Article Abstract
Objective: This study aims to explore the cognitive status and urban-rural differences of empty nest older adult in China, analyze in depth the possible reasons for these differences, and provide reference for developing targeted prevention strategies for the risk of cognitive impairment.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted on empty nest older adult people from 35 cities and rural areas in 14 regions of Guangxi, China to evaluate their chronic disease prevalence, anxiety, depression, and cognitive status. The influencing factors and sensitivity of cognitive function impairment in empty nest older adult people in urban and rural areas were analyzed, and the Oaxaca Blinder decomposition method was used to analyze the urban-rural differences in cognitive function of empty nest older adult people.
Results: A total of 2083 empty nest older adult people were included, with a prevalence of the risk of cognitive impairment of 30.24%. Among them, the proportion of the risk of cognitive impairment was 33.33% (362/1086) in rural empty-nest older adult, higher than 26.88% (268/997) in urban empty-nest older adult. Older age, lower education level, and depression were common risk factors for cognitive impairment in both urban and rural empty-nest older adult ( < 0.05). Notably, rural empty-nest older adult showed sensitivity to the number of chronic illnesses and cervical and lumbar spondylosis. Among the differences in cognitive function among empty-nest older adult, 47.64% were related to the place of residence itself. Individual characteristic differences between urban and rural empty-nest older adult in education level (44.09%), number of chronic illnesses (27.74%), depression (15.75%), osteoporosis (10.79%), and age (6.19%) exacerbated the cognitive function differences.
Conclusion: The proportion of the risk of cognitive impairment among empty nest older adult in rural areas is higher than that in urban areas, and education level is the most important factor affecting the difference in cognitive function between urban and rural areas. It is suggested to improve health education in rural areas, narrow the urban-rural gap in cognitive function of empty nest older adult, and promote fairness in medical service supply.

This research sought to examine the prevalence and severity of hyperostosis frontalis interna (HFI) in the Chicagoland anatomical body donor population. The study further aimed to elucidate potential demographic risk factors for HFI, including sex, age at death, and structural vulnerability index (SVI), as well as any common comorbidities, as gleaned from death certificates. HFI is an irregular bony overgrowth of the endocranial surface of the frontal bone.

Background: To assess the efficacy and safety of tenecteplase in patients presenting within 24 hours of symptom onset with a large vessel occlusion and target mismatch on perfusion computed tomography.
Methods: ETERNAL-LVO was a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded end point, phase 3, superiority trial where adult participants with a large vessel occlusion, presenting within 24 hours of onset with salvageable tissue on computed tomography perfusion, were randomized to tenecteplase 0.25 mg/kg or standard care across 11 primary and comprehensive stroke centers in Australia.

Department of Pharmacy, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, Zhejiang, 325035, China.
Unlabelled: Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) is a severe complication of solid malignancies, including lung adenocarcinoma, characterized by poor prognosis and diagnostic challenges. This study assesses whether curvilinear peri-brainstem hyperintense signals on MRI are a characteristic feature of LM in lung adenocarcinoma patients.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data from multiple centers, encompassing lung adenocarcinoma patients with peri-brainstem curvilinear hyperintense signals on MRI between January 2016 and March 2022.
