INTRODUCTION: Electric bicycles, or e-bikes, have become very popular over the past decade. In order to reduce the risk of crashes, it is necessary to understand the contributing factors. While several researchers have examined these elements, few have considered the spatial heterogeneity between crashes and environmental variables, such as Points of Interest (POI). In addition, there is a scarcity of studies comparing the crash-related factors of e-bikes and motorcycles. Despite their differing speed and range capabilities, different POIs also tend to impact area/bandwidths differently because e-bikes cannot cover the same range that motorcycles can...

OBJECTIVE: Elder abuse, an important human rights issue and public health problem, contributes to increased disability and mortality. In the last decades, several reviews have synthesized primary studies to determine its prevalence. This umbrella review aimed to estimate the worldwide overall prevalence rate of elder abuse in the community and care setting. METHODS: Following prospective registration at PROSPERO (CRD42021281866) we conducted a search of eight electronic databases to identify systematic reviews from inception until 17 January 2023...

BACKGROUND: To safeguard the most vulnerable individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous governments enforced measures such as stay-at-home orders, social distancing, and self-isolation. These social restrictions had a particularly negative effect on older adults, as they are more vulnerable and experience increased loneliness, which has various adverse effects, including increasing the risk of mental health problems and mortality. Chatbots can potentially reduce loneliness and provide companionship during a pandemic...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease mostly affecting the elderly population. It is characterized by cognitive decline that occurs due to impaired neurotransmission and neuronal death. Even though deposition of amyloid beta (Aβ) peptides and aggregation of hyperphosphorylated TAU have been established as major pathological hallmarks of the disease, other factors such as the interaction of genetic and environmental factors are believed to contribute to the development and progression of AD...

With the increasing global aging population, dementia care has rapidly become a major social problem. Current diagnosis of Behavior and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) relies on clinical interviews, and behavioral rating scales based on a period of behavior observation, but these methods are not suitable for identification of occurrence of BPSD in the daily living, which is necessary for providing appropriate interventions for dementia, though, has been studied by few research groups in the literature...

Adult child to parent violence is a growing international social problem that needs to be better understood to develop clinical interventions. An exploratory study on the antecedents of early life adversity on adult child to parent violence/elder mistreatment was carried out using secondary analysis. Directed content analysis was used based on life course theory with a data set of older mothers all > 57 years old (J. R. Smith 2021, 2022). Measurement of instances of child abuse, domestic violence, and birth trauma among abused older mothers was conducted...

UNLABELLED: Pneumonia is a major public health problem for older adults, being one of the leading causes of hospitalization and death, particularly for elderly nursing home residents. We previously conducted a clinical trial in which we demonstrated that 29% of nursing home residents had low serum zinc levels coinciding with a two-fold increase in pneumonia incidence and duration in comparison to individuals with adequate serum zinc levels. However, causality could not be inferred and necessitates a double-blind clinical trial...

Elder mistreatment (EM) is a complex problem, with response and prevention requiring contributions from professionals from many disciplines. Community-based multi-disciplinary teams (MDTs) that conduct meetings to discuss challenging cases and coordinate services are a common strategy to ensure effective collaboration. Though they play an important role in EM identification, intervention, and prevention, hospitals and hospital-based healthcare professionals have been particularly difficult to engage in MDTs...

Head movement must be stabilized to enable high-quality data collection from optical instrumentation such as eye trackers and ophthalmic imaging devices. Though critically important for imaging, head stabilization is often an afterthought in the design of advanced ophthalmic imaging systems, and experimental devices often adapt used and/or discarded equipment from clinical devices for this purpose. Alternatively, those seeking the most stable solution possible, including many users of adaptive optics ophthalmoscopy systems, utilize bite bars...

Mitral annular calcification is a chronic process involving degeneration and calcium deposition within the fibrous skeleton of the mitral valve annulus, which can lead to mitral valve dysfunction. It can be asymptomatic, or it can have pathologic sequelae leading to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Mitral annular calcification is increasingly recognized with the advancement of diagnostic imaging modalities, especially in an era with a growing elderly population. Its presence poses considerable challenges in terms of surgical and transcatheter management...

However, a single inflammatory index or a single lipid index cannot accurately predict the prognosis of CVD independently because it is prone to be affected by various confounding factors.

REVIEW
Moein Ebrahimi, Ali Dabbagh, Firoozeh Madadi
Propofol is a frequently used anesthetic. It can induce neurodegeneration and inhibit neurogenesis in the hippocampus. This effect may be temporary. It can, however, become permanent in vulnerable populations, such as the elderly, who are more susceptible to Alzheimer's disease, and neonates and children, whose brains are still developing and require neurogenesis. Current clinical practice strategies have failed to provide an effective solution to this problem. In addition, the molecular mechanism of this toxicity is not fully understood...

BACKGROUND: Dizziness and balance disorders are directly related to aging in humans- Dizziness is one of the most important factors causing the burden of disability after the age of 65. Bearing in mind the increase in the elderly population in Iran and the world and the prevalence of dizziness in old age, early diagnosis of dizziness and determination of the factors affecting its severity facilitate its treatment and are effective in preventing its adverse consequences.
