Reconsidering the Clinical Fellowship: Lessons From the 2025 Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Clarification for Speech-Language Pathology Services to Older Adults

Amber Heape

The 2025 Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) clarification, which initially excluded clinical fellows (CFs) from the definition of a qualified speech-language pathologist, revealed broader issues in how the clinical fellowship aligns with contemporary licensure and health care systems. Although CMS later clarified that provisionally licensed CFs could bill under state law, the rapid shift in guidance resulted in uncertainty, hiring delays, and care disruptions for older adults in Medicare-funded settings …

Association Between Hair Cortisol, Sarcopenia, and Sarcopenic Obesity: Results From the ELSA ‐Brasil Study

Christiano Barbosa da Silva, Isiyara Taverna Pimenta, Rosane Harter Griep, Arlinda Barbosa Moreno, Isabela Judith Martins Bensenor, Sandhi Maria Barreto, Maria Inês Schmidt, Anissa Daliry, Maria de Jesus Mendes da Fonseca

ABSTRACT Objectives Hair cortisol has been increasingly used as an important biomarker of chronic stress, as it reflects prolonged systemic exposure to cortisol over time. Such exposure has been associated with alterations in body composition; however, the associations with sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity have still received little attention in the scientific literature on aging. The study aimed to assess the association between hair cortisol, dynapenia, sarcopenia, and sarcopenic obesity in a multicenter and mul …

Sex differences in dementia with Lewy bodies: a systematic review

Heidi Isaksen, Karina Fuglestein Bru, Alexey Shadrin, Per Selnes, Ole A. Andreassen, Arvid Rongve, Jodi Maple Grødem

Abstract Sex differences are increasingly recognized across neurodegenerative disorders, including Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB). Despite ongoing refinement of diagnostic criteria, DLB remains frequently misdiagnosed—particularly among females—reflecting gaps in our understanding of sex-specific disease presentation. Thus, there is a need to understand how clinical features, symptom patterns, and biomarkers manifest differently in female versus male patients with DLB. This review aims to synthesize current eviden …

Occult Lacrimal Pathology in Young Versus Older Patients With Presumed Primary Acquired Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction: Implications for Preoperative Imaging

Steffie Arès, Charlotte Lussier, Olivia Serhan, Myriam Belaiche, Evan Kalin-Hajdu

Purpose: Approximately 50% of ASOPRS surgeons consider young age to be an indication for imaging in patients with nasolacrimal duct obstruction. This practice is rooted in the assumption that young age confers a higher risk of clinically occult disease. This study examines whether young age is, in fact, associated with clinically occult lacrimal pathology. Methods: A retrospective multicenter chart review was conducted at the Université de Montréal on consecutive patients with clinically presumed primary acquired n …

Weight trajectories in virally suppressed people with HIV compared to matched people without HIV, and predictors of weight gain: a 3-year cohort study from the US TRIO Healthcare Network

Graeme Moyle, Janna Radtchenko, Joshua Gruber, Megan Dunbar, Cal Cohen, Neia Prata Menezes, Isobel McEwen, Paul Sax, Grace McComsey, Karam Mounzer, Moti Ramgopal, Steven Santiago, Paul Benson, Monica Mercon, Richard Elion

Background: Weight gain in people with HIV (PWH) has generated concern regarding metabolic consequences of antiretroviral therapy (ART). It is unclear whether weight gain differs between virally suppressed (VS) PWH and people without HIV (PWoH) when accounting for key characteristics, or which clinical and demographic factors drive weight gain in VS PWH. Methods: This retrospective observational cohort study utilized electronic records from 12 US federally qualified health centers (January 2015-August 2023). Part A …

When the Brain Grows Old Too Soon: Aging and Senescence as a Driver of MS Progression

Sienna S. Drake, Aliyah Zaman, Alyson E. Fournier

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease. While onset usually occurs in young adulthood, older age worsens MS prognosis with accelerated accumulation of disability and higher susceptibility to the progressive form of MS, characterized by continuous symptoms without periods of remission. Treatment responsiveness also declines with age, changing the landscape of available therapies for older patients. Recent work has begun to uncover an accelerated aging and senescence-like phen …

BMI, Comorbidity Burden, and Postoperative Delirium in Older Adults: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Cheol Lee, Young Jean Ahn

BACKGROUND: Postoperative delirium (POD) is a serious complication in older surgical patients. Although both body mass index (BMI) and comorbidity burden influence perioperative outcomes, it is unclear whether an “obesity paradox” applies to POD and, crucially, whether comorbidity burden modifies that relationship. We therefore examined the independent association of BMI with POD and formally tested whether comorbidity burden, measured by the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), modifies this association in older adul …

Walking on the Number Line: A Playful and Embodied Group Intervention for People with Acquired Number Deficits (Acalculia)

Yael Benn, Georgios Kountouriotis, Verena Christin-Pavel, Maryam Hussain, Tam Dibley, Mark Jayes, Berzan Cetinkaya

Numbers-skills are affected in as many as 65% of cases following a stroke or a brain-injury, a condition termed ‘acalculia’. Post-stroke numerical skills interventions have to-date focused on using intense repetitions (‘drill’), in one-to-one settings. However, while ‘drill’ is needed, there is increasing evidence that learning (and re-learning) of numerical skills may be enhanced by additional techniques, informed by current educational and cognitive neuroscience theories. We report on a mixed-methods feasibility …

Shared Metabolic–Proteinopathy Axis in Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's Disease: Evidence for a Convergent but Not Identical Disease Spectrum

Shun‐yu Yao, Miao‐qiao Du, Lan‐xin Lin, Xu‐hui Kang, Dai‐yi Jiang, Yong Peng

ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are the two most prevalent neurodegenerative disorders globally and have long been classified as clinically and pathologically distinct syndromes. AD is defined by amyloid‐β (Aβ) plaques and tau‐positive neurofibrillary tangles, whereas PD is characterized by α‐synuclein aggregation and progressive degeneration of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons. However, mounting evidence has blurred the traditional boundaries between these disorders, revealing exte …

How many bromeliads are there? History and future perspectives of species scientific discovery in the pineapple family

Georg Zizka, Maria‐Judith Carmona‐Higuita, Eric Gouda, Elton M. C. Leme, Alexander Zizka

Societal Impact Statement It remains unclear how many plant species are not yet recorded by science. We illustrated the process by which species of the pineapple family in tropical America have been newly described to science to date, and we estimated how many species may still await scientific discovery in this group. We found that almost half of the species remain scientifically undiscovered and that the scientific discovery of new species is increasingly done by regional scientists. Our results stress the gap in …

Chikungunya in older people: a guide for primary care nurses

Victoria Browne, Nicky Longley, Jessica Manson, Anna M Checkley

Chikungunya is a mosquito-borne viral infection with an expanding global spread, driven by climate change and increased international travel, leading to more older people and people with long-term health conditions travelling abroad. Chikungunya is characterised by sudden-onset fever and severe joint pain; however, older adults may present atypically, with milder or absent fever and non-specific symptoms, increasing the risk of delayed diagnosis. Pre-travel advice, vaccination and mosquito bite avoidance are key fo …

Psychosocial interventions in childhood dementia: a call for action

Mustafa Atee, Rebecca Lloyd, Kristina L. Elvidge, Gail Hilton, Thomas Morris

Abstract Childhood dementia (CD) is a complex, rare, often under-recognised, and incurable neurogenetic group of disorders with neuromotor-behavioural symptoms and poor survival outcomes. Despite profound impacts, CD remains neglected and underfunded compared to other paediatric diseases. Psychosocial and rehabilitation interventions, widely recognised as valuable in adult dementia, are underexplored in CD. Integrating these supports into policy, expanding research investment and formally recognising CD are critica …
