Purpose: To examine mortality trends among non-Hispanic (NH) adults with pancreatic cancer.
Method: CDC-WONDER database was used to extract death certificate data on pancreatic cancer-related mortality in NH adults aged ≥ 45 from 1999 to 2020. Age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) per 100,000 persons and annual percent changes (APCs) were calculated and stratified by year, age, sex, race, and region.
Results: From 1999 to 2020, 783,772 deaths occurred among middle-aged (45-64) and older (65-85 +) NH adults. Overall AAMR increased from 31.7 in 1999 to 33.8 in 2020 (APC: 0.35; 95% CI:0.28-0.41). NH older adults had higher AAMRs (67.9) than NH middle-aged adults (12.5). Men consistently had higher AAMRs (37.7) than women (28.4). NH African Americans had the highest AAMRs (40.8) compared to NH Whites (32.1), NH American Indians (23.9), and NH Asians (22.4). Metropolitan areas had a higher AAMR (32.7) than non-metropolitan areas (32.2). The Northeast region had the highest AAMR (34.0) followed by Midwest (33.2), South (32.2), and West (30.1). Delaware, District of Columbia, Louisiana, Michigan, and Mississippi had the highest AAMRs among states.
Conclusions: Pancreatic cancer-related mortality among NH adults has increased from 1999 to 2020. Highest AAMRs were reported in older men, NH African Americans, the Northeastern and metropolitan areas.

Background: Hypertension is an important modifiable risk factor for dementia, but the role of blood pressure (BP) in the development of dementia is not fully understood. Emerging data links increased BP variability and abnormal BP dynamics to dementia risk, but the relationship between baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), a fundamental physiological mechanism for maintaining stable BP, and dementia risk is unknown.
Methods: We investigated the association of BRS with the risk of dementia in community-based older adults from the Rotterdam Study in the Netherlands.
Background: Pesticide exposure may contribute to cognitive decline, but empirical evidence is limited. We examined high pesticide exposure events (HPEE) in relation to subjective cognitive decline among farmers in the Pesticide and Sense of Smell Study (PASS), a sub-cohort of the Agricultural Health Study (AHS).
Method: This analysis included 2365 predominantly white male farmers from Iowa and North Carolina (aged 70±10 years) who enrolled in AHS from 1993-1997 and participated in PASS in 2020-2021.
Background: Clinical outcome assessments (COAs) are an important part of clinical trials to measure what is meaningful to patients and caregivers. This study aimed to examine trends in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) COAs used in clinical trials, given the FDA's recent emphasis on patient-focused drug development and early AD.
Method: ClinicalTrials.

Background: Proper name anomia is a common experience that can become amplified in patients with a diagnosis of dementia (PWD). The Gotcha! app aims to provide practice-based therapy for PWD to relearn the names of key people in their lives. It has been developed according to the principles of errorless learning, which have previously been shown to improve the remembering the familiar people's names and benefit the relationship between the PWD and their loved ones.

Background: Proper name anomia is a common experience that can become amplified in patients with a diagnosis of dementia (PWD). The Gotcha! app aims to provide practice-based therapy for PWD to relearn the names of key people in their lives. It has been developed using the principles of errorless learning and spaced retrieval, which have previously been shown to improve the remembering the familiar people's names and benefit the relationship between the PWD and their loved ones.
