Postoperative geriatric syndromes signal high vulnerability and poor outcomes in older adults

Older adults who develop a new geriatric syndrome - such as dehydration, delirium, or malnutrition - after major surgery face a dramatically higher risk of poor outcomes, including more complications, fewer days spent at home, and a significantly increased likelihood of dying within a year, according to findings published in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons.

Expert panel recommends new antibiotic strategies for resistant Bordetella pertussis

Pertussis, or whooping cough, remains a highly contagious respiratory infection caused by Bordetella pertussis. Despite inclusion of pertussis vaccines in immunization programs since the 1970s, outbreaks have re-emerged globally due to waning immunity and bacterial evolution.

Clogged brain drains may signal early Alzheimer's risk

"Drains" in the brain, responsible for clearing toxic waste in the organ, tend to get clogged up in people who show signs of developing Alzheimer's disease, a study by researchers from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has discovered.

Deep brain stimulation for treatment-resistant severe depression shows positive results

Deep brain stimulation – implants in the brain that act as a kind of 'pacemaker' – has led to clinical improvements in half of the participants with treatment-resistant severe depression in an 'open label' trial.

Brain recordings reveal short-lived effects of tirzepatide on food cravings

A rare glimpse into the brain activity of a patient with obesity and loss of control eating on tirzepatide, marketed as Mounjaro and Zepbound, revealed that the medication suppresses signaling in the brain's "reward center" thought to be involved in food noise – but only temporarily.
