Initiation of Psychotropic Drugs in Spouses of Patients With Early-Onset Alzheimer's Disease: A Matched Cohort Study.

Int J Geriatr Psychiatry

January 2025

Department of Pharmacoepidemiology, Graduate School of Medicine and Public Health, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan.

Objectives: The diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD) can cause emotional stress not only to the patients themselves but also to their spouses. This study aimed to evaluate the risk of psychiatric disorders in spouses of EOAD patients, using psychotropic drug initiation as a surrogate indicator.

Methods: A cohort study was conducted using a Japanese claims database, with spouses of EOAD patients (exposed spouses) matched with spouses of non-EOAD individuals (reference spouses) up to a 1:10 ratio.

Nowadays, extracellular vesicles (EVs) such as exosomes participate in cell-cell communication and gain attention as a new approach for cell-free therapies. Recently, various studies have demonstrated the therapeutic ability of exosomes, while the biological effect of human endometrial stem cell (hEnSC)-derived small EVs such as exosomes is still unclear. Herein, we obtained small EVs from hEnSC and indicated that these small EVs activate the vital cell signaling pathway and progress neurite outgrowth in PC-12 cell lines.

Objective: To investigate the biodynamics of human-exoskeleton interactions during patient handling tasks using a subject-specific modeling approach.

Background: Exoskeleton technology holds promise for mitigating musculoskeletal disorders caused by manual handling and most alarmingly by patient handling jobs. A deeper, more unified understanding of the biomechanical effects of exoskeleton use calls for advanced subject-specific models of complex, dynamic human-exoskeleton interactions.
