ESICM Consensus-Based Recommendations for the Management of Very Old Patients in Intensive Care

ESICM Consensus: Management and Challenges of Very Old Patients in Critical Care Academic Background With the global aging population, the proportion of “very old patients” (aged 80 years and above) in intensive care units (ICUs) is rapidly increasing. This group is characterized by functional impairments and a high prevalence of complex multimorbi...

Protective Role of Parenthood on Age-Related Brain Function in Mid- to Late-Life

The Protective Role of Parenthood on Brain Function Academic Background Parenthood is a universal stage in human life that profoundly impacts both the body and mind, and may also have long-term effects on brain function. However, current research on the long-term impact of parenthood on brain function, especially its relationship with brain aging, ...

Temporal Autocorrelation is Predictive of Age—An Extensive MEG Time-Series Analysis

Brain Age Prediction Study Based on MEG Time Series Academic Background With the extension of human lifespan, understanding changes in the brain throughout the life cycle has become increasingly important. The structure and function of the brain undergo significant changes with age, which not only affect cognitive functions but are also closely rel...

Ketones in Cellular Physiology: Metabolic, Signaling, and Therapeutic Advances

Effects of Exogenous β-Hydroxybutyrate on BDNF Signaling, Cognition, and Amyloid Precursor Protein Processing in Humans with Type 2 Diabetes and Insulin-Resistant Rodents Academic Background Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have a significantly increased risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), later in li...

Senescent Myoblasts Exhibit an Altered Exometabolome Linked to Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype Signaling

Research Report on Changes in the Metabolome of Senescent Myoblasts Research Background As age increases, the function of skeletal muscle gradually deteriorates, a phenomenon closely related to the senescence of muscle stem cells (satellite cells). Satellite cells play a key role in muscle injury repair. However, during the aging process, the funct...

Assessment of Distraction and the Impact on Technology Acceptance of Robot Monitoring Behaviour in Older Adults Care

The Impact of Robot Monitoring Behavior on Distraction and Technology Acceptance in Older Adults Academic Background With the intensification of societal aging, the demand for elderly care is increasing. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, psychological and physiological health issues faced by older adults due to social isolation have become m...

Recommendations for Implementing the HEvolution Alliance for Aging Biomarkers Initiative

Promoting Healthy Longevity: Implementation Recommendations for the Hevolution Alliance for Aging Biomarkers Initiative Academic Background and Research Motivation With the intensification of global population aging, human life expectancy has significantly increased, but the growth in healthy life expectancy (i.e., years lived in good health) has b...

Not Fleeting but Lasting: Limited Influence of Aging on Implicit Adaptive Motor Learning and its Short-Term Retention

The Impact of Aging on Implicit Motor Learning and Short-term Memory: A Study Based on Force Field Adaptation Research Background Motor adaptation is the process by which the brain adjusts motor strategies in response to environmental changes, typically involving two mechanisms: explicit learning and implicit learning. Explicit learning is a rapid,...

Achieving Healthy Aging Through Gut Microbiota-Directed Dietary Intervention: Focusing on Microbial Biomarkers and Host Mechanisms

Achieving Healthy Aging through Gut Microbiota-Directed Dietary Intervention: Focusing on Microbial Biomarkers and Host Mechanisms Academic Background With the intensification of global population aging, preventing age-related diseases and extending healthy life expectancy have become critical issues in global public health. Gut microbiota has been...

Association of Objective Subtle Cognitive Difficulties with Amyloid-β and Tau Deposition in Alzheimer's Disease

Research Progress on Early Alzheimer’s Stages: Focusing on Differences Between Objective Subtle Cognitive Difficulties and Subjective Cognitive Decline Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a critical topic in modern neuroscience and geriatric medicine research. Its pathological process begins years before the onset of clinical symptoms. Increasing evidence ...
