Non-REM Sleep Characteristics Predict Early Cognitive Impairment in an Aging Population
Objective: Recent research suggests that sleep disorders or changes in sleep stages or EEG waveform precede over time the onset of the clinical signs of pathological cognitive impairment (e.g., Alzheimer's disease).

Slowing gait speed precedes cognitive decline by several years [PDF]
AbstractIntroductionIn this longitudinal study, we aimed to examine if slowing gait speed preceded cognitive decline and correlated with brain amyloidosis.MethodsThe sample (n = 287) was derived from the Gothenburg H70 Birth Cohort Studies, with follow‐ups between 2000 and 2015.

Chronic rejection pathology after orthotopic lung transplantation in mice : the development of a murine BOS model and its drawbacks [PDF]
Almost all animal models for chronic rejection (CR) after lung transplantation (LTx) fail to resemble the human situation. It was our attempt to develop a representative model of CR in mice.

Jet breaks at the end of the slow decline phase of Swift GRB lightcurves
The Swift mission has discovered an intriguing feature of Gamma-Ray Burst (GRBs) afterglows, a phase of shallow decline of the flux in the X-ray and optical lightcurves. This behaviour is typically attributed to energy injection into the burst ejecta. At

Functional and Structural Adaptations of Skeletal Muscle to Microgravity [PDF]
Our purpose is to summarize the major effects of space travel on skeletal muscle with particular emphasis on factors that alter function. The primary deleterious changes are muscle atrophy and the associated decline in peak force and power.

The slow decline of the Galactic recurrent novae T Pyxidis, IM Normae, and CI Aquilae
A distinguishing trait of the three known Galactic recurrent novae with the shortest orbital periods, T Pyx, IM Nor, and CI Aql, is that their optical decline time-scales are significantly longer than those of the other recurrent systems.
