Prescription analgesic overuse in older adults: Can we mitigate this growing problem?
AGING MEDICINE, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 294-296, December 2022., 2022 With older adults already on numerous prescription medications to manage their chronic conditions, the addition of pain medications could impose an even greater burden due to dependency issues. We need to understand the use of chronic pain medication, especially opioids, discuss current strategies and gaps, and offer potential solutions to mitigate ...

Asymptotics of the overlap distribution of branching Brownian motion at high temperature [PDF]
arXivAt high temperature, the overlap of two particles chosen independently according to the Gibbs measure of the branching Brownian motion converges to zero as time goes to infinity. We investigate the precise decay rate of the probability to obtain an overlap greater than $a$, for some $a>0$, in the whole subcritical phase of inverse temperatures $\beta ...

Macrophage HM13/SPP Enhances Foamy Macrophage Formation and Atherogenesis
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Previous research suggests that AIP may prevent atherogenic foamy macrophage formation. This study reveals that AIP, via its chaperone interaction with AHR, inhibits p38‐c‐JUN‐mediated transactivation of HM13, which encodes the ERAD protease HM13/SPP. HM13/SPP promotes foamy macrophage formation in addition to atherogenesis and plaque foamy macrophage ...
