Engagement in moderate-intensity physical activity supports overnight memory retention in older adults.

Preserving the ability to vividly recall emotionally rich experiences contributes to quality of life in older adulthood. While prior works suggest that moderate-intensity physical activity (MPA) may bolster memory, it is unclear whether this extends to emotionally salient memories consolidated during sleep. In the current study, older adults (mean age = 72.

Epilepsy and Neuropsychology.

Neuropsychological evaluation is an essential component of clinical care for people with epilepsy and also has a specialized role in predicting cognitive outcome after epilepsy surgery. Neuropsychological research in the field of epilepsy has had a significant impact on our knowledge regarding memory and language systems, lateralization of cognitive functions, and the heterogeneity in cognitive phenotypes among people with epilepsy. Interventions that consider the impact of health disparities, cognition, psychological functioning, individual risk and resilience factors, and modifiable lifestyle factors, are critical for optimizing cognitive functioning, psychological health, and quality of life for people with epilepsy.

MoEDAL Search in the CMS Beam Pipe for Magnetic Monopoles Produced via the Schwinger Effect.

We report on a search for magnetic monopoles (MMs) produced in ultraperipheral Pb-Pb collisions during Run 1 of the LHC. The beam pipe surrounding the interaction region of the CMS experiment was exposed to 184.07  μb^{-1} of Pb-Pb collisions at 2.

Hypoxia within subcutaneously implanted macroencapsulation devices limits the viability and functionality of densely loaded islets.

Introduction: Subcutaneous macroencapsulation devices circumvent disadvantages of intraportal islet therapy. However, a curative dose of islets within reasonably sized devices requires dense cell packing. We measured internal PO2 of implanted devices, mathematically modeled oxygen availability within devices and tested the predictions with implanted devices containing densely packed human islets.
