Background: Emerging research suggests adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have long-lasting impacts on adult brain health, but few studies investigate these effects in older adults. The present study examined ACEs and their relationships to late-life cognitive and mental health among older adults living in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Method: 102 cognitively unimpaired older adults [mean age = 75, 58% female, 75% White, 25% Latino, mean education = 17 years] were enrolled in UC San Francisco's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center.

Objective: To compare the accuracy of four published reference standards for the umbilical artery pulsatility index (UA-PI) in predicting small-for-gestational age (SGA), adverse neonatal outcomes and obstetric complications in pregnancies at risk for fetal growth restriction.
Methods: This was a secondary analysis of a prospective study of singleton pregnancies that underwent fetal growth assessment by ultrasound between 26 and 36 weeks' gestation. Pregnancies with estimated fetal weight or abdominal circumference < 20 percentile with UA-PI measurements available were included.
Magnetic composites (MC) prepared from magnetite nanoparticles (MNP) and activated carbon from bovine bone (AC) in different proportions (75/25, 50/50, and 25/75) were used as catalysts in the photo-Fenton process to degrade methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution. The materials were prepared by the citrate-nitrate sol-gel synthesis method and used as catalysts in the photo-Fenton process. The photocatalytic tests were performed in a cylindrical reactor with a 4.
