ABSTRACT Aims: Our study aims to determine the impact of malnutrition on the quality of life of elderly patients receiving palliative care and identify the factors influencing quality of life. Methods: The study included patients aged 65 and older who were admitted to the Kırıkkale University Medical Faculty Hospital Palliative Care Service between November 2019 and February 2020. Patients with a history of active malignancy, hospitalization within the past 3 months, severe dementia precluding obtaining written consent, and patients under 65 years of age were excluded. Scores obtained from the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF) were recorded, with scores of 12 or higher considered as normal nutrition. Those with scores below 12 were reevaluated for malnutrition according to the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria, and those meeting any of the phenotypic and etiological criteria were considered malnourished. Malnutrition severity was reclassified according to the GLIM criteria. The 13-item OPQOLbrief questionnaire was used to evaluate their quality of life. The questionnaire was published in Turkish by Çalışkan et al. Each question was rated on a scale of 1-5, with “Strongly Disagree” scored as 1, “Disagree” as 2, “Undecided” as 3, “Agree” as 4, and “Strongly Agree” as 5. Results: The mean total MNA score was found to be statistically lower in patients classified as mild and severe malnutrition according to the GLIM classification compared to those without malnutrition (p

This article is from BMC Geriatrics , volume 12 . Abstract Background: Social support has been suggested to positively influence cognition and mortality in old age. However, this suggestion has been questioned due to inconsistent operationalisations of social support among studies and the small number of longitudinal studies available. This study aims to investigate the influence of perceived social support, understood as the emotional component of social support, on cognition and mortality in old age as part of a prospective longitudinal multicentre study in Germany. Methods: A national subsample of 2,367 primary care patients was assessed twice over an observation period of 18 months regarding the influence of social support on cognitive function and mortality. Perceived social support was assessed using the 14-item version of the FSozU, which is a standardised and validated questionnaire of social support. Cognition was tested by the neuropsychological test battery of the Structured Interview for the Diagnosis of Dementia (SIDAM). The influence of perceived support on cognitive change was analysed by multivariate ANCOVA; mortality was analysed by multivariate logistic and cox regression. Results: Sample cognitive change (N = 1,869): Mean age was 82.4 years (SD 3.3) at the beginning of the observation period, 65.9% were female, mean cognition was 49 (SD 4.4) in the SIDAM. Over the observation period cognitive function declined in 47.2% by a mean of 3.4 points. Sample mortality (N = 2,367): Mean age was 82.5 years (SD 3.4), 65.7% were female and 185 patients died during the observation period. Perceived social support showed no longitudinal association with cognitive change (F = 2.235; p = 0.135) and mortality (p = 0.332; CI 0.829-1.743). Conclusions: Perceived social support did not influence cognition and mortality over an 18 months observation period. However, previous studies using different operationalisations of social support and longer observation periods indicate that such an influence may exist. This influence is rather small and the result of complex interaction mechanisms between different components of social support; the emotional component seems to have no or only a limited effect. Further research is needed to describe the complex interactions between components of social support. Longer observation periods are necessary and standardised operationalisations of social support should be applied.

This article is from Nature Communications , volume 4 . Abstract Understanding climate change-associated tree mortality is central to linking climate change impacts and forest structure and function. However, whether temporal increases in tree mortality are attributed to climate change or stand developmental processes remains uncertain. Furthermore, interpreting the climate change-associated tree mortality estimated from old forests for regional forests rests on an un-tested assumption that the effects of climate change are the same for young and old forests. Here we disentangle the effects of climate change and stand developmental processes on tree mortality. We show that both climate change and forest development processes influence temporal mortality increases, climate change-associated increases are significantly higher in young than old forests, and higher increases in younger forests are a result of their higher sensitivity to regional warming and drought. We anticipate our analysis to be a starting point for more comprehensive examinations of how forest ecosystems might respond to climate change.

This article is from BMC Public Health , volume 13 . Abstract Background: A growing body of evidence has indicated a possible association between oral and gastrointestinal (orodigestive) cancers and periodontal disease or tooth loss. However, the evidence remains contradictory. This study investigated whether tooth loss, which is indicative of poor oral health and a potential source of oral infections, is associated with death from orodigestive cancer. Methods: The study included 656 subjects in Fukuoka prefecture, Japan, who were 80 years old at baseline in 1998. All subjects underwent oral clinical examination and answered a questionnaire to determine their background characteristics. Cause of death over the 12-year follow-up was recorded from the registers at the Public Health Centers and classified according to the WHO International Classification of Diseases. Statistical analysis of associations was performed using Kaplan-Meier and Cox multivariate regression analyses. Results: A significant association was observed between tooth loss (continuous variable) and cancer death (hazard ratio (HR): 1.03, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.00–1.07), after adjustment for potential confounders, including sex and smoking status. However, that association became insignificant in the fully adjusted model. On the other hand, tooth loss was significantly associated with orodigestive cancer (HR: 1.06, 95% CI: 1.01–1.13), even in the fully adjusted model including place of residence as a part of socioeconomic status. Conclusions: This study provides the first evidence in a prospective study in a Japanese population that tooth loss is associated with increased orodigestive cancer mortality, although the causality remains unclear.

This article is from BMC Medical Genomics , volume 7 . Abstract Background: Prediction models for old-age mortality have generally relied upon conventional markers such as plasma-based factors and biophysiological characteristics. However, it is unknown whether the existing markers are able to provide the most relevant information in terms of old-age survival or whether predictions could be improved through the integration of whole-genome expression profiles. Methods: We assessed the predictive abilities of survival models containing only conventional markers, only gene expression data or both types of data together in a Vitality 90+ study cohort consisting of n = 151 nonagenarians. The all-cause death rate was 32.5% (49 of 151 individuals), and the median follow-up time was 2.55 years. Results: Three different feature selection models, the penalized Lasso and Ridge regressions and the C-index boosting algorithm, were used to test the genomic data. The Ridge regression model incorporating both the conventional markers and transcripts outperformed the other models. The multivariate Cox regression model was used to adjust for the conventional mortality prediction markers, i.e., the body mass index, frailty index and cell-free DNA level, revealing that 331 transcripts were independently associated with survival. The final mortality-predicting transcriptomic signature derived from the Ridge regression model was mapped to a network that identified nuclear factor kappa beta (NF-κB) as a central node. Conclusions: Together with the loss of physiological reserves, the transcriptomic predictors centered around NF-κB underscored the role of immunoinflammatory signaling, the control of the DNA damage response and cell cycle, and mitochondrial functions as the key determinants of old-age mortality.

„Old Mortality” (Lipsk, 1846) - powieść historyczna Sir Waltera Scotta (1771-1832), opublikowana po raz pierwszy w 1816 roku. Akcja powieści rozgrywa się w południowo-zachodniej Szkocji w latach 1679 - 1689 i przedstawia klimat polityczny i religijny tamtych czasów oczami purytanina Henry'ego Mortona z Milnwood. Tytuł Old Mortality jest wynikiem błędu drukarza. Pierwotnie Scott chciał zatytułować powieść The Tale of Old Mortality. W istocie książka nie jest poświęcona starcowi o pseudonimie „Old Mortality” lecz relacjonuje historię, która miała być przez niego opowiedziana. W prologu autor opisuje rozmowę na opuszczonym cmentarzu pomiędzy Old Mortality'm a Peterem Pattysonem, fikcyjnym redaktorem książki. Old Mortality istniał faktycznie. Nazywał się Robert Paterson (1715-1801). Był kamieniarzem i spędził ostatnie 40 lat swojego życia podróżując po Szkocji, aby odnawiać inskrypcje na grobach prezbiteriańskich męczenników z XVII wieku. Scott spotkał go w 1793 roku na cmentarzu Dunnottar. Autor był szkockim powieściopisarzem i poetą. Wychowywał się i studiował prawo na Uniwersytecie w Edynburgu. Został adwokatem i sądowym urzędnikiem. Interesował się folklorem i historią Szkocji. Był pionierem romantyzmu nie tylko angielskiego, ale i europejskiego. Miał znaczący wpływ na rozwój literatury oraz zwiększenie literackiego prestiżu swojego kraju - Szkocji. Ożywił szkocką balladową poezję ludową, pieśni i legendy, przenosząc je na teren literatury uznawanej za artystyczną. W pierwszej fazie swej twórczości, czyli do 1812 roku, Scott uprawiał powieść poetycką. W późniejszym czasie wydał zbiór ballad szkockich, w których zawarł także swoje utwory. Od tego czasu stawał się coraz bardziej popularny. Jego twórczość poruszała temat baśniowo-rycerskich dziejów Szkocji, podejmował się także opisu angielskiego i francuskiego udziału w wyprawach krzyżowych. Pierwszą powieścią była „Waverley” (1814). Kolejne to m.in. „Rob Roy” (1818), „Narzeczona z Lammermooru” (1819), Ivanhoe” (1819), czy „Kenilworth” (1821). Scott pisał także dramaty, biografie i dzieła historyczne. Scott pisząc swoje powieści szczególnie skupiał się na jak wierniejszym odtworzeniu faktów historycznych oraz ukazaniu kolorytu danego regionu. Skupiał się na przedstawieniu fikcyjnych losów bohaterów, osadzając ich dzieje w czasie autentycznych wydarzeń historycznych. Stworzył ten gatunek praktycznie od podstaw. Scott był zwolennikiem odrębności politycznej Szkocji i piewcą jej walk o niepodległość. Przyczynił się do scementowania ustanowionej w 1707 roku unii realnej Szkocji i Anglii, dotąd połączonych jedynie unią personalną. Dzięki niemu Anglicy i Szkoci lepiej ją poznali. Także częściowo dzięki niemu historia stała się głównym przedmiotem zainteresowań naukowych na początku XIX wieku w Anglii i w Europie. Powieść Waltera Scotta wiązała się z wychowawczą, narodową misją i wywarła wpływ na inne literatury. W Polsce była kontynuowana przez Kraszewskiego i Sienkiewicza. Niniejszy egzemplarz powieści został opublikowany jako 97 tom ukazującej się od 1842 roku serii Collection of British Authors, w lipskiej oficynie wydawniczej Bernharda Tauchnitza (1816-1895).
