Aging in polymers of intrinsic microporosity has slowed exploitation due to a decay in performance over time since densification makes them unsuitable for industrial applications. This work aimed to study the impact of the operation and storage temperature on the gas separation properties and aging rates of PIM-1 self-standing films. The permeability, diffusivity, and solubility of the tested membranes were monitored through permeation tests for pure carbon dioxide and nitrogen at a maximum upstream pressure of 1.3 bar for temperatures ranging from -20 °C to 25 °C. This study found significant benefits in the operation of glassy polymeric membranes at low temperatures, resulting in a favourable trade-off in separation performance and a reduction in the aging rate by three orders of magnitude. This brings new opportunities for the industrial application of PIMs in innovative carbon capture processes.

Trends in Ethnic Disparities in Stroke Care and Long-Term Outcomes.
JAMA Netw Open

School of Life Course and Population Sciences, King's College London, London, United Kingdom.
Importance: Reducing the burden of stroke is a public health priority. While higher stroke incidence among ethnic minority populations (defined in the context of this study as individuals who are not White) is well established, reports on ethnic inequalities in care or outcomes are conflicting and often limited to hospital-admitted patients and short-term outcomes.
Objective: To investigate ethnic differences in stroke care and outcomes up to 5 years after stroke and describe temporal trends and contributory factors.
Noise Exposure History and Age-Related Changes to Hearing.

Importance: Noise exposure is a major modifiable risk factor for hearing loss, yet it is not known whether it affects the rate of hearing decline in aging.
Objective: To determine the association of noise exposure history with the rate of pure-tone threshold change per year.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This longitudinal cohort study was conducted in the ongoing community-based Medical University of South Carolina Longitudinal Cohort Study of Age-Related Hearing Loss (1988 to present with the sample based in Charleston, South Carolina, and surrounding area).
Background: Despite an aging population, it remains challenging to reliably differentiate between loss of cognitive function associated with normal aging and cognitive decline associated with pathologic processes. With growing interest in using retinal and optic nerve biomarkers to diagnose neurodegenerative diseases, characterization of the velocity of normal retinal age-related changes will further our understanding. We evaluated longitudinal microvascular changes in cognitively normal older adults using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA).

Background: Olfactory deficits are predictive of cognitive decline and dementia. Previous studies have linked brain magnetic resonance imaging markers of neurodegeneration to olfactory deficits in aging; however, these studies analyzed cross-sectional data for markers, olfaction, or both. Furthermore, potential cerebrovascular contributions to understanding why olfactory deficits predict dementia remain unexplored.

Background: Reduced complexity of resting-state fMRI has been associated with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's diseases (AD) in cross-sectional cohorts. However, the trajectory of complexity in AD progression remains unknown. We conducted complexity analyses in a longitudinal AD dataset.
