Article Abstract
We have created the tool BioAlder as an age prediction model based on the systems Greulich and Pyle (hand) and the Demirjian's grading of the third molar tooth. The model compiles information from studies representing a total of 17,151 individuals from several parts of the world. The model offers a solution where issues as group-wise data format and age mimicry bias are bypassed. The model also provides a solution for combining the two grading systems, hand and tooth, to one combined age prediction result assuming independency. We have tested our model of age prediction and the independency assumption on a separate data set from Lebanon with 254 young individuals. The prediction intervals of BioAlder covered most of the data points; however, we observed some outliers. Our analyses indicate at least a weak dependency between the two methods.

Histologic Chorioamnionitis and Neurodevelopment in Preterm Infants.
JAMA Netw Open
September 2025
Perinatal Institute, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Importance: Exposure to inflammation from chorioamnionitis places the fetus at higher risk of premature birth and may increase the risk of neurodevelopmental impairments, though the evidence for the latter is mixed.
Objective: To evaluate whether moderate to severe histologic chorioamnionitis (HCA) is directly associated with adverse motor performance, independent of the indirect mediating effects of premature birth.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This prospective, population-based cohort study recruited participants between September 16, 2016, and November 19, 2019, from referral and nonreferral neonatal intensive care units of 5 southwestern Ohio hospitals.
Cardiovascular Risk Prediction in Older Adults.
Curr Atheroscler Rep
September 2025
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.
Coping Profiles and Functioning During Emerging Adulthood: A Comparative Person-Centered Longitudinal Approach.
J Youth Adolesc
September 2025
Substantive-Methodological Synergy Research Laboratory, Concordia University, Montreal, QB, Canada.
Young adults use a combination of coping strategies to deal with challenges. Yet, limited research has focused on these combinations, as they differ across different profiles of youth and their implications during the major life transitions of emerging adulthood. Addressing this gap, the present longitudinal person-centered study assesses the nature, stability, predictors (stressful life events, sex), and outcomes (affect, attitude toward life, physical symptoms) of coping profiles during this period.

September 2025
Department of Neurosurgery, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA.
Purpose: Frailty measures are critical for predicting outcomes in metastatic spine disease (MSD) patients. This study aimed to evaluate frailty measures throughout the disease process.
Methods: This retrospective analysis measured frailty in MSD patients at multiple time points using a modified Metastatic Spinal Tumor Frailty Index (MSTFI).
Role of patient frailty in resection of newly diagnosed motor eloquent glioblastomas guided by a navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation and tractography approach.

September 2025
Department of Neurosurgery, Paracelsus Medical University, Breslauer Straße 201, 90471, Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany.
Purpose: Resection of glioblastomas infiltrating the motor cortex and corticospinal tract (CST) is often linked to increased perioperative morbidity. Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) motor mapping has been advocated to increase patient safety in these cases. The additional impact of patient frailty on overall outcome after resection of cases with increased risk for postoperative motor deficits as identified with nTMS needs to be investigated.
