Genetic Markers in Biological Fluids for Aging-Related Major Neurocognitive Disorder
Aging-related major neurocognitive disorder (NCD), formerly named dementia, comprises of the different acquired diseases whose primary deficit is impairment in cognitive functions such as complex attention, executive function, learning and memory, language, perceptual/motor skills, and social cognition, and that are related to specific brain regions and/or networks. According to its etiology, t...
متن کاملMild Neurocognitive Disorder: An Old Wine in a New Bottle
The American Psychiatric Association has recently published the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). The DSM-IV category "Dementia, Delirium, Amnestic, and Other Cognitive Disorders" has undergone extensive revision. DSM-5 has renamed this category as "Neurocognitive Disorders" (NCD), which now covers three entities: delirium, major NCD, and mild N...
متن کاملIs biological aging accelerated in drug addiction?
Drug-addiction may trigger early onset of age-related disease, due to drug-induced multi-system toxicity and perilous lifestyle, which remains mostly undetected and untreated. We present the literature on pathophysiological processes that may hasten aging and its relevance to addiction, including: oxidative stress and cellular aging, inflammation in periphery and brain, decline in brain volume ...
متن کاملA Bit-String Model for Biological Aging
We present a simple model for biological aging. We studied it through computer simulations and we have found this model to reflect some features of real populations. 1 The problem of aging has been studied recently [1] also by computer simulations, useful in understanding how the survival rates for younger and older individuals evolve in time and affect the preservation of the species [2]–[4]. ...
متن کاملWerner syndrome: a model for sarcopenia due to accelerated aging
Werner syndrome (WS) is a rare inheritable progeroid syndrome caused by a mutation in the WRN gene. Although WS has been described as a characteristic appearance of very slender extremities with a stocky trunk, few studies have investigated the loss of muscle mass, fat mass distribution (body composition), and mobility according to age and sex. Therefore, the aim of this study was to precisely ...
