The emergency department (ED) poses unique challenges and risks to persons living with dementia. A longer ED length of stay is associated with the risk of death, delirium, and medication errors. This article seeks to determine whether ED length of stay differed by dementia status and trends in ED length of stay for persons living with dementia and whether persons living with dementia were at a higher risk for prolonged ED length of stay.

This study explores how humanitarian health workers are adapting to the impacts of climate change in vulnerable contexts. 

This case study of K-12 educators in British Columbia explores how teachers’ motivations influence their approaches to food systems education. Findings reveal a strong emphasis on helping students understand food’s role in sustainability and its links to environmental, economic, and social issues. The study highlights how educators’ intentions shape the practices they adopt in teaching about food systems.

This study investigated VGLUT1 and VGLUT2 expression in the medial temporal lobe and superior temporal gyrus in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The findings reveal region-specific vulnerabilities, with significantly lower VGLUT1 in the dentate gyrus and VGLUT2 in the subiculum and superior temporal gyrus, suggesting potential therapeutic targets that require further exploration.

This review describes recent clinical contributors to ginseng components in clinical tests and introduces emerging evidence that ginseng components could be novel candidates for cognitive improvement in older individuals, as ginseng components improve SMI cognition and exhibits add-on effects when co-administered with early AD dementia drugs. The mechanism behind the beneficial effects of ginseng components and how it improves cognition are presented.

This article discusses age-related changes in species-typical behaviors, such as exploration and grooming, in female 5xFAD mouse model of Alzheimer's disease, suggesting that these behaviors may serve as valuable indicators for modeling the decline in activities of daily living observed in AD patients and assessing the efficacy of potential therapeutics.

This study aimed to assess the correlation between antidiabetic agents and platelet characteristics, hoping to provide a potential mechanism of TZDs neuroprotection in AD

Interesting study on examining the potential molecular mechanism of YGJ using network pharmacology to investigate how Traditional Chinese Medicine disease treatment offers numerous benefits when treating chronic hepatitis.

This Article supports SDG3 by investigating the barriers to receiving childhood hepatitis B vaccines in Laos. The findings suggest that socioeconomic factors play a substantial role in the variation in vaccine coverage, particularly household income and education.

This Article supports SDG 3 by demonstrating the effectiveness of assisted partner services in Kenya to test the partners of people who inject drugs for HIV and hepatitis C, and support linkage to and engagement in care among those who are positive for either infection.
