Severe infections and poor cognition link bidirectionally
Prior hospital-treated infection linked to lower general cognition (β = -0.11 SD), while each 1-SD higher cognitive score predicted a 36% lower risk…Prior hospital-treated infection linked to lower general cognition (β = -0.11 SD), while each 1-SD higher cognitive score predicted a 36% lower risk of future infection.
Early ablation is linked to lower cardiovascular risk after stroke
At 36 months, early ablation was linked to 1.54 more event-free months and an 11.17% absolute risk reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events…At 36 months, early ablation was linked to 1.54 more event-free months and an 11.17% absolute risk reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events versus medical therapy.
Higher fitness links to lower cognitive impairment in frail adults
In prefrail and frail adults, top-quartile cardiorespiratory fitness was tied to lower odds of cognitive impairment (OR 0.15) versus the lowest…In prefrail and frail adults, top-quartile cardiorespiratory fitness was tied to lower odds of cognitive impairment (OR 0.15) versus the lowest quartile.
