The last few years have seen a steady rise in numbers of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), mainly because of the increased prevalence of older patients. Today, most new diagnoses of CKD are made in patients belonging to the large subgroup of subjects aged 65 years or over, who often present with mild-to-moderate CKD. Given the recent rise in numbers of elderly CKD patients referred to American renal clinics, the American Society of Nephrology has recently endorsed a study group dedicated to this group of patients, Geriatric Nephrology, with the aim of increasing knowledge on CKD in the elderly and subsequently improving the clinical management of older patients. Indeed, several questions remain open and further studies are required to clarify diagnostic criteria for 'true' CKD in the elderly and the associated 'real' clinical implications in terms of hard outcomes. This review aims to address a hot topic through evaluation of the most recent and influential studies regarding the relationship between ageing and CKD.

Study Question: What is the prevalence and trend of infertility among individuals of childbearing age at global, regional, and national levels by sex and socio-demographic index (SDI) across 21 regions and 204 countries and territories?
Summary Answer: Our findings reveal a growing prevalence of infertility among individuals aged 15-49 years worldwide from 1990 to 2021, with an expected continued increase through 2040.
What Is Known Already: Infertility is a persistent global reproductive health issue, leading to significant societal and health consequences. No study has specifically described the current prevalence of infertility, its secular trend, or the variations between regions or countries with different SDI levels.

Parenthood inevitably includes caring for a child suffering from mild-moderate illness requiring access to health care. Most childhood illnesses can be managed in the community, and parents are encouraged to attend the most suitable primary care service for their needs. Yet the number of children visiting emergency departments with non-urgent illness continues to rise annually, with child attendance representing over 25% of the total workload.

Background: Alzheimer's disease is defined by the pathological aggregation of amyloid-beta and hyperphosphorylated tau. AD patients often exhibit other symptoms like metabolic and sleep dysfunction. Currently, it is unclear if impairments are a cause or consequence of Aβ or tau aggregation.

Background: The Brazilian population has been experiencing an increase in the number of older adults, with a simultaneous rise in the incidence of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Telomeres are structures located at the ends of chromosomes that maintain the structural integrity of the chromosome. There is a shortage of studies correlating telomeres and cognition.

We performed the first simulations of accretion onto the compact objects in the Reissner-Nordström (RN) space-time. The results obtained in general relativity are representative of those for spherically symmetric naked singularities and black holes in a number of modified gravity theories. A possible application of these calculations is to the active galactic nuclei with their powerful jets and outflows.
