Assessing modifiable risk factors for dementia in the Czech Republic: findings from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe study
09-07-2025The role of modifiable risk factors in the development of dementia in Central and Eastern Europe remains understudied. We aimed to examine the association between 12 risk factors and the incidence of dementia in the Czech Republic and estimate the proportion of new dementia cases that can be attributed to these risk factors. Data of 3805 Czech participants in the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe (mean age: 70 years, median 6.5-year follow-up) were analyzed. Hazard ratios (HRs)...

Effects of the Thank You-Sorry-Love (TSL) program on psychological and physiological well-being of military spouses
09-07-2025This study examined the effects of the Thank You-Sorry-Love (TSL) program on depression, anger, marital satisfaction, and cortisol levels among military spouses.

Microglial BDNF modulates arketamine's antidepressant-like effects through cortico-accumbal pathways
09-07-2025Arketamine, the (R)-enantiomer of (R,S)-ketamine, shows even greater rapid and sustained antidepressant-like effects in rodent models compared to esketamine, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we used the chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) model to investigate how arketamine exerts its antidepressant-like effects. We found that activating cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) at S133 and methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) at S421 drives the transcription of...
