Diabetes and factors associated with cognitive and functional decline. The screening for CKD among older people across Europe (SCOPE) study
CONCLUSION: Decline in functional and cognitive status of community-dwelling older adults with DM was similar to participants without DM in a short period of 2 years of follow-up, though several clinical factors may increase its risk in this population.PMID:37668841 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-023-02536-2

Antidepressants and the risk of ischemic stroke in older adults according to the degree of serotonin reuptake inhibition: a retrospective cohort study
Antidepressants are a widely used drug class with an increasing trend in use, and an increasing consumption rate has been reported especially in older adults.(1) Many studies have reported a positive relationship between age and the prevalence of antidepressant prescription, attributing it to complicated health problems, worsening of various chronic diseases, and related disabilities that occur with age.(2) However, in prescribing antidepressants to older adults, more attention to the potential adverse reactions for each drug is needed because of considerations such as polypharmacy and physiological changes affecting drug ...

Sex differences in cognitive impairment after focal ischemia in middle-aged rats and the effect of iv miR-20a-3p treatment
Neurobiol Aging. 2023 May 5;129:168-177. doi: 10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2023.05.001. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStroke is a major cause of death and disability worldwide and is also a leading cause of vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease, with older women experiencing accelerated decline. Our previous studies show that intravenous (iv) injections of miR-20a-3p, a small noncoding RNA (miRNA) delivered after stroke improves acute stroke outcomes in middle-aged male and female rats. The present study tested whether mir-20a-3p treatment would also ameliorate stroke-induced cognitive decline in the chronic phase. Acyclic...

Multimorbidity and functional disability among older adults - the role of inflammation and glycemic status: An Observational Longitudinal Study
Conclusion: The findings suggest potential for anti-inflammatory management among older women and optimal glycemic control among older men with these particular multimorbidity combinations as focus for therapeutic/preventive options for maintaining functional health.

The association between white matter hyperintensities of presumed vascular origin and disability is mediated by age: a population-based study in stroke-free older adults
CONCLUSIONS: Increasing age mediates the probability of WMH-related disability in stroke-free individuals.PMID:36720797 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-023-02355-5

Subjective Memory Complaints and Their Relationship with the Objective Cognitive Performance of Stroke Patients
Conclusion: Changes in SMCQ scores of stroke patients were inconsistent and varied when compared to changes in MMSE and MBI scores, indicating that it is not a reliable metric on its own. SMCs have a clinical relationship with OCP and significant emotional and motivational effects. In clinical practice, it is important to understand and consider SMCs after stroke.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord

Telerehabilitation of Post-Stroke Patients with Motor Function Disorders: A Review
AbstractStroke is the main reason for disabilities of increasing geriatric population. It affects brain and motor function domains significantly reducing the life quality. Recent coronavirus pandemic raised a question on changing approaches to deliver post-stroke rehabilitation services to geriatric patients due to their high risk of serious illness. This paper presents an overview of current telerehabilitation approaches for motor function recovery and balance training of post-stroke patients. We used papers from peer-reviewed medical journals on stroke telerehabilitation. The review showed exergames, virtual reality (VR)...

Disagreement about perceptions of patient disability between the stroke patient and caregiver: a cross sectional study exploring the association to patient and caregiver quality of life
CONCLUSION: Findings suggest the association of disagreement with QOL differs between patients and caregivers. Further research is needed to carefully appraise the relationship and interaction between patient and caregiver.PMID:36036267 | DOI:10.1080/13607863.2022.2116400
