Biomarkers.

Background: Subcortical ischemic vascular cognitive impairment (SIVCI) is the most common form of vascular cognitive impairment. Exercise is a potentially effective intervention for SIVCI. However, the mechanisms through which exercise promotes brain health and cognitive function are not well understood.

Dementia Care Research and Psychosocial Factors.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects over 55 million people worldwide and is characterized by abnormal deposition of amyloid-β and tau in the brain causing neuronal damage and disrupting transmission within brain circuits. Episodic memory loss, executive deficits, and depression are common symptoms arising from altered function in spatially distinct brain circuits that greatly contribute to disability. Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) can target these circuits and has shown promise to relieve specific symptoms.

Acute Kidney Injury and Outcomes in Infants, Children, and Adolescents, Supported With Extracorporeal Life Support for Cardiopulmonary Failure.

In neonatal and pediatric patients who require extracorporeal life support (ECLS), 60-70% develop acute kidney injury (AKI). Acute kidney injury has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality. We sought to describe our center's experience with AKI in patients requiring ECLS and its effect on outcomes.
