treatment remains limited due to lengthy waiting lists and poor adherence to prescribed exercises. Digital solutions incorporating behavior change techniques (BCTs), including gamification elements, may support self-management of bladder health for individuals a …

Societal Impact Statement Soil is a vital resource for life on Earth. Although many soils are degraded, societal awareness of soil‐related issues is limited. To highlight soil as a key resource and fascinating study system, we initiated a citizen science project together with 1000 participants investigating soil health across Switzerland using buried cotton underpants. The degree of underpants decomposition was interpreted as a measure for soil biological activity and soil health. This work demonstrates that underw …

“I have sixty people apply for a job”: A qualitative exploration of how recruiters approach employment decisions about new graduate dietitians

Henriette G. Ryding, Lana J. Mitchell, Lauren T. Williams

Abstract Aims The increasing number of new graduates in recent decades has intensified competition for dietetics positions in Australia. While literature is emerging on the job‐seeking experiences of new graduates, the voices of those recruiting and employing dietitians have been under‐researched. This study explored recruiter views and attitudes towards the employability (employment potential) of new graduate dietitians, including use of tools such as ePortfolios and their impact on employment decision‐making.

<b>Exercise-induced irisin–BDNF signaling in aging: implications for cognitive decline, sarcopenia, and neurodegeneration. A narrative review</b>

Emine Merve Ersever

Age-related cognitive decline is closely associated with diminished neuroplasticity and disrupted neurotrophic signaling. Exercise is a potent modulator of the irisin–BDNF axis, a molecular pathway with emerging relevance to healthy aging, neuroprotection, and the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases in older adults. Through this analysys the author aimed to review evidence on the effects of different exercise modalities — with emphasis on aging populations — on the PGC-1α–FNDC5–irisin–BDNF signaling pathway, a …

From molecular decline to regeneration failure: seed aging in European beech ( Fagus sylvatica ) challenges the conservation of forest reproductive material

Elwira Nawrocka, Hanna Fuchs, Ewelina Ratajczak

Abstract European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) is a keystone species in temperate forests in Central and Western Europe. However, its regeneration is increasingly constrained by erratic seed production, climate variability, and poor storage of its partially desiccation sensitive seeds. Rapid loss of viability during seed storage poses a major obstacle to the conservation. This review synthesizes current knowledge of the physiological, biochemical, and epigenetic processes involved in the aging of beech seeds. Oxidati …

Two serial MoCA assessments may support biomarker-sparing triage between Parkinson’s disease/Lewy body dementia and frontotemporal dementia: a progressive inclusion analysis of 1,129 participants

Wei Lin, Sanjeet S. Grewal, Richard W. Byrne

Reliable differentiation of Parkinson’s disease/Lewy body dementia (PD/LBD) from frontotemporal dementia (FTD) affects treatment strategy and clinical trial eligibility, yet confirmatory biomarker testing remains costly and unevenly available. Whether routine cognitive trajectories can support testing prioritization has not been systematically quantified. We performed a progressive inclusion analysis of 1,129 National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center participants with PD/LBD ( n = 385) or FTD ( n = 744) to determine …

Practical Long-Term Oven-Aging Protocols for Balanced Mix Design: From Mixture Design to Production

Ilker Boz, Elie Y. Hajj, Jhony Habbouche, Stacey Diefenderfer

The implementation of balanced mix design (BMD) frameworks by state highway agencies has increased the emphasis on performance-indicative tests for asphalt mixture design and production. However, although short-term oven aging (STOA) is routinely applied to simulate production and early-life conditions, long-term oven aging (LTOA) methods remain underutilized owing to their logistical complexity. To address this gap, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) evaluated streamlined LTOA protocols for dense-gra …

Mapping and modulating brain dynamics in aging and neurodegeneration with electroencephalography and integrated neurotechnologies in primates

Ankur Gupta, Yulia Dembitskaya, Anton Pushkarev, Alexander Popov

Non-human primates (NHPs) provide an essential translational platform for investigating neural mechanisms underlying brain aging and neurodegenerative diseases. Their neuroanatomical organization, cortical complexity, and cognitive capacities share close parallels with those of humans, enabling a degree of experimental precision that rodent models cannot achieve. Electroencephalography (EEG) offers a non-invasive method for monitoring neuronal population activity with high temporal resolution, capturing oscillatory …

Jihoon Kim, Keisei Kosaki, Shoya Mori, Masahiro Matsui, Masaki Yoshioka, Koichiro Oka, Seiji Maeda, Yoshio Nakata, Makoto Kuro-o, Kunihiro Yamagata

Abstract Background Elevated serum uric acid (UA) level is a major health risk, and its accumulation is exacerbated by impaired renal function. Physical activity is a modifiable determinant of serum UA levels. This study used an isotemporal substitution model to examine the associations of reallocating time between activity behaviors with serum UA levels in middle-aged and older adults with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods A total of 294 middle-aged and older adults with and without CKD (45–85 year …
