Role of physical activity in ameliorating neuropsychiatric symptoms in Alzheimer disease: A narrative review
2019
Objective: Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPs) affect almost all patients with Alzheimer disease (AD). Because of the complications associated with the pharmacological treatment, nonpharmacological treatment (such as physical activity) can be considered as an additional complementary treatment option for NPs. The aim of this review is to evaluate the impact of physical activity on NPs in patients with AD. Methods: We searched Pubmed and Google Scholar for potential eligible articles until March 1, 2018. Results: Although there are contradictory results showing the impact of physical exercise on NPs, most of them reported that it had a significant effect on depression and sleep disturbances in p…
Neonicotinoids from coated seeds toxic for honeydew-feeding biological control agents
2021
Seed coating (‘seed treatment’) is the leading delivery method of neonicotinoid insecticides in major crops such as soybean, wheat, cotton and maize. However, this prophylactic use of neonicotinoids is widely discussed from the standpoint of environmental costs. Growing soybean plants from neonicotinoid-coated seeds in field, we demonstrate that soybean aphids (Aphis glycines) survived the treatment, and excreted honeydew containing neonicotinoids. Biochemical analyses demonstrated that honeydew excreted by the soybean aphid contained substantial concentrations of neonicotinoids even one month after sowing of the crop. Consuming this honeydew reduced the longevity of two biological control …
Efecto del consumo de soja en la longevidad de ratones OF1 machos
2013
Encontrar buenos modelos de envejecimiento es un objetivo importante de la Gerontología. La diferencia de género en la longevidad, es decir, el hecho de que las hembras viven alrededor del 10% más que los machos en muchas especies, incluida la especie humana, ofrece una oportunidad única para estudiar los aspectos fundamentales del envejecimiento. En el contexto de la teoría mitocondrial de radicales libres en el envejecimiento, estudios realizados por nuestro grupo de investigación han encontrado que la producción de especies reactivas de oxígeno es aproximadamente el doble en los machos en comparación con las hembras (Borras et al., 2003). Así, dichas diferencias de longevidad entre macho…
Formulation of liposomes loading lentisk oil to ameliorate topical delivery, attenuate oxidative stress damage and improve cell migration in scratch …
2021
[EN] Pistacia lentiscus L. is a sclerophyllous shrub capable of growing under harsh climatic conditions especially in the Mediterranean Basin. Different products can be obtained from this plant, such as essential oil, mastic gum or even fixed oil. The last is well known for its flavor which is mainly exploited in the food industry. Additionally, it has been traditionally used in the treatment of skin diseases, but, at the moment, any suitable formulation for skin delivery has been formulated and its biological effects was not deeply confirmed. Given that, in the present study, the lentisk oil has been formulated in liposomes at different concentrations (10, 20, 30 mg/ml) and their physicoch…
Study of the retention and release of n-hexanal incorporated into soy protein isolate–lipid composite films
2010
[EN] This work deals with the study of the kinetic of aroma release, which had been previously incorporated into soy protein isolate (SPI)-lipid composite films. The aim was to determine the influence of type and amount of lipidic material on aroma (n-hexanal) release and retention, as well as the apparent diffusion coefficients. To carry out this study it have been employed SPI-based films containing two SPI:LIPID ratios (1:0.25 and 1:0.5), and two types of lipids, oleic acid (OA) and beeswax (BW), in OA:BW ratios 100:0, 70:30, 50:50, 30:70 and 0:100. The measurements were performed by a gas chromatography technique. The films that showed more retention were SPI:LIPID 1:0.5 100% BW and con…
La letteratura nigeriana in lingua inglese
2020
La tradizione letteraria nigeriana, appropriatasi della lingua del colonizzatore, travalica i confini nazionali, nonché quelli dei cosiddetti studi postcoloniali, percorrendo temi che vanno dalla cosmogonia mitologica all’impatto coloniale, dall’indipendenza alle migrazioni contemporanee. Nonostante sia ampiamente tradotta, in Italia questa produzione letteraria, che pure si è affermata come una delle più ricche del mondo delle lettere in lingua inglese, non è mai stata sistematizzata all’interno di uno studio specifico che ne sottolinei l’aspetto nazionale insieme a quello transnazionale. Questo volume si propone di colmare questo vuoto, contestualizzandola storicamente e culturalmente, sp…
Survival time and differences between dementia with Lewy bodies and Alzheimer’s disease following diagnosis: a meta-analysis of longitudinal studies.
2019
Objective: To synthesize the evidence across longitudinal studies comparing survival in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies comparing survival in clinically diagnosed DLB to AD. Longitudinal cohort studies were identified through a systematic search of major electronic databases from inception to May 2018. A random effects meta-analysis was performed to calculate survival time and relative risk of death. Results: Overall, 11 studies were identified including 22,952 patients with dementia: 2029 with DLB (mean diagnosis age 76.3; 47% female) compared with 20,923 with AD (mean diagnosis age 77.2; 6…
Sociodemographic and behavioural correlates of lifetime number of sexual partners: findings from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing.
2018
BackgroundNo current data are available on correlates of lifetime sexual partners at older ages. This study aimed to explore correlates of the lifetime number of sexual partners in a sample of older adults.MethodData were from 3054 men and 3867 women aged ≥50 years participating in the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing. Participants reported their lifetime number of sexual partners and a range of sociodemographic characteristics and health behaviours. Multivariable multinomial logistic regression was used to examine correlates of lifetime number of sexual partners, with analyses performed separately for men and women and weighted for non-response.ResultsYounger age, being separated/divor…
Mild cognitive impairment is associated with fall-related injury among adults aged ≥65 years in low- and middle-income countries.
2021
Abstract Objectives There is a scarcity of data on the association between mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and falls, especially from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where 70% of all older adults reside. Thus, we investigated the association between MCI and fall-related injury among older adults residing in six LMICs (China, Ghana, India, Mexico, Russia, South Africa). Design Cross-sectional, community-based data from the WHO Study on global AGEing and adult health (SAGE) were analyzed. Methods The definition of MCI was based on the National Institute on Ageing-Alzheimer's Association criteria, and information on past 12-month fall-related injury was also collected. Multivariable l…
The relationship between Polypharmacy and Trajectories of Cognitive Decline in People with Dementia: a large representative cohort study
2019
Polypharmacy, defined through the number of medications prescribed, has been linked to a range of adverse health outcomes in people with dementia. It is however unclear whether a numerical threshold of concurrently prescribed drugs is a suitable predictor for cognitive decline. We aimed to test associations between polypharmacy and both short-term (six months) and long-term (three years) cognitive trajectories in patients with incident dementia. Using data from a large mental health and dementia care database in South London, a cohort of 12,148 patients (mean age = 80.7 years, 61.1% female, mean MMSE = 18.6) clinically diagnosed with dementia was identified. We determined the number of medi…
