BACKGROUND There are several mobile apps that offer tools for disease prevention and management among older adults, and promote health behaviors that could potentially reduce or delay the onset of disease. A classification scheme that categorizes apps could be useful to both older adult app users and app developers. OBJECTIVE The objective of our study was to build and evaluate the effectiven...

Background Autopsies can provide a good indication of the quality of patient care, in terms of the accuracy of clinical diagnosis and the quality of treatment given. Designs This was a cross-sectional study among clinicians at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH) in 2012. Data were collected with a 69-item, self-administered, structured questionnaire. A total of 215 questionnaires were sent ou...

This fall marks 20 years since the cloning of unc-119 was reported. Despite having a strong phenotype that makes animals somewhat difficult to grow and handle, unc-119 mutant rescue has become one of the most frequently-used markers for C. elegans transformation. In this Commentary, I describe the history of how unc-119 rescue traveled through the worm community, contributing to the development...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that is the most common type of dementia.AD includes 60_80% of dementia and most people with AD have more than 65 years old.AD causes losing neuronal activity by abnormal proteins. Plaques of beta-amyloid and tangles of “tau” protein can lead to AD. Recently evidence has found that AD may come from outside of central nerv...
