This paper explores the role of Intercept Interpreters/Translators (IITs) in law enforcement communication surveillance efforts. It focuses on the production and reliability of Translated Intercept Records (TIR), which are comprehensive written records in the target language that may be produced for intelligence purposes or for use in court as Translated Intercept Evidence (TIE). The paper underscores the critical importance of reliable TIR for both evidentiary use and operational decision-making. The authors emphasise the need to establish minimal standards in the quest for reliability and dispel the misconception that literal translations fulfil evidentiary requirements. The standards proposed in this paper aim to minimise interpretation errors to enhance the overall effectiveness of investigations and safeguard the interests of justice. The paper concludes by highlighting the need to align judicial expectations with sound translation practices.

A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial to Examine the Impact of a Therapy Dog Intervention on Loneliness in Hospitalized Older Adults.

Innov Aging

September 2024

Department of Clinical Sciences, Center for Animals and Public Policy, Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, Tufts University, North Grafton, Massachusetts, USA.

Background And Objectives: Loneliness is linked to significant health threats and is potentially more dangerous than obesity; it affects as many as 29% of noninstitutionalized older adults. Loneliness is exacerbated for those who require inpatient rehabilitation, are displaced from their social networks, spend little time receiving therapy, and are physically inactive and socially isolated. Emerging evidence suggests that companion animals provide a number of health and well-being benefits and that interacting with a trained therapy dog may reduce loneliness.

Alzheimers Dement

December 2024

The Mind Research Network, Albuquerque, NM, USA.

Background: In recent efforts to improve early identification, staging, and prediction of risk of persons at risk for vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) in relation with small vessel disease (SVD), the MarkVCID consortium has worked to identify and validate fluid- and imaging-based biomarkers for SVD associated with VCID. Free water (FW) measured derived from diffusion tensor imaging and one of the selected neuroimaging biomarker "kits", has been demonstrated to have excellent instrumental validity and to be a sensitive biomarker of cognitive performances. We sought to further examine FW clinical relevance by investigating whether FW predicts cognitive worsening over time.

Alzheimers Dement

December 2024

Wisconsin Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, WI, USA.

Background: The high prevalence of mixed-pathology dementias suggests that multi-drug treatments may improve clinical outcomes; thus, in-vivo biomarkers for co-pathologies are needed. We investigated a novel assay for detecting seeds of misfolded alpha synuclein (αSyn) and explored its relationship to outcomes including Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers, clinical features, and cognitive trajectories, in two community-based cohorts enriched for AD risk.

Method: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) obtained from participants in the Wisconsin Registry for Alzheimer's Prevention and the Wisconsin Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (N=418 participants; 515 LPs; Table 1) was assayed using a clinically validated, qualitative Syn seed amplification assay (SAA; Amprion).

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with hypoxia-induced neuronal impairment and dysfunction-key risk factors for the pathogeneses of age-related neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study examined longitudinal associations between OSA severity and CSF biomarkers associated with AD, synaptic dysfunction, and neuroinflammation in a sample of late-middle-aged adults with increased risk for AD.

Method: N=25 cognitively unimpaired adults (64% female, mean age 65.

Background: Increasing evidence shows a link between arterial calcification in the heart-brain axis and cognitive performance. However, how calcification relates to acceleration of cognitive changes, and which specific cognitive domains are mostly affected, remains unclear. We assessed the impact of calcification in major arteries between the heart and brain on cognitive decline and focused on different cognitive domains.
