Journal of the American Geriatrics Society Research Summary
Older adults who are recovering from heart failure often leave the hospital to stay at rehabilitation facilities (also called skilled nursing facilities) before they return home. However, healthcare practitioners know that the stress of the transitioning from hospital to skilled nursing facility and back to a person’s home can result in an older adult’s readmission to the hospital within 30 days after their discharge.
For that reason, older adults who have heart failure may do better when they get home health care once they return home after th…

Chronic inflammation in the brain is an important aspect of all neurodegenerative conditions. In particular, as discussed in this open access paper, there is good evidence for inflammatory and dysfunctional (and senescent) microglia to drive the tau protein aggregation characteristic of late stage Alzheimer’s disease. It remains to be seen as to how the research community will build on past years of research on this topic to develop therapies, but one of the best near term possibilities is the use of senolytic therapies such as the <a href="https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2015/03/senolytic-drugs-to-kill-off-senescent-ce…

Naked mole-rats live as much as nine times longer than similarly sized rodent species. A short summary of what is known of their biochemistry is that they exhibit many of the molecular signs of aging found in other mammals, such as oxidative damage, presence of senescent cells, and so forth, but few to none of the consequences found in other mammals. Naked mole rats stay fit and healthy and physiologically youthful right up until very late life. The near relative species of blind mole-rat has many of the same characteristics, although it is less well studied than naked mole-rats at the present time.

No getting around it. It’s candy time again.
Researchers (somebody has to do this) tell us that candy popularity varies by state.
Here are a few items I’ve been collecting for this occasion.
