Abstract

To determine the prognostic value of frailty and comorbidity for outdoor mobility loss and mortality in the elderly. The retrospective study was conducted among outpatients aged ≥60 years. Patients with ≥3 chronic illnesses were treated by doctors who had undergone a 72-hour geriatric training. The outdoor low-mobility group comprised patients who failed to visit a doctor because of decreased outdoor mobility during the 3-year follow-up period. The outdoor high-mobility group comprised participants with no outdoor mobility loss. 5678 patients with a mean age of 71.0 ± 0.1 years were included in the study. The risk of outdoor mobility loss rose by 4% per year with men developing it 30% more than women. The effect of frailty was of particular importance because it increased the risk of developing outdoor mobility loss by 70%. Comorbidity was not associated with a higher risk of outdoor mobility loss, but the investigators did not take into account all possible illnesses, or the severity of disease. The loss of outdoor mobility was associated with increase in mortality. Early detection of frailty can help predict outdoor mobility loss and could reduce mortality among older people.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
