Disease classes have hitherto been based on anatomical pathology and structural lesions belonging to an earlier ecological medical model involving classification. The diseases of ageing now coming to dominate clinical practice evolve across the clinical threshold in middle age parallel to changes occurring in the internal environment. The concept 'multiple pathology' used to describe the plural...

This paper investigates how the association between cognitive achievement and self-rated health in middle age differs by race, and attempts to explain these differences. The role of cognition in health determination has received only limited empirical attention, and even less is known about how race may affect this relationship. Using data from the NLSY, I find that while Whites with higher cog...

The microstructure of HP stainless steel in aged and aged + solution annealed conditions and solutionized alloy 800 was characterized by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) equipped by EDS. All phases present in the above condition were described. The effects of solution annealing heat treatment temperature on the microstructure, te...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown that starvation induces small bowel atrophy, and that atrophy diminishes with aging. In this experiment, we assessed whether starvation-induced atrophy of proximal gut mucosa is associated with the Interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) signaling pathway in aged mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty 26-month-old IL-1R knockout mice and age-matched wild-type C57BL/6...
