Article Synopsis
- Top athletes have highly disciplined lifestyles with strict training, nutrition, and mental preparation starting from a young age.
- Recent studies indicate that active individuals experience slowed epigenetic aging, prompting research into whether Olympic champions benefit similarly.
- Findings show Olympic champions have slower epigenetic aging compared to the general population, with specific trends in medal winners and differences between types of athletes, highlighting the genetic impacts of rigorous exercise on aging.
Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluates a care program (DWM and PM+) for healthcare workers in Spain who are experiencing psychological distress, focusing on the context, implementation outcomes, and mechanisms of action.
- - Mixed methods were used for data collection, including quantitative data from a randomized control trial and qualitative insights from interviews and focus groups, revealing both barriers (like stigma) and enabling factors (like flexibility in interventions).
- - Results indicate that the program was feasible with good participant acceptance, and it highlights the need for increased mental health awareness and support to improve future implementations in similar settings.
Aging is the greatest risk factor for numerous diseases and mortality, and establishing geroprotective interventions targeting aging is required. Previous studies have suggested that healthy dietary patterns, such as the Mediterranean diet, are associated with delayed biological aging; however, these associations depend on nationality and sex. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between dietary patterns identified through principal component analysis and biological aging in older men of Japan, one of the countries with the longest life expectancies.

The specialized technique of islet isolation limits widespread TPIAT use. We hypothesized that remote islet isolation provides satisfactory islet yield and perioperative outcomes.

Objectives: Our study intends to present the effective management of chronic neuralgias in the lower extremities through peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS).
Setting: This retrospective study included 21 patients who received a permanent Curonix Freedom® PNS System for treating chronic pain in the lower extremities.
