Does self-directed learning address gaps in nursing student knowledge of Alzheimer's disease?
Educ Gerontol. 2023;49(8):673-686. doi: 10.1080/03601277.2022.2148445. Epub 2022 Dec 8.ABSTRACTIn the past two decades, deaths from stroke, heart disease and HIV decreased, whereas reported deaths from age-related Alzheimer's disease (AD) have increased. Future nurses will be caring for the rapidly escalating number of older adults facing increased AD risk, yet nursing students' knowledge has been shown to be limited regarding the age-related disease of Alzheimer's (and the most common dementia type) (Aljezawi et al., 2022; Mattos et al., 2015). In this pilot study, a quasi-experimental approach was used to examine undergr...

Should beetles be named after Adolf Hitler?
In 1934, a German paleontologist named a giant flying insect from the Carboniferous period Rochlingia hitleri , after Adolf Hitler, who had just taken power in Germany, and Hermann Röchling, an anti-semitic steel manufacturer and member of the Nazi Party. Three years later, an Austrian amateur entomologist named a brown, eyeless beetle from Slovenian caves Anophthalmus hitleri because he admired Hitler. In recent years, neo-Nazis have reportedly paid thousands for specimens, pushing the beetle toward extinction . Some researchers have argued for years that A. hitleri and other spec...

Did interstellar debris fall to the sea floor? Claim meets sea of doubt
In 2014, a rock from space blazed through the atmosphere and exploded off the coast of Papua New Guinea with such ferociousness that some researchers believe the object came from beyond the Solar System. Now, a team of researchers says it has recovered remnants of the meteor from the floor of the Pacific Ocean and claims that a preliminary analysis of their unusual composition points to an origin around another star. Only in the past few years have astronomers realized that interstellar objects sometimes whizz through the Solar System and might even hit Earth. Finding a lump of rock from another planetary system would...

Anticholinergic Burden and Cognitive Impairment in Nursing Homes: A Comparison of Four Anticholinergic Scales
ConclusionsThe cumulative effect of medications with modest antimuscarinic activity may influence the cognitive performance of NH residents. The anticholinergic burden measured with the ACB scale should help identify NH residents who may benefit from reducing the anticholinergic burden.A clear direct relationship between anticholinergic burden and cognitive impairment was found only for the ACB Scale.

Everyday Pain in Middle and Later Life: Associations with Daily and Momentary Present-Moment Awareness as One Key Facet of Mindfulness
This study investigated everyday associations between one key facet of mindfulness (allocating attention to the present moment) and pain. In Study 1, 89 community-dwelling adults (33-88 years; Mage = 68.6) who had experienced a stroke provided 14 daily end-of-day present-moment awareness and pain ratings. In Study 2, 100 adults (50-85 years; Mage = 67.0 years) provided momentary present-moment awareness and pain ratings three times daily for 10 days. Multi-level models showed that higher trait present-moment awareness was linked with lower overall pain (both studies). In Study 1, participants reported less pain on days on ...

CONSERVATION Researchers raise alarm over threat to Mexican fireflies Scientists from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) last week delivered a letter to the Mexican government requesting it regulate tourism centered on the threatened firefly species Photinus palaciosi . Endemic to Mexico’s Tlaxcala forests, P. palaciosi is one of the few species that glow in synchrony, offering an annual spectacle that attracts thousands of visitors during summer mating season. The letter describes how littering, artificial light, and noise interfere with the insects’ courtship and eg...
