Elevated platelet microparticles levels are associated with lipidic oxidation and inflammatory profiles in Alzheimer's disease
This study has evaluated the levels of PMPs in patients with AD. It has also evaluated whether the levels of PMPs are associated with abnormalities in the lipidic and oxidative profiles. PMPs were determined in the plasma of 81 elderly subjects and no difference was observed between samples from AD patients and control group. However, comparisons between high and low producers of PMPs were made for lipidic and oxidative profiles biomarkers. Increased PMPs levels were observed in apolipoprotein E allele ɛ4 (APOE4) carriers as compared to non-carriers. Also Lipoprotein(a) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances levels w...

Effects of differences in visual acuity on gait time and trunk acceleration when older women negotiate stairs
Conclusions Visual acuity decrements were associated with all aspects of upper trunk control when stair negotiation. Those with PBVA were jerkier than subjects with GBVA, and the former also exhibited more fluctuations in upper trunk movement. Thus, visual status must be considered when elderly individuals undergo functional training and physical therapy so that healthcare professionals can better assist their older adult women.
