Recommendations and quality of multimorbidity guidelines: A systematic review
CONCLUSION: The methodological and reporting quality of multimorbidity guidelines were suboptimal. The recommendations of these guidelines covered primarily the management process of multimorbid patients. Future guidelines should pay more attention to the scientific quality of the development methodology and the feasibility of implementing the guidelines in practice.
Plasma proteomics-based brain aging signature and incident dementia risk
Investigating brain-enriched proteins with machine learning methods may enable a brain-specific understanding of brain aging and provide insights into the molecular mechanisms and pathological pathways of dementia. The study aims to analyze associations of brain-specific plasma proteomic aging signature with risks of incident dementia. In 45,429 dementia-free UK Biobank participants at baseline, we generated a brain-specific biological age using 63 brain-enriched plasma proteins with machine...
HSF-1 promotes longevity through ubiquilin-1-dependent mitochondrial network remodelling
Increased activity of the heat shock factor, HSF-1, suppresses proteotoxicity and enhances longevity. However, the precise mechanisms by which HSF-1 promotes lifespan are unclear. Using an RNAi screen, we identify ubiquilin-1 (ubql-1) as an essential mediator of lifespan extension in worms overexpressing hsf-1. We find that hsf-1 overexpression leads to transcriptional downregulation of all components of the CDC-48-UFD-1-NPL-4 complex, which is central to both endoplasmic reticulum and...
Factors associated with a high level of suicide risk among patients with late-life depression: a cross-sectional study from a tertiary psychiatric hospital in Guangzhou China
CONCLUSION: This study found that LLD patients with severe depression-anxiety, low activation, normal cognitive function, involuntary admission, and strong objective support exhibited a high level of suicide risk. These patients should receive intensified monitoring and comprehensive measures should be implemented to prevent the occurrence of suicidal behaviors during hospitalization.
