Andraž Dolar, Veno Kononenko, Valentina Perc, Damjana Drobne, Gabriela Kalčíková, Jernej Imperl, Tina Skalar, Ula Rozman, Branka Mušič, Anita Jemec Kokalj

ABSTRACT Despite the widespread presence of cigarette butts in the environment, the potential toxicological effects posed by microplastics (MPs) derived from them remain poorly understood. In this study, we compared the effects of MPs from conventional cigarette butts (cellulose acetate) and heated tobacco devices (cellulose acetate and polylactic acid film), the latter being under‐investigated. We also compared their effects before and after UV‐accelerated aging. The most notable change in chemical properties of M …

Hypertension

Blood Pressure Variability and Alzheimer Disease Biomarkers

Trevor Lohman, Isabel Sible, Yuan Ma, Niema M. Pahlevan, Daniel A. Nation

Increased blood pressure variability (BPV) is associated with increased risk for dementia, independent of hypertension. The increased risk for dementia associated with high BPV includes probable Alzheimer disease (AD) dementia, but high BPV is also associated with increased risk of stroke and cerebral small vessel disease, which are commonly comorbid with AD. This raises the question of whether high BPV is independently predictive of AD-specific pathophysiology and neurodegeneration, which could have significant cl …

A “Lightweight” Support Circle: How Urban Chinese Older Adults Reconfigure Online Peripheral Ties Through Low-Cost Digital Practices

Huijun Wu, Yan Ge

Although peripheral ties are essential for social integration, traditional aging theories suggest that they naturally atrophy as older adults withdraw from physical social settings and prioritize intimate relationships. Digital technologies, however, offer new affordances that enable older adults to actively sustain such ties. Through six online focus groups with 32 older Chinese WeChat users (aged 55–74), this study examines how older adults manage their peripheral networks in the digital environment. Three findin …

Silent neurovestibular frailty: a conceptual model integrating vestibular dysfunction, dual-task mobility and cognitive load as candidate contributors to falls, delirium and functional decline in older adults

Samaher Mohammed Alowaydhah, Ugwu Okechukwu Paul-Chima, Abdulmajeed Alfayyadh, Sulaiman Alanazi

Falls, delirium and functional decline are commonly treated as distinct geriatric outcomes despite sharing vulnerabilities in sensory integration, gait regulation, attention and physiological reserve. We propose silent neurovestibular frailty as a conceptual model describing a latent ageing phenotype in which vestibular dysfunction, dual-task gait deterioration and sensitivity to cognitive load interact before overt disability becomes apparent. This construct is presented as a hypothesis-generating framework rather …
