Article Abstract
Behavioral evidence from the young suggests spatial cues that orient attention toward task-relevant items in visual working memory (VWM) enhance memory capacity. Whether older adults can also use retrospective cues ("retro-cues") to enhance VWM capacity is unknown. In the current event-related potential (ERP) study, young and old adults performed a VWM task in which spatially informative retro-cues were presented during maintenance. Young but not older adults' VWM capacity benefited from retro-cueing. The contralateral delay activity (CDA) ERP index of VWM maintenance was attenuated after the retro-cue, which effectively reduced the impact of memory load. CDA amplitudes were reduced prior to retro-cue onset in the old only. Despite a preserved ability to delete items from VWM, older adults may be less able to use retrospective attention to enhance memory capacity when expectancy of impending spatial cues disrupts effective VWM maintenance.

Impact of regular televisits on unplanned hospital admissions of nursing home residents in rural Germany: a pre-post intervention study.

Background: Hospital admissions occur frequently in nursing homes and are often preventable. Inappropriate hospitalisations due to nursing home-sensitive conditions pose significant risks to residents, place additional strain on emergency departments and hospitals, and thus lead to substantial healthcare costs. In light of demographic changes- characterised by an aging and increasingly multimorbid nursing home population- combined with ubiquitous lack of health care professionals, new strategies are urgently needed to ensure adequate medical care in nursing homes.

Aberrant expression of glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide receptors (GIPR) might regulate increased steroidogenesis in patients with ACTH-independent cortisol hypersecretion. This study investigated the presence of aberrant GIPR expression in patients with ACTH-independent cortisol hypersecretion and bilateral adrenal adenomas.Patients with bilateral adrenal adenomas, ACTH-independent CS and aberrant GIPR screened via mixed meal test were included.

Background: Since 2019, COVID-19 has substantially impacted global public health. Although pediatric cases generally manifest with mild symptoms, severe and even fatal outcomes have occurred. Despite the decreased viral transmissibility and pathogenicity observed in the post-pandemic era, identifying early clinical indicators for severe pediatric COVID-19 remains crucial.

Objectives: In recent years, the role of remnant cholesterol (RC) in the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases has gained increasing attention. However, evidence on the association between RC and subclinical atherosclerosis is limited. This study aims to examine the relationship between RC and atherosclerotic plaques in single and multiple vascular territories.
