This study found that finasteride may reduce inappropriate sexual behaviors in geriatric patients with vascular dementia and benign prostate hyperplasia without serious side effects, though some patients required additional medications.

This study found that men using 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors showed an increased risk for dementia shortly after starting treatment, which diminished over time, and a consistent association with depression, but no link to suicide.

This article outlines the rationale, design, major findings, and updated objectives of the ongoing Rotterdam Study, without presenting new research data.

This scoping review evaluates the connection between hypoxia and declining sex hormonal signaling in middle-aged individuals, proposing a "middle-aging hypovascularity hypoxia hypothesis" as a potential mechanism influencing age-related diseases, with implications for developing strategies to maintain healthspan.

Minoxidil improves blood flow and vessel flexibility, potentially helping with vascular stiffness.

This study examined the dementia risk in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia using alpha-blockers and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, finding no significant association between these medications and increased dementia risk compared to no treatment, but noted higher risk probabilities for certain 5ARIs.

This study suggests that low-dose radiotherapy may lead to temporary neurological improvements in some Alzheimer's patients, with 20% showing cognitive improvement at 6 months; it was well-tolerated, though larger trials are needed for confirmation.

In this study, androgenic alopecia was identified as an independent predictor of abnormal white matter hyperintensities in the brain, suggesting it may serve as a surrogate marker for cerebral small vessel disease linked to arteriolosclerosis.

This review explores how sex differences influence the pathophysiology, incidence, and treatment outcomes of ischaemic heart disease, and emphasizes the need for more sex-specific research.

This study found that a gintonin-enriched fraction from ginseng promoted hair growth in mice by stimulating dermal papilla cell proliferation and increasing hair follicles and weight.

In this study, researchers developed a simple, non-invasive method to monitor circadian gene expression using whole hair root cultures, finding that elderly dementia patients' peripheral clocks still oscillate similarly to younger, healthier individuals, which suggests cellular senescence minimally affects some aspects of circadian rhythms.

The authors report a dementia patient who developed severe trichotillomania unresponsive to SSRIs, which improved with quetiapine; they suggest dopamine blockade may manage such symptoms in dementia.

This study observed that a CARASIL mouse model demonstrated abnormal behavior, vascular and cellular changes, and upregulation of the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway, indicating its potential involvement in CARASIL pathogenesis.

This review summarizes evidence that apple and apple products may offer protective effects against various health issues, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, mild cognitive impairment, and skin conditions, due to their phytochemical content and mechanisms like anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions.

This research observed that Moracin M, a compound from the Moraceae family, significantly promotes hair growth and angiogenesis via the Wnt signaling pathway in human dermal papilla cells, offering a promising alternative to current hair growth treatments like minoxidil.

In this study, researchers are constructing a comprehensive data set from 997 adult participants in Japan to develop a statistical model that explores the relationships among various health parameters, aiming to enable personalized and preventive health care interventions based on empirical data.

This review highlights the importance of implementing dementia screening and cognitive evaluation in primary care to better prepare healthcare providers for managing cognitive impairment in the aging population.

This study highlights the growing role of artificial intelligence in vascular surgery, where AI improves diagnostic accuracy, surgical planning, and patient monitoring, ultimately enhancing clinical outcomes, shortening recovery times, and reducing healthcare costs.

This review discusses the potential of augmented reality to advance vascular and endovascular surgery by improving 3D anatomical understanding and reducing patient risk, but notes that further research is needed to overcome current technological limitations.

This presentation discusses the integration of artificial intelligence in vascular surgery, emphasizing its potential to enhance surgical outcomes, shorten recovery times, and improve patient safety, although the final decisions remain with the physicians.

This study highlights the increasing prevalence of hyperuricemia as a metabolic and vascular disorder due to lifestyle changes, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis of prehyperuricemia to prevent related non-communicable diseases and complications.

This review discusses the potential of evaluating hair follicle characteristics as early indicators of vascular impairment and organ damage in pre-diabetic individuals, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that compared to influenza patients, COVID-19 patients had fewer complications overall, but exceptions with higher risks were seen in hair loss, heart failure, mood disorder, and dementia.

This study discusses the need for better organization and specialized services in Alzheimer's prevention, focusing on modifiable factors like hearing impairment, vascular risk, and lifestyle habits, and highlights challenges and opportunities from the two-year experience of Brain Health services at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden.

In a mouse model of peripheral vascular disease, this study found that recombinant thymosin β4 treatment increased expression levels of certain proteins, promoting angiogenesis.

This article presents a case of limb tourniquet syndrome in an elderly patient with memory problems, emphasizing potential regional changes that can cause irreversible damage.

This article discusses a study linking tamsulosin treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia to a small but statistically significant increase in dementia risk compared to other treatments, without presenting new results.

This article reviews the possible therapeutic activities of Angelica gigas Nakai root extracts and their components, noting their potential effects on neuro-cognitive, metabolic, and other health conditions, and reports no new clinical results.

In this review, researchers examined the physiological benefits of Cheonggukjang, a salt-free fermented soybean paste, highlighting its various health-promoting components that may contribute to improved heart health, diabetes management, and cancer prevention, among other benefits.

In this study, researchers used EHR data from two large PCORnet networks to identify a range of long COVID diagnoses, highlighting varying post-acute risks across populations in NYC and Florida.
