Ageing and longevity is unquestioningly complex. Several thoughts and mechanisms of ageing such as pathways involved in oxidative stress, lipid and glucose metabolism, inflammation, DNA damage and repair, growth hormone axis and insulin-like growth factor (GH/IGF), and environmental exposure have been proposed. Also, some theories of ageing were introduced. To date, the most promising leads for longevity are caloric restriction, particularly target of rapamycin (TOR), sirtuins, hexarelin and hormetic responses. This review is an attempt to analyze the mechanisms and theories of ageing and achieving longevity.

The cognitive neuroscience of human aging seeks to identify neural mechanisms behind the commonalities and individual differences in age-related behavioral changes. This goal has been pursued predominantly through structural or "task-free" resting-state functional neuroimaging. The former has elucidated the material foundations of behavioral decline, and the latter has provided key insight into how functional brain networks change with age.

Background: The demand for frailty care is continuously increasing in hospitalized tumor patients with the aging of the population. Nurses are the primary care providers of hospitalized tumor patients with frailty but research on exploring their behavior and associated factors is limited. This study aims to describe the current situation of frailty care behaviors in oncology nurses and to explore the factors influencing frailty care behaviors.

Background: In the face of increasing Mild Cognitive Impairment(MCI) and Dementia rates among aging populations, understanding the factors shaping the non-normal cognitive decline is crucial. Leveraging the Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) data, this study has a dual focus. (1) It utilizes CDR to aid early MCI diagnosis by investigating factors contributing to transition from Questionable- to Low- AD.

Background: Alzheimer disease (AD) is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disorder that presents with cognitive dysfunction, memory loss, language difficulties, emotion dysregulation, and the eventual loss of motor function and death. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shows early atrophy in the medial temporal lobes, which then spreads to the posterior temporal lobe, parietal lobe, and finally the frontal lobe with relative sparing of the sensorimotor cortex. Social disadvantage has been shown to have potentially additive impacts on aging trajectories.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a clinical cognitive deficit that is not severe enough to meet the threshold for Alzheimer's Disease (AD); however, MCI patients have an increased risk of developing AD. Therefore, a diagnosis of MCI may represent a critical turning point in the trajectory of developing AD. Establishing neurological signatures of MCI using network control theory (NCT) may allow more informed diagnosis, and an understanding of its underlying mechanisms could pave the way for novel treatments.
