Article Abstract
Perception of risk is known to change throughout the lifespan. Previous studies showed that younger adults are more prone to risk behaviours than older adults. Do these age-related differences influence risk perception during a pandemic crisis? Here, we investigated how age influenced predicted risk during the COVID-19 emergency state in Portugal. We show that time-projected estimations (e.g., appraisals based on 'now' vs. 'in two weeks' time', or 'in four weeks' time') of both risk behaviour and importance of transmission prevention decrease over time. Importantly, projected risk decreased more steeply for younger than older adults. Our findings suggest that younger adults have a different perception of epidemic-related risk than older adults. This seems to support the view that public health policy making during epidemics should differentially target younger adults.

Live zoster vaccination and hepatobiliary risk reduction: a nationwide South Korean study.
Korean J Intern Med
September 2025
Division of Gastroenterology, ChungAng University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Background/aims: Herpes zoster (HZ) vaccination is primarily administered to prevent shingles, yet its systemic immunomodulatory effects may offer protection against other organ-related diseases, including hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases. Therefore, this emulated target trial aimed to evaluate whether live HZ vaccination reduces the long-term risk of hepatobiliary diseases in older adults.
Methods: We conducted a nationwide, population-based cohort study in South Korea (n = 2,207,784 individuals aged ≥ 50 years) from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2021, with follow-up until January 31, 2024.
Decisional Conflict of Proxies in the Thrombolysis Decision-Making Process for Acute Ischaemic Stroke Patients.
Int J Nurs Pract
October 2025
First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, Henan, China.
Background: Despite being efficacious for acute ischemic stroke, treatment with thrombolysis is often delayed because of the inaccessibility of informed consent from patient proxies. Decisional conflict could be an important contributor to this delay; however, its influencing factors remain unknown. This study sought to survey the decisional conflict of proxies for sufferers of acute ischaemic stroke and explore the influencing factors.

Unraveling the Molecular Basis of Extracranial Glioblastoma Metastasis: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Neuropathology
October 2025
Pathology Department, Complejo Hospitalario Universitario de Toledo, Toledo, Spain.
Glioblastoma (GB), IDH-wildtype (IDH-wt), is the most prevalent primary malignant brain neoplasm in adults. Despite adjuvant therapy, the prognosis for these tumors remains dismal, with a median survival of around 15-18 months. Although rare, extracranial metastases from GB are reported with increasing frequency, likely due to advancements in follow-up, treatments, and improved patient survival.
