Alzheimer's disease (AD) and osteoporosis (OP) pose distinct but interconnected health challenges, both significantly impacting the aging population. AD, a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by memory impairment and cognitive decline, is primarily associated with the accumulation of abnormally folded amyloid beta (Aβ) peptides and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain. OP, a skeletal disorder marked by low bone mineral density, involves dysregulation of bone remodeling and is associated with an increased risk of fractures.

Although the prevalence of infection has decreased among adults, it is still very common. Approximately 90% of gastric adenocarcinomas are associated with infection.

Background: Meniscus tears are common, occurring acutely during sports or as degenerative tears with aging. Limited information exists about the public's understanding of these injuries and their management.
Hypothesis/purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the public's baseline understanding of meniscus tear management and assess the effectiveness of an educational intervention to improve their understanding.
Postoperative delirium is the most common postsurgical complication in older adults and is associated with an increased risk of long-term cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias (ADRD). However, the neurological basis of this increased risk- whether postoperative delirium unmasks latent preoperative pathology or leads to AD-relevant pathology after perioperative brain injury-remains unclear. Recent advancements in neuroimaging techniques now enable the detection of subtle brain features or damage that may underlie clinical symptoms.

Objective: Epilepsy is considered as a network disorder of interacting brain regions. The propagation of local epileptic activity from the seizure onset zone (SOZ) along neuronal networks determines the semiology of seizures. However, in highly interconnected brain regions such as the insula, the association between the SOZ and semiology is blurred necessitating invasive stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG).
