Does androgen deprivation impact associations between cognition and strength, fitness and function in community-dwelling men with prostate cancer? A cross-sectional study by Helen Macpherson, Robin M Daly, Patrick J Owen, Niamh L Mundell, Steve F Fraser, Jack Dalla Via

“…A secondary aim was to compare differences in the prevalence of cognitive impairment.Design This cross-sectional study compared 70 ADT-treated men with PCa aged 50–85 years to non-ADT-treated men (n=52) and non-PCa controls (n=70).Setting University clinical exercise laboratory.Interventions Nil.Primary and secondary outcome measures Standardised assessments were conducted for cognition (learning, memory, attention, processing speed and executive function), muscle strength (grip strength and leg press), fitness (400 m walk), gait speed (4 m walk) and dual-tasking mobility (timed-up-and-go with a cognitive task).Results ADT-treated men showed stronger associations between fitness and executive function and task switching relative to controls (both: p≤0.03). …”

Experimental study of partially oxidized sodium alginate gel combined with myogenic stem cells to improve cardiac function in aged rats with myocardial infarction by Xinxin Ma, Xiaolu Hou, Peixin Dong, Jiayan Ye, Yangyang Gao, Ling Huang, Xiuping Bai

“…[Objective] To investigate the effect of partially oxidized sodium alginate gel combined with intramyocardial injection of myogenic stem cells on cardiac function in aged rats with myocardial infarction. [Methods] The models of myocardial infarction in aged rats were established by ligating the coronary arteries and divided randomly into the group of saline control group, sodium alginate group, myogenic stem cells group and sodium alginate combined with myogenic stem cells group(joint group), each had 30 rats.The same amount of corresponding material was injected into the myocardial infarction area of rats in each group respectively.The cardiac structure and function of the rats were evaluated by echocardiography 8 weeks after the operation, and then the rats were executed.The hearts were removed to observe the differences in ventricular remodeling by histological analysis and the angiogenesis and collagen secretion of the ventricular slices were further analyzed. …”

Long-term cognitive and autonomic effects of COVID-19 in young adults: a cross-sectional study at 28 months by Gopika Gopinath, Chinmay A. Suryavanshi, Pallavi L. C.

“…HRV parameters did not differ significantly between groups, although trends toward higher overall HRV were observed in the COVID-19 group.Conclusion Young adults who had COVID-19 infection approximately 28 months ago show minimal long-term impact on cognitive function and autonomic regulation. However, subtle cognitive inefficiencies persist, particularly in working memory and executive function tasks. …”
