Article Synopsis
- Cognitive frailty, a growing public health concern, is characterized by the co-occurrence of physical frailty and cognitive impairment without a dementia diagnosis.
- A study using data from 17,705 Chinese adults aged 45 and older found that chronic pain is linked to a higher risk of developing cognitive frailty over time.
- Managing chronic pain is crucial to reducing the risk of cognitive frailty, which can improve the quality of life for older adults and lessen the economic strain on families and society.
Article Synopsis
- Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is a deadly and diverse liver tumor, with limited treatment options, making it crucial to study its metabolic characteristics for better understanding and potential therapies.
- Researchers analyzed 116 iCCA samples using a combination of genetic and protein data to classify metabolic subtypes and assess how these relate to patient survival and tumor behavior.
- They identified three distinct metabolic subtypes (S1-S3) with varying outcomes, finding that the S2 subtype, which has the poorest prognosis, showed specific mutations and markers, highlighting diacylglycerol kinase α (DGKA) as a promising target for treatment.
