Lobar Cerebral Microbleeds Are Associated With Cognitive Decline in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Pengfei Shao, Hengheng Xu, Xiaoning Sheng, Ruomeng Qin, Junyi Ma, Yishan Luo, Allan Lee, Lin Shi, Lili Huang, Yue Cheng, Hui Zhao, Yun Xu

Summary: This study found that cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were associated with cognitive impairment, with lobar CMBs potentially serving as an early warning signal for cognitive dysfunction.

TOMM40-APOE haplotypes are associated with cognitive decline in non-demented Blacks

Kacie D. Deters, Elizabeth C. Mormino, Lei Yu, Michael W. Lutz, David A. Bennett, Lisa L. Barnes

Summary: The study investigated the effects of APOE-TOMM40-'523 haplotypes on cognitive decline in non-demented non-Hispanic Blacks (NHB) and compared these effects to non-Hispanic Whites (NHW). Results showed that the '523-S/S haplotype had different effects on cognitive decline in NHB depending on APOE allele, and that differences in the effect of epsilon 4-'523-S in NHB may explain previous mixed findings on epsilon 4 and decline in this population.

Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer's Disease Is Not Associated with APOE

Ioanna Katzourou, Ganna Leonenko, Dobril Ivanov, Alun Meggy, Rachel Marshall, Rebecca Sims, Julie Williams, Peter Holmans, Valentina Escott-Price

Summary: This study aimed to explore the genetic architecture of cognitive decline in AD patients, and found no significant association between APOE ε2 or ε4 alleles and the rate of cognitive decline. Further exploration is needed to uncover possible genetic variants that affect the rate of decline in patients with AD.

Are social isolation and loneliness associated with cognitive decline in ageing?

Margalida Cardona, Pilar Andres

Summary: Objective: This scoping review aimed to investigate the link between social isolation, loneliness, and cognition in cognitively healthy older adults. Results showed that both social isolation and loneliness were associated with poor cognition in ageing, with depression as a possible mediator between loneliness and poor cognition. Some studies also suggested bidirectional relationship between social isolation, loneliness and cognitive decline.

Lower cerebral blood flow predicts cognitive decline in patients with vascular cognitive impairment

Maud M. van Dinther, Astrid E. Hooghiemstra, Esther Bron, Adriaan E. Versteeg, Anna Leeuwis, Tugba E. Kalay, Justine Moonen, Sanne H. Kuipers, Walter Backes, Jacobus F. A. Jansen, Mathias J. P. van Osch, Geert-Jan Biessels, Julie J. Staals, Robert van Oostenbrugge, Heart-Brain Connection consortium

Summary: Impaired cerebral blood flow (CBF) at baseline is associated with faster cognitive decline in VCI and normal aging. Our results suggest that low CBF precedes and contributes to the development of vascular cognitive impairment. CBF determined by ASL might be used as a biomarker to monitor disease progression or treatment responses in VCI.

Reduced social activities and networks, but not social support, are associated with cognitive decline among older chinese adults: A prospective study

Zili Fan, Xiaozhen Lv, Lihui Tu, Ming Zhang, Xin Yu, Huali Wang

Summary: The study found that social relationships, social activities, and social networks have a protective effect against cognitive decline in older adults, while social support did not show a significant association. This suggests that the structural dimensions of social relationships may be more important than functional dimensions in preserving cognitive health among elderly Chinese individuals.

Mentally Challenging Occupations Are Associated With More Rapid Cognitive Decline at Later Stages of Cognitive Aging

Jinshil Hyun, Mindy J. Katz, Richard B. Lipton, Martin J. Sliwinski

Summary: Engaging in mentally challenging occupations may lead to faster rates of cognitive decline, but the protective effect on cognition persists for decades after retirement.

Summary: The study identified impaired neurovascular coupling in PD patients with mild cognitive impairment, specifically in visual-spatial cortices, which could provide insight into the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying cognitive deficits in PD.

Senescence: why and where selection gradients might not decline with age

Mark Roper, Pol Capdevila, Roberto Salguero-Gomez

Summary: Ageing patterns across the tree of life are more diverse than previously thought, and predicting these patterns requires a deeper understanding of how ecological and evolutionary factors influence age-related changes in mortality and reproduction. Key parameters such as population structure and reproductive value are crucial for understanding selection gradients and therefore senescence. Growth form, individual trade-offs, stage structure, and social interactions can all contribute to varying distributions of these parameters, allowing for the explanation of negligible and negative senescence within the same evolutionary framework as classical senescence.

Cerebral Microbleeds Are Associated with Impairments in Executive Function and Processing Speed

Xuanting Li, Junliang Yuan, Wei Qin, Lei Yang, Shuna Yang, Yue Li, Wenli Hu

Summary: The study found that cerebral microbleeds (CMB) are associated with impairment in global cognitive function as well as all tested cognitive subdomains, with the strongest effect seen in tests relying on executive functioning. Regardless of the location of CMB, patients with CMB showed significant declines in cognitive function.

Differences in Subjective and Objective Cognitive Decline Outcomes Are Associated with Modifiable Protective Factors: A 4-Year Longitudinal Study

Osamu Katayama, Sangyoon Lee, Seongryu Bae, Keitaro Makino, Ippei Chiba, Kenji Harada, Masanori Morikawa, Kouki Tomida, Hiroyuki Shimada

Summary: Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) in older adults is associated with an increased risk of dementia, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. This study found that older adults with SCD have more modifiable protective factors against dementia and a lower risk of developing objective cognitive decline. These findings highlight the importance of addressing modifiable factors in preventing dementia.

Summary: This study found that there is an association between cognitive decline and perceived stress in midlife, with higher levels of stress leading to greater decline in cognitive ability.

Depressive Symptoms Imputed Across the Life Course Are Associated with Cognitive Impairment and Cognitive Decline

Willa D. Brenowitz, Adina Zeki Al Hazzouri, Eric Vittinghoff, Sherita H. Golden, Annette L. Fitzpatrick, Kristine Yaffe

Summary: This study examined data from 4 prospective cohorts to estimate depressive symptoms trajectories across different adult life stages, finding that depressive symptoms in early adulthood may independently contribute to cognitive impairment risk, regardless of mid- or late-life depressive symptoms.

Cognitive Decline and BPSD Are Concomitant with Autophagic and Synaptic Deficits Associated with G9a Alterations in Aged SAMP8 Mice

Summary: This study investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying the behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) patients. It suggests that epigenetic modulation, particularly through G9a methyltransferase and its histone mark (H3K9me2), plays a key role in shaping learning and memory. The study also reveals the association between increased levels of G9a, autophagic deficits, and alterations in synaptic plasticity, providing further understanding of the cognitive decline and BPSD exhibited by the AD model.

Feasibility of continuous monitoring of vital signs in surgical patients on a general ward: an observational cohort study

Jobbe P. L. Leenen, Eline M. Dijkman, Joris D. van Dijk, Henderik L. van Westreenen, Cor Kalkman, Lisette Schoonhoven, Gijsbert A. Patijn

Summary: Continuous monitoring of vital signs with a wearable device was well accepted by patients, but nurses' ratings were highly variable, resulting in on average neutral attitude towards remote monitoring. Our results suggest it is feasible to monitor vital signs continuously on general wards, although acceptability of the device among nurses needs further improvement.

Summary: This study aimed to explore methods to summarize continuously measured vital sign data and evaluate their association with respiratory insufficiency in COVID-19 patients at the general ward. The results showed that the mean of vital signs had a relatively strong association with respiratory insufficiency, and the strength of associations varied depending on the vital sign, timeframe, and lead.
