The Metabolic Topography of Normal Aging [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism, 1996
Normal aging is associated with the degeneration of specific neural systems. We used [ 18 F]fluorode-oxyglucose (FDG)/positron emission tomography (PET) and a statistical model of regional covariation to explore the metabolic topography of this process.

Normal aging and AIDS

Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics, 2003
Normal aging is accompanied by a wide range of changes in brain structure and function. In this work we seek to examine the hypothesis that normal aging results in neuropsychological findings similar to those produced by neuropsychological impairment related to AIDS.

The “Normal Pathophysiology” of Aging

Care Management Journals, 1999
The contemporary goal of geriatrics is to limit the degeneration and deterioration of structure and function that threatens older individuals. This article suggests a different possibility. Since some structural and physiological changes generally occur, maintaining function surely is an important goal.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF NORMAL AGING

Psychiatric Clinics of North America, 1997
Health care providers need to be aware of the normal aspects of the aging process as well as exceptions that may necessitate clinical intervention. Although many exceptions exist, aging involves a heightened susceptibility or vulnerability to physiologic, psychological, and sociocultural insult. Sensory systems become less sensitive and acute, lifelong

Cancer and normal ageing

Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, 1984
Cancer has a monoclonal origin in a pre-mitotic cell and usually a multistep pathogenesis. The initiation of tumor development and most stages in tumor progression involve point mutations, chromosomal rearrangements, and often changes in gene dosage. Simultaneously, there is continuing selection of the cell clones most resistant to growth-regulating ...

The Odds on Normal Aging

1985
In spite of today’s ignorance about so many different diseases, including most of the chronic illnesses associated with aging, there is the most surprising optimism, amounting to something almost like exhilaration, within the community of basic biomedical researchers. There has never, I think, been a time quite like the present.

Normal brain aging: a commentary

Neurobiology of Aging, 2003
Brain gerontology encounters problems that, analogically, are similar with those encountered in biogerontology in general. These problems are namely interactions between aging per se, stress response and bioenergetics. These interaction exist for instance as concerns cross-talks between stress response- and senescence-specific signaling pathways ...

Reexamining the boundaries of the ‘normal’ in ageing

Nursing Inquiry, 2011
O’ROURKE HM and CECI C. Nursing Inquiry 2013; 20: 51–59 
Reexamining the boundaries of the ‘normal’ in ageingTextbooks and policy documents tend to present the boundary between normal and abnormal ageing as natural and clearly demarcated. In this study, we trouble the notion of natural and clearly demarcated boundaries between normal and abnormal ...

DREAM RECALL IN THE NORMAL AGED*

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 1969
A bstract Recall from REM‐period awakenings was studied in the elderly. Twenty‐seven subjects (age range, 66 to 87 years) each slept one or two nights at the laboratory. From 166 REM awakenings there were 92 (55.4 per cent) instances of recall of dream content.

Verb Naming in Normal Aging

Applied Neuropsychology, 1999
Few studies have examined verb naming in normal aging, although decline in the ability to name nouns has been well documented. In this study, we examined longitudinal performance on the Action Naming Test (ANT), a confrontation naming test for verbs.
