Abstract
The risk of developing chronic illnesses and disabilities is increasing with age. To predict and prevent aging, biomarkers relevant to the aging process must be identified. This paper reviews the known molecular, cellular, and physiological biomarkers of aging. Moreover, we discuss the currently available technologies for identifying these biomarkers, and their applications and potential in aging research. We hope that this review will stimulate further research and innovation in this emerging and fast-growing field.

Abstract
Cognitive impairment is a common feature among patients with diffuse glioma. The objective of the study is to investigate the relationship between preoperative cognitive function and clinical as well as molecular factors, firstly based on the new 2021 World Health Organization's updated classification of central nervous system tumors. A total of 110 diffuse glioma patients enrolled underwent preoperative cognitive assessments using the Mini-Mental State Examination and Montreal Cognitive Assessment. Clinical information was collected from medical records, and gene sequencing was performed to analyze the 18 most influenced genes. The differences in cognitive function between patients with and without glioblastoma were compared under both the 2016 and 2021 WHO classification of tumors of the central nervous system to assess their effect of differentiation on cognition. The study found that age, tumor location, and glioblastoma had significant differences in cognitive function. Several genetic alterations were significantly correlated with cognition. Especially, IDH, CIC, and ATRX are positively correlated with several cognitive domains, while most other genes are negatively correlated. For most focused genes, patients with a low number of genetic alterations tended to have better cognitive function. Our study suggested that, in addition to clinical characteristics such as age, histological type, and tumor location, molecular characteristics play a crucial role in cognitive function. Further research into the mechanisms by which tumors affect brain function is expected to enhance the quality of life for glioma patients. This study highlights the importance of considering both clinical and molecular factors in the management of glioma patients to improve cognitive outcomes.

[PMID: 37676054 DOI: 10.1080/14737175.2023.2254938] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Accepted: 08/30/2023] [Indexed: 09/08/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recommendations for treating panic disorder (PD) in older patients are scarce. The authors have systematically reviewed whether several recommended medications are superior to others and their optimal doses in this age group. METHODS A database search of studies involving patients with PD with/without agoraphobia aged ≥ 60 years was carried out using PubMed, PsycINFO, Embase, and Clinical Trials.gov, from their inception dates to 1 March 2023. Only four (published from 2002 to 2010) of the 1292 records screened were included. A risk of bias assessment was provided. This systematic review was performed using The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). RESULTS Two studies were randomized clinical trials, whereas two were open-label, including paroxetine, citalopram, escitalopram, and sertraline; three studies reported short-term evaluations, whereas one study included a 26-week follow-up. Medications provided benefits, with good tolerability. Preliminary results suggested greater benefits of paroxetine in reducing panic attacks vs. cognitive - behavioral therapy, and an earlier decrease in PAs with escitalopram vs. citalopram. Risk of bias was considerable. CONCLUSIONS The pharmacological management of PD in older patients has received no attention. Findings are scant, dated, and affected by methodological flaws; thus, they do not provide significant advances.
