There is evidence that social relationships may modify cognitive decline in older people. We examined the prospective association between social support and cognitive function among community-dwelling older people. Japanese adults recruited at health...
Background: The link between arterial stiffness and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in patients on hemodialysis (HD) has been receiving increased attention. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between cognitive function and...
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI), including memory loss, has been attracting attention in Japan. This study assessed the effect of new complete dentures provision alone and with dietary intervention on cognitive functions assessed using the Japanese v...
Sedentary behavior and cognitive impairment have a direct impact on patients’ outcomes. An energy metabolic disorder may be involved in the overlap of these comorbid conditions (motoric cognitive risk (MCR)) in patients with chronic obstructive...
Diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia. However, how the clinical characteristics of MCI patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are linked to sarcopenia and/or its criteria remain to be elucidated. Japanes...

To mitigate the impact of dementia, initiating early intervention is important. This study aims to investigate the associations between deterioration in oral function and cognitive decline in older outpatients whose oral health was maintained in the...
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is reportedly a potential tool to understand the neural network; however, the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying cognitive function change remain unclear. This study aimed to explore the cogni...
Previous studies have shown that dietary fatty acid intake is associated with the risk of developing dementia. However, its association with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) remains controversial. Therefore, we aimed to examine the association between...
The Gleeble-1500 hot simulation experimental equipment was used to investigate the effects of hot simulation compression on PH13-8Mo stainless steel with strain rates ranging from 0.1 to 10 s−1 and deformation temperatures ranging from 900 to 1...
CaMoO4 nanocakes with uniform size and morphology were prepared on a large scale via a room temperature reverse-microemulsion method. The products were characterized in detail by X-ray powder diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy,...
Objective: The tangram puzzle is a serious math puzzle game used to promote mathematic development in children, which improves visuospatial function and creativity. A game to improve cognitive functions is useful for patients with neurocognitive diso...
A stable, passively Q-switched Yb:CaGdAlO4 laser based on Mo:BiVO4 saturable absorber was demonstrated. Close observations of the structure and morphology of the nanoparticles by using transmission electron microscope, Raman spectrum and linear absor...
The effect of the self-separation of a single ultrashort light pulse of a parametric Raman CaMoO4 laser with birefringence phase matching under intracavity synchronous pumping by a mode-locked 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser is experimentally investigated and t...
Background: HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HANDs) continue to be a significant concern, despite the advancements in prognosis achieved through Combination Antiretroviral Therapy (cART). Neuropsychological assessment, recommended by internat...
In this paper, the generation of hydrogen from alkaline sodium borohydride solution by hydrolysis is studied. To obtain catalysts for efficient hydrogen generation, Ni, Mn, Mo, and Co metals were deposited on the Cu surface by the simple electroless...
Film-forming techniques and the control of heat release in micro-energetic chips or devices create challenges and bottlenecks for the utilization of energy. In this study, promising nano-Al/MoO3 metastable intermolecular composite (MIC) chips with an...
UV irradiation is an essential factor in natural and artificial climate in modern environmental conditions, which has a constant effect on living systems. Collagenase, bromelain, ficin, papain (Sigma-Aldrich: St. Louis, MO, USA) and trypsin (MP biome...
Objective: High-density lipoprotein cholesterol efflux function may prevent brain amyloid beta deposition and neurodegeneration. However, the relevance of this finding has not been established in the diverse middle-aged population. Methods: We examin...
This study compared the chemical, structural, and luminescent properties of xerogel-based ceramic powders (CPs) with those of a new series of crystallized aerogels (CAs) synthesized by the epoxy-assisted sol–gel process. Materials with differen...
Background/Objectives: Population aging requires scalable approaches for early identification of cognitive decline, particularly mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Although the full 11-task BrainOK smartphone assessment showed excellent discrimination...
Myeloid leukemia (ML) is one of the major health concerns from exposure to radiation. However, the risk assessment for developing ML after exposure to space radiation remains uncertain. To reduce the uncertainty in risk prediction for ML, a much incr...
