Age differences were examined in affective processing, in the context of a visual search task. Young and older adults were faster to detect high arousal images compared with low arousal and neutral items. Younger adults were faster to detect positive high arousal targets compared with other categories. In contrast, older adults exhibited an overall detection advantage for emotional images compared with neutral images. Together, these findings suggest that older adults do not display valence-based effects on affective processing at relatively automatic stages.

Disparate X-linked retinoschisis phenotypes in fraternal twins with the same pathogenic variant in the gene.
Ophthalmic Genet
March 2025
Oxford Eye Hospital, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Oxford, UK.
Introduction: In X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS), the RS1 pathogenic variant and the patient's age might be the most important determinants of the XLRS phenotype. In this case report, we present fraternal twins with the same RS1 pathogenic mutation who were examined at the same age yet exhibited significantly different phenotypes.
Methods: This is a retrospective case report.
Perceptions About Care and Support Among Cancer Survivors With Severe Mental Health Conditions.
Psychooncology
March 2025
Faculty of Social Welfare and Health Sciences, School of Social Work, University of Haifa, Haifa, Israel.
Background: Research on the attitudes and support received by cancer survivors with preexisting severe mental health conditions (SMHC) from their families and oncology professionals is lacking.
Aims: To explore how individuals with SMHC perceive and experience family and oncology team attitudes and care.
Methods: Participants were 25 cancer survivors, 6 men and 18 women, aged 26-86 with preexisting SMHC.
Estimating Chronological Age From the Electrical Activity of the Brain: How EEG-Age Can Be Used as a Marker of General Brain Functioning.

With an aging global population, the number of older adults with age-related changes in the brain, including dementia, will continue to increase unless we can make progress in the early detection and treatment of such conditions. There is extensive literature on the effects of aging on the EEG, particularly a decline in the Peak Alpha Frequency (PAF), but here, in a reversal of convention, we used the EEG power-frequency spectrum to estimate chronological age. The motivation for this approach was that an individual's brain age might act as a proxy for their general brain functioning, whereby a discrepancy between chronological age and EEG age could prove clinically informative by implicating deleterious conditions.

Current processing techniques for harvesting DNA from osseous elements are destructive, and success rates vary widely. When skeletal elements are homogenized into a fine powder, endogenous DNA may be subjected to fragmentation, and the likelihood of introducing co-purified inhibitory substances to the sample increases. While a limited number of articles in the relevant literature have challenged the status quo of pulverization, powdering hard tissue samples before DNA isolation continues to be standard practice in the forensic and ancient DNA communities.

Introduction: Occupational therapy is underpinned by the belief that occupation facilitates health and wellbeing. However, evidence suggests that occupational therapists encounter challenges to implementing occupation-centred practice. The aim of this study was to investigate the uptake, acceptability and impact of a workplace intervention designed to enhance occupation-centred practice of occupational therapists in an acute adult physical context.
