Lifestyle empowerment for Alzheimer's prevention prescribed by physicians: Methods and adaptations to COVID-19.

The health care system is insufficiently capitalizing on the benefits of physical exercise in America's aging population. Few tools exist to help clinicians incorporate physical activity into their clinical care, and barriers limit older adults from initiating and maintaining exercise programs. The Lifestyle Empowerment for Alzheimer's Prevention (LEAP! Rx) Program has been designed to support providers and participants in lifestyle change.

Capturing Successful Aging in Daily Life: Exploring the Intensive Longitudinal Findings From a U.S. National Sample.

Background And Objectives: Thus far, successful aging has been conceptualized and operationalized as a relatively static construct. Investigating daily successful aging provides a dynamic approach highlighting how successful aging can be achieved through everyday actions, giving older adults a stronger sense of control over their lives.

Research Design And Methods: We used 8-day diary data from Midlife in the United States 2's U.

Fragment-based drug discovery and biological evaluation of novel cannabinol-based inhibitors of oxytosis/ferroptosis for neurological disorders.

The oxytosis/ferroptosis regulated cell death pathway is an emerging field of research owing to its pathophysiological relevance to a wide range of neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases and traumatic brain injury. Developing novel neurotherapeutics to inhibit oxytosis/ferroptosis offers exciting opportunities for the treatment of these and other neurological diseases. Previously, we discovered cannabinol (CBN) as a unique, potent inhibitor of oxytosis/ferroptosis by targeting mitochondria and modulating their function in neuronal cells.

Community Support for Harm Reduction and Treatment of Opioid Use Disorder.

As the opioid epidemic continues, availability of evidence-based strategies for harm reduction and treatment in communities is critical to reduce overdose and other consequences of opioid use disorder. Community members' support of harm reduction and treatment services is needed for new programs and to maintain existent programs. This study sought to understand beliefs and attitudes associated with support for three community-based strategies to address opioid misuse and addiction: naloxone, needle exchange, and medication-assisted treatment.
