Article Abstract
Longevity is rightly considered one of the greatest achievements of modern society. Biomedical research has shown that aging is the major risk factor for many diseases, so to find the right answers to aging it is necessary to identify factors that can positively influence longevity. This study investigated the clinical status, nutritional behavior, lifestyle, and social and community determinants of the well-being of young older adults and nonagenarians/centenarians in Salerno and province through the judgment of their physicians. Data were collected through an online survey. Multivariate Poisson and logistic regression models were used to calculate significant predictors of the outcomes of interest. The interesting finding was that cardiovascular disease was a risk factor for young older adults, while it was a protective factor for nonagenarians/centenarians, meaning that as age increased, heart problems tended to decrease. Certain foods were found to be a significant protective factor for both young older adult and nonagenarian-centenarian patients. In addition, psychosomatic disorders were found to be determinant for the young older adults, while depression was a risk factor for the nonagenarians/centenarians because they were not always gratified by their long lives and often felt like a burden on the family. The protective significant variable among the determinants of community well-being for both young older adults and nonagenarians/centenarians was the retention of honorary achievement. Based on our results, we are able to support the hypothesis of a difference between the young older adults and the nonagenarians/centenarians in clinical status, nutritional behaviors, lifestyle, and determinants of community well-being. However, societies need more social and educational programs that are able to build "a new idea of old age" by improving and supporting the young older adults and the nonagenarians/centenarians, with the goal of intergenerational solidarity, well-being, and social inclusion, as well as preventive interventions on lifestyles and nutrition, which will allow us to provide a new key to understanding aging.

Clinical-pathological patterns and prognosis of young women with breast cancer brain metastases: a single-center retrospective study.
J Neurooncol
September 2025
Sunnybrook Research Institute, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada.
Purpose: Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequent cancer among women and the second leading cause of central nervous system (CNS) metastases. While the epidemiology of CNS metastases from BC has been well described, little is known about the treatment patterns and outcomes of young women < 40 years of age with BC that is metastatic to the CNS.
Methods: In this retrospective analysis, we identified patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) to the CNS who were treated at the Sunnybrook Odette Cancer Center, Toronto, Canada between 2008 and 2018.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the prevalence of comorbidities in asthmatic and non-asthmatic individuals and to compare groups based on sociodemographic variables.
Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study used data from the 2017 National Household Health Survey (NHHS), which included 6053 individuals aged 15 years and older. The sociodemographic characteristics, behavioral risk factors, and comorbidities of the study participants were analyzed and Pearson chi-squared tests were used to assess statistical significance, and multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the relationships.
Health literacy in patients with inborn errors of immunity.
Allergol Immunopathol (Madr)
September 2025
Division of Immunology and Allergy, Department of Internal Medicine, Ankara University School of Medicine, Ankara, Turkey;
Background And Objectives: Health literacy (HL) is essential for managing chronic conditions such as inborn errors of immunity (IEI). Limited HL may lead to poor clinical outcomes and inefficient healthcare use; however, HL among IEI patients remains underexplored. The aim of this study was to evaluate HL levels in adult IEI patients using the Turkish Health Literacy Scale (TSOY-32) and to identify associated sociodemographic factors.

Background: Antituberculosis drugs can cause hypersensitivity reactions that interrupt treatment and increase morbidity. Early identification and management are essential to prevent complications and drug resistance.
Objective: To evaluate the clinical characteristics, risk factors, and outcomes of antituberculosis drug-induced hypersensitivity reactions over a 10-year period in a tertiary referral center.
Gender and age differences in the risk of allergic reactions following the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 and AstraZeneca vaccine using skin prick test and intradermal test among patients with high risk for hypersensitivity.

Faculty of Medicine, University of Prishtina, University Clinical Center of Kosovo, Prishtina, Republic of Kosovo.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the association between allergic reactions after COVID-19 vaccination and the history of high-risk allergy, individual predisposing factors such as age and gender, and COVID-19 vaccine type.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 234 adult patients (18 years old and above) who underwent a COVID-19 vaccine allergy test up until February 2023 in a Clinic of Allergy and Clinical Immunology in the University Clinical Center of Kosovo. All patients suspected of allergy underwent skin testing: SPT (skin prick test) and IDT (intradermal test) using either an mRNA (ribonucleic messenger acid) vaccine (BNT162b2, Pfizer-BioNTech) and/or an adenoviral vector vaccine (AZD1222, AstraZeneca).
