In this study, our aim was to show the life expectancy according to donor age groups at 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, and 20 years after liver transplant in liver transplant recipients. In this retrospective study, we analyzed the survival rate of 236 patients who had liver transplant procedures between 1988 and 2021. The 5-year life expectancy of recipients with donors over age 50 years in the literature has been shown to vary between 50% and 80%. Little information could be found on life expectancy after 10, 15, and 20 years in other studies. In the studies from Haberal and colleagues, life expectancy at 10, 15, and 20 years was 49%, 42%, and 42%, respectively. This study presents an evidence-based example of the use of elderly donors to enlarge the donor pool.

Surgical Fixation of Thoracolumbar Fractures in Patients Older than 80 Years.
Neurosurgery
January 2025
Division of Neurosurgery, Changi General Hospital, Singapore.
Background And Objective: The global average life expectancy has been increasing steadily as the quality of healthcare continues to improve. However, there is a paucity of data looking at surgical fixation of thoracolumbar spine fractures in patients ≥80 years (super-elderly). Aim of this study is to look at whether there is higher rate of complications from surgical fixation of thoracolumbar fractures in this group of patients.

Background And Purpose: This study aims to assess the disease burden and care quality along with cross-country inequalities for stroke at global, regional, and national levels from 1990 to 2021.
Methods: Data on stroke were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study 2021 for the globe, five sociodemographic index (SDI) regions, 21 GBD regions, and 204 countries/territories. The disease burden was quantified using the age-standardized disability-adjusted life years rate (ASDR).

Department of Breast Cancer Center, Chongqing University Cancer Hospital, Chongqing, China.
Background: Male breast cancer (MBC) is rare and often treated using evidence from female breast cancer (BC) trials due to limited male participation. Previous estimates lacked global coverage and completeness. We aimed to quantify the global MBC burden from 1990 to 2021 and evaluate its current status and trends.

Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio), Department of Psychology, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil.
Objectives: With increasing global life expectancy, cognitive interventions hold promise in mitigating cognitive decline and fostering healthy aging. Despite the demand for evidence-based interventions, there have been few attempts to summarize existing evidence. This study aims to assess the effectiveness and feasibility of unimodal and multimodal cognitive interventions for cognitively healthy older adults.

Department of Clinical Nutrition, National Hospital Organization Kyoto Medical Center, 1-1Mukaihata-cho, Fukakusa, Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, 612-8555 Japan.
Background: This study aimed to compare the economic value of intermittent-scanning continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) with self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Methods: Participants were placed on either an isCGM or SMBG arm for 84 days, in a randomized, crossover setup with a 28-day washout period. Clinically relevant hypoglycemia (<54 mg/dL) and severe hypoglycemia (SH) risks were calculated by analyzing the data from isCGM.
