Body donor programs in Australia and New Zealand: Current status and future opportunities

Anatomical Sciences Education, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 301-328, March 2025.
Abstract Body donation is critical to anatomy study in Australia and New Zealand. Annually, more than 10,000 students, anatomists, researchers, and clinicians access tissue donated by local consented donors through university‐based body donation programs. However, little research has been published about their operations.

Centenarian physical functioning evolution and COVID-19 impact: A study in Japan

JAR Life
Background: Studies show that centenarians' physical function and activities of daily living (ADL) levels improved recently. However, it is unclear whether this positive impact has been altered due to COVID-19, causing reduced ADL.

Methylation of the genes ROD1, NLRC5, and HKR1 is associated with aging in Hainan centenarians

BMC Medical Genomics, 2018
Background Human aging is a hot topic in biology, and it has been associated with DNA methylation changes at specific genomic sites. We aimed to study the changes of DNA methylation at a single-CpG-site resolution using peripheral blood samples from ...

Staging concept for aging management: Definition, mechanism, and coping strategies

VIEW, EarlyView.
We divided the overall aging stage into “pre‐aging”, “aging compensation”, and “aging disability”. For each stage, we delineate the clinical presentations, biological phenomena, theoretical underpinnings, and key management priorities. Abstract Aging, as a gradual and largely irreversible biological process, characterized by declining organismal ...

“I Have Never Visited a Health Center”: Ethiopian Centenarians’ Perceptions of Their Health Conditions

Journal of Ageing and Longevity
The global centenarian population is expected to reach 4 million by 2050, yet little is known about the health status of centenarians in Sub-Saharan Africa. A case study examined the health conditions and functionality of nine Ethiopian centenarians.

The practicality of different eGFR equations in centenarians and near-centenarians: which equation should we choose? [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Background No studies have examined the practicality of the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD), Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiological Collaboration (CKD-EPI) and Berlin Initiative Study 1 (BIS1) equations for the estimated glomerular ...

Performance of DRNNAGE for macroscopic age‐at‐death estimation in contemporary Brazilian identified skeletons

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract In global forensic literature, methods for estimating age in young individuals are more commonly addressed than those applicable to adults. This trend is also evident in Brazil. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of the DRNNAGE software for age estimation in Brazilian identified human skeletons. The sample consisted of 400 skeletons (

Health of Spanish centenarians: a cross-sectional study based on electronic health records

BMC Geriatrics, 2019
Background With the number of centenarians increasing exponentially in Spain, a deeper knowledge of their socio-demographic, clinical, and healthcare use characteristics is important to better understand the health profile of the very elderly. Methods We

Comprehensive microRNA profiling in B-cells of human centenarians by massively parallel sequencing [PDF]

, 2012
Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression and play a critical role in development, homeostasis, and disease.
