Dementia is an increasing concern in many countries, especially in those experiencing rapid growth in the proportion of older adults in their population.

This study aims to describe trends and demographic characteristics of incident dementia cases in community-dwelling older adults managed by primary care physicians.

We used electronic medical records from the Canadian Primary Care Sentinel Surveillance Network database to conduct a retrospective analysis to determine the number of, and trends for, incident diagnoses of dementia. Age-standardized annual incidence rates were calculated. Participants in our cohort are Canadian community dwelling seniors aged 65+ years who were not diagnosed with dementia before baseline with at least six years of record at their primary care clinics.

The cohort consisted of 39 067 patients of whom 57% were females; the mean (SD) follow-up was 8.4 (1.5) years. During follow-up, 4935 patients were diagnosed with dementia. The risk for dementia diagnosis increased with increasing age but decreased in the last four years among people aged 80 and older at baseline (P < 0.001). People with dementia were more likely to be females (P = 0.001) and urban residents (P < 0.001), they are less likely to be classified into the least deprived group (P = 0.012).

The incidence of dementia diagnosis increased with age except in the oldest old in both sexes. This may be attributed to the effect of mortality competing risk. Future research on the association between risk factors and dementia should consider studying dementia among the oldest old separately to minimize bias.

The extracted tissue is also immunostained for detection of antigens (tissue tumor markers) of potential prognostic or therapeutic importance to assist in treatment decision. Although liquid biopsies can be a powerful tool for monitoring treatment response, they are still excluded from standard cancer diagnostics, and their utility is still being debated in the scientific community. With a myriad of soluble tissue tumor markers now being discovered, liquid biopsies could completely change the current paradigms of cancer management. Recently, soluble programmed cell death ligand-1 (sPD-L1), which is found in the peripheral blood, i.e. serum and plasma, has shown potential as a pre-therapeutic predictive marker as well as a prognostic biomarker to monitor treatment efficacy. Thus, this review focuses on the emergence of sPD-L1 and promising technologies for its detection in order to support liquid biopsies for future cancer management.
Perceptions of time are shaped by sociohistorical factors. Specifically, economic growth and modernization often engender a sense of acceleration. Research has primarily focused on one time perception dimension (perceived time pressure) in one subpopulation (working-age adults), but it is not clear whether historical changes extend to other dimensions (e.g., perceived speed of time) and other subpopulations, such as older adults who are no longer in the workforce and experience age-related shifts in time perception. We therefore examined sociohistorical and age-related trends in two dimensions of time perception in two cohorts of urban older adults.

Using propensity score matching for age and education, samples were drawn from the Berlin Aging Study (1990-1993, n = 256, Mage = 77.49) and the Berlin Aging Study-II (2009-2014, n = 248, Mage = 77.49). Cohort differences in means, variances, covariance, and correlates of perceived speed of time and time pressure were examined using multigroup SEM.

There were no cohort differences in the perceived speed of time, but later-born cohorts reported more time pressure than earlier-born cohorts. There were no significant age differences, but perceptions of speed of time were more heterogeneous in the 1990s than in the 2010s. Cohorts did not differ in how time perceptions were associated with sociodemographic, health, cognitive, and psychosocial correlates.

These findings document sociohistorical trends toward greater perceived time pressure and reduced heterogeneity in perceived speed of time among later-born urban adults. Conceptualizations of social acceleration should thus consider the whole adult life span.

Although yoga is found to be beneficial in the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D), its mechanism of action is poorly understood. T2D is also known to be associated with increased oxidative stress (OS) and DNA damage.

This study examines how yoga modulates OS-induced DNA damage and the efficiency of DNA repair in T2D conditions.

In this assessor-masked randomized clinical trial, T2D subjects (n = 61), aged (Mean ± SD, 50.3 ± 4.2) were randomly allocated into Yoga group (31) that received 10 weeks of yoga intervention and Control (30) with routine exercises. Molecular and biochemical assessments were done before and after the intervention period. Structural Equation Modeling using "R" was used for mediation analysis.

At the end of the 10th week, Yoga group showed significant reduction in DNA damage indicators like Tail Moment (-5.88[95%CI -10.47 to -1.30]; P = .013) and Olive Tail Moment (-2.93[95%CI -4.87 to -1.00]; P < .01), oxidative DNA damage marker 8-OHdG (-60.39[95%CI -92.55 to -28.23]; P < .001) and Fasting Blood Sugar (-22.58[95%CI -44.33 to -0.83]; P = .042) compared to Control. OGG1 protein expression indicating DNA repair, improved significantly (17.55[95%CI1.37 to 33.73]; P = .034) whereas Total Antioxidant Capacity did not (5.80[95%CI -0.86 to 12.47]; P = 0.086). Mediation analysis indicated that improvements in oxidative DNA damage and DNA repair together played a major mediatory role (97.4%) in carrying the effect of yoga.

The beneficial effect of yoga on DNA damage in T2D subjects was found to be mediated by mitigation of oxidative DNA damage and enhancement of DNA repair.
