The decreased adaptability normally associated with aging animals is described. Anesthetic evaluation and management of these alterations can be successfully completed if wide variations in organ functions are not required of the patient by the surgeon or anesthetist.

Circadian rhythms, metabolism, and nutrition support in critically ill adult patients: a narrative review.
Curr Opin Clin Nutr Metab Care
December 2024
Department of Anesthesia, Critical Care and Pain Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital.
Purpose Of Review: The human circadian system regulates several physiological processes, including metabolism, which becomes significantly disrupted during critical illness. The common use of 24-h continuous nutrition support feeding in the intensive care unit (ICU) may further exacerbate these disruptions; this review evaluates recent evidence comparing continuous and intermittent feeding schedules in critically ill adults.
Recent Findings: Research comparing different feeding schedules in critically ill adults remains limited.
Circulating large extracellular vesicles as diagnostic biomarkers of indeterminate thyroid nodules: multi-platform omics analysis.
BJS Open
December 2024
Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences, University College London, London, UK.
Background: While most thyroid nodules are benign, 7-15% are malignant. Patients with indeterminate thyroid nodules (specifically Bethesda IV/Thy3f) often undergo diagnostic hemithyroidectomy to reach a diagnosis on final histology. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of circulating large extracellular vesicles as diagnostic biomarkers in patients presenting with Thy3f thyroid nodules.

Xenotransplantation
January 2025
Division of Cardiac Surgery, Department of Surgery, Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California, USA.
Introduction: There is no standard protocol for management of organ preservation for orthotopic, life-sustaining cardiac xenotransplantation, particularly for hearts from pediatric sized donors. Standard techniques and solutions successful in human allotransplantation are not viable. We theorized that a solution commonly used in reparative cardiac surgery in human children would suffice by exploiting the advantages inherent to xenotransplantation, namely the ability to reduce organ ischemic times by co-locating the donor and recipient.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
University of São Paulo Medical School, São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil
Background: Down syndrome (DS) is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction leading to higher levels of oxidative stress and cell degeneration. This fact, together with the overexpression of AD‐related genes in trisomy 21, increases the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). Thus, it is important to look for interventions that could prevent mitochondrial damage before symptoms occur.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
University of Kentucky College of Medicine, Sanders‐Brown Center on Aging, Lexington, KY, USA
Background: Vascular pathology profoundly comorbid with AD pathology could worsen disease progression and reduce treatment efficacy. Knowledge of small vessels and cerebrovascular function in AD mouse models is limited. Investigating vascular related aspects for preclinical AD studies is essential for biomarker development and treatment trials.
