Summary: Protein misfolding diseases encompass a variety of disorders, with type two diabetes potentially contributing to the sporadic forms of neurodegenerative diseases. Multiple misfolded proteins in the pancreas, including alpha-synuclein and tau, may play crucial roles in the complex pathophysiology of diabetes and the development of insulin resistance in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. This study reveals the co-occurrence of amylin, pancreatic alpha-synuclein, A beta, PrP, and tau in the pancreas, shedding light on common pathological pathways between neurodegenerative diseases and diabetes.

Summary: The increasing prevalence of dementia poses a threat to the capacity of health and social service systems to provide long-term care support at the territorial level. In both rural and urban areas, specific family caregivers (gendered care) are responsible for the daily care of their relatives. The study reveals the good psychosocial adjustment of caregivers of relatives with dementia but highlights the negative impacts of caregiving in the domestic, relational, and psychological domains. It also identifies the feminization of psychological distress in rural areas and the need for contextualized actions to address territorial and gender differences in coping with and adjusting to care.
