Background: A positive effect of the effect of a 3-month oral spermidine intake on memory performance has already been demonstrated. The continuation of this study aimed to examine whether there could be observed an improvement in memory performance after one year.
Method: 45 residents of the nursing home "Gepflegt Wohnen" in Hart bei Graz, Styria, Austria, were given a daily dose of 3.3 mg spermidine in their diet for one year.
Results: The comparison of the MMSE test results at baseline and after one year demonstrated a significant (p < 0.001) difference. The mean improvement is 5 points.
Conclusion: The new results confirm the already proven positive effect of oral spermidine intake on memory performance.

Parkinson's disease and deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS): long-term disease evaluation and neuropsychological outcomes in a 9-year matched-controlled study.
Neurosurg Rev

Department of Neurosurgery, Hospital Universitario Fundación Jiménez Díaz, Av. De los Reyes Católicos, 2, Madrid, 28040, Spain.
Matched-controlled long-term disease evaluation and neuropsychological outcomes derived from deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS) in Parkinson´s disease (PD) are lacking, with inconsistent results regarding the cognitive impact of this procedure. Here we study the long-term effects associated to DBS comparing outcomes with a matched control group. A prospective observational study of 40 patients with PD with bilateral STN-DBS, with a mean follow-up of 9 (6-12) years was conducted.

Rationale: Psilocybin shows promise for treating neuropsychiatric disorders. However, insight into its acute effects on cognition is lacking. Given the significant role of executive functions in daily life and treatment efficacy, it is crucial to evaluate how psilocybin influences these cognitive domains.

We developed a Metacognitive Offloading Optimization Task (MOOT) whereby participants were instructed to score as many points as possible by accessing words from a presented list either by remembering them (worth 10 points each) or by offloading them (worth less than 10 points each). Results indicated that participants were sensitive to the value of the offloaded items such that when offloaded items carried a high value (e.g.

Background: Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has a high risk of poor outcomes. We aimed to compare the outcomes of lower extremity revascularization in patients with CLTI stratified by CKD severity in patients enrolled in the prospective, randomized Best Endovascular vs Best Surgical Therapy in Patients with CLTI (BEST-CLI) trial.
Methods: The BEST-CLI trial dataset was queried to categorize patients into three groups according to CKD stage.
Robust Mechanically Interlocked Network Ionogels.

Ionogels have attracted considerable attention as versatile materials due to their unique ionic conductivity and thermal stability. However, relatively weak mechanical performance of many existing ionogels has hindered their broader application. Herein, we develop robust, tough, and impact-resistant mechanically interlocked network ionogels (IGMINs) by incorporating ion liquids with mechanical bonds that can dissipate energy while maintain structural stability.
