Researchers examine the potential contribution of Chlamydia pneumoniae and SARS-CoV-2 infections to Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis, focusing on neuroinflammatory mechanisms and genetic factors such as APOEε4.
Gabapentin use was associated with a 29% increased risk of dementia and an 85% increased risk of mild cognitive impairment within 10 years of pain diagnosis.
A multiyear study of midlife women found that both age and reproductive stage influence how anger is experienced, with older women reporting more control but less expression of anger over time.
Researchers find that hearing aids and cochlear implants improve social quality of life and reduce perceived social handicap in adults with hearing loss.
Deprescribing interventions reduce the number of medications taken by older adults but show no clear effect on hospitalization, mortality, or quality of life—and appear to be safe.
Large language models used in clinical decision-making may offer different treatment recommendations depending on how a patient writes their message—even when the medical facts remain unchanged.
A behavioral task asking older adults to recall daily events before sleep was linked to better memory recognition the next morning, showing potential as a low-risk strategy to support cognitive health in aging and early Alzheimer’s disease.
A new study found that higher triglyceride-glucose index levels, a marker of insulin resistance, were linked to faster cognitive decline in early Alzheimer's, suggesting potential for improved risk assessment in clinical settings.
