Daily activities and suspected dementia among community-dwelling older adults: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Dementia is undiagnosed among many older adults, and more than half the people in local communities live with symptoms of dementia are not properly treated.

Objective: The study aims to explore the relationship between decline of daily activities and the incidence of suspected dementia.

Methods: A two-stage sampling method was used to conduct a multicenter cross-sectional survey.

Trends in the epidemiology of anxiety disorders from 1990 to 2021: A global, regional, and national analysis with a focus on the sociodemographic index.

Background: Anxiety disorders are widespread across the world. Understanding the global burden of anxiety disorders in the past and future can provide important references for optimizing prevention and control strategies in healthcare systems.

Methods: The estimation of anxiety disorders in the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 using systematic review was conducted to describe incidence, prevalence and disability adjusted life years (DALYs) in 204 countries and regions from 1990 to 2021.

Synergistic effects of immunotherapy and adjunctive therapies in prostate cancer management.

In recent years, cancer immunotherapy has received widespread attention due to significant tumor clearance in some malignancies. Various immunotherapy approaches, including vaccines, immune checkpoint inhibitors, oncolytic virotherapy, bispecific T cell engagers, and adoptive T cell transfer, have completed or are undergoing clinical trials for prostate cancer. Despite immune checkpoint blockade's extraordinary effectiveness in treating a variety of cancers, targeted prostate cancer treatment using the immune system is still in its infancy.

Comparison of Population Pharmacokinetic Modeling and Machine Learning Approaches for Predicting Voriconazole Trough Concentrations in Critically Ill Patients.

Despite the widespread use of voriconazole in antifungal treatment, its high pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic variability may lead to suboptimal efficacy, especially in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Machine learning (ML), an artificial intelligence modeling approach, is increasingly being applied to personalized medicine. The effectiveness of ML models for predicting voriconazole blood concentrations in ICU patients, compared to traditional population pharmacokinetics (popPK) models, has been uncertain until now.

Enhancement of cold tolerance in tea plants (Camellia sinensis) by glycine betaine accumulation through CsBADH overexpression.

Cold stress significantly limits the growth and yield of tea plants (Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze), particularly in northern China, may lead to huge economic losses.
