Despite the rapidly increasing population of older adults, little is currently known about sexual activity and sexual satisfaction among the oldest people.The present study aimed to investigate sexual activity and sexual...
Although epidemiological studies on the effect of chronic fine particulate matter (PM) exposure on lipid disorders have been conducted, it is unclear if improved air quality is associated with beneficial changes in the blood...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and nitrogen dioxide (NO) is a potential environmental risk factor for COPD. However, association between ambient NO and COPD...
Self-perceptions about aging have implications for health and well-being; however, less is known about how these perceptions influence adaptation to major life transitions. The goal of this study was to examine how...
HIV infection and methamphetamine dependence (METH) are each associated with inflammation and premature aging, but their impact on biological aging is difficult to measure. Here we examined the impact of HIV and METH on...
Convalescent plasma (CP) is being used as a treatment option in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Till date, there is conflicting evidence on efficacy of CP in reducing COVID-19 related mortality.To evaluate the effect of CP...
The respiratory muscle strength regulates the effectiveness of coughing, which clears the airways and protects people from pneumonia. Sarcopenia is an aging-related loss of muscle mass and function, the worsening of which is...
Normal aging is associated with numerous biological changes, including altered brain metabolism and tissue chemistry. In vivo characterization of the neurochemical profile during aging is possible using magnetic resonance...
Recent studies have confirmed that white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) accumulated in strategic brain regions can predict cognitive impairments associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The knowledge of white matter...
Lateral unicompartmental arthroplasty (UKA) constitutes only 5-10% of all unicompartmental replacements performed. Whilst the short and medium term benefits are well documented, there remains concern regarding the higher...
Magnesium (Mg), as an essential mineral, supports and sustains the health and activity of the organs of the human body. Despite some clinical evidence on the association of Mg deficiency with muscle regeneration dysfunction and...
Fine particulate matter (PM) in the atmosphere is of high priority for air quality management efforts to address adverse health effects in human. We believe that emission control policies, which are traditionally guided by...
