Article Abstract
We investigated age-related changes in the cognitive control of value-based and emotionally valenced information. In 2 experiments, participants completed a selectivity task in which to-be-recalled words differed in value and emotional salience. In Experiment 1, all low-valued words were emotional, and emotional valence (positive/negative) was manipulated between subjects. In Experiment 2, valence was manipulated within subjects, with the addition of a control condition in which all words (emotional and neutral) were equally valued. We found that older and younger adults recalled more neutral words than emotional words in both experiments when emotional words were low-valued, and more emotional words than neutral words in the control condition. Emotion did not interact with age in either experiment, suggesting that the impact of emotional saliency on memory is age-invariant. We also found that the number of items recalled was lower for older compared to younger adults in both experiments. Despite this, older and younger adults showed equivalent selectivity in terms of which words they recalled. These results suggest that older adults employ strategic control and use value-based information to guide memory processes equivalently to younger adults, even in the face of salient emotional information.

Cardiovascular Risk Prediction in Older Adults.
Curr Atheroscler Rep

Department of Medicine, Division of Cardiovascular Disease, University of Alabama at Birmingham, 521 19th Street South-GSB 444, Birmingham, AL, 35233, USA.
Purpose Of Review: This review examines cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction models relevant to older adults, a rapidly expanding population with elevated CVD risk. It discusses model characteristics, performance metrics, and clinical implications.
Recent Findings: Some models have been developed specifically for older adults, while several others consider a broader age range, including some older individuals.
Timing and contents of early palliative care preferred by patients with advanced cancer in Japan: an Internet-based questionnaire survey.

Department of Therapeutic Oncology, Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto University, Kyoto, 606-8507, Japan.
Purpose: To clarify the preferred timing and contents of early palliative care and preference for continued care delivery among patients with advanced cancer in Japan.
Methods: We conducted an Internet-based anonymous questionnaire survey on adult patients with advanced cancer. We assessed the patients' wishes for palliative care delivered by a team or at outpatient clinics while asymptomatic, as well as the preferred intervention timing and preference for continuing care lifelong.
Age interaction in associations between geriatric nutritional risk index and prognosis in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

To evaluate whether age modifies the association between the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) and overall survival (OS) in patients aged ≥ 18 years with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), we conducted a multi-centre retrospective study of 552 patients. Multivariable Cox regression with restricted cubic spline (RCS) modelling showed that GNRI was significantly associated with OS, but the relationship was non-linear (P for non-linearity = 0.0158).

Epidemiology Informatics, Centre for Health Analytics, Melbourne Children's Campus, Parkville, Victoria, Australia.
Background: Following the introduction of a funded recombinant shingles (RZV, Shingrix®) vaccination program in ≥65 years in Australia, clinician reports of shingles presentations shortly after vaccination emerged. We investigated whether there was an increase in shingles risk immediately post RZV vaccination in South-eastern Australia.
Methods: Two independent datasets- a general practice dataset and a statewide linked dataset- were analysed separately using self-controlled case series analyses (SCCS) with 21-days post-vaccination as the risk window.
Real-world outcomes of neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy in patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer: Predictors of surgery, pathologic complete response, and event-free survival.

Thoracic Oncology Service, Department of Medicine, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Weill Cornell Medical College, New York, New York, USA.
Background: Trials of neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy (chemoIO) have changed the standard of care for resectable nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study characterizes the outcomes of off-trial patients who received treatment with neoadjuvant chemoIO.
Methods: The authors analyzed records of patients with stage IB-III NSCLC who received neoadjuvant chemoIO with an intent to proceed to surgical resection at three US academic institutions.
