    Abstract Calcium (Ca2+) is a key second messenger in eukaryotes, with store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) being the main source of Ca2+ influx into non-excitable cells. ORAI1 is a highly Ca2+-selective plasma membrane channel that encodes SOCE. It is ubiquitously expressed in mammals and has been implicated in numerous diseases, including cardiovascular disease and cancer. A number of small molecules have been identified as inhibitors of SOCE with a variety of potential therapeutic uses proposed and validated in vitro and in vivo. These encompass both nonselective Ca2+ channel inhibitors and targeted selective inhibitors of SOCE. Inhibition of SOCE can be quantified both directly and indirectly with a variety of assay setups, making an accurate comparison of the activity of different SOCE inhibitors challenging. We have used a fluorescence based Ca2+ addback assay in native HEK293 cells to generate dose-response data for many published SOCE inhibitors. We were able to directly compare potency. Most compounds were validated with only minor and expected variations in potency, but some were not. This could be due to differences in assay setup relating to the mechanism of action of the inhibitors and highlights the value of a singular approach to compare these compounds, as well as the general need for biorthogonal validation of novel bioactive compounds. The compounds observed to be the most potent against SOCE in our study were: 7-azaindole 14d (12), JPIII (17), Synta-66 (6), Pyr 3 (5), GSK5503A (8), CM4620 (14) and RO2959 (7). These represent the most promising candidates for future development of SOCE inhibitors for therapeutic use.

    Abstract Objectives/hypothesis: We hypothesize that treating hearing loss through cochlear implantation in older adults will improve cognitive function.
    Study design: Prospective, interventional study.
    Methods: Thirty-seven participants aged 65 years and older who met criteria for cochlear implantation were enrolled. Subjects underwent preoperative cognitive testing with a novel arrangement of standard neuropsychological tests, including tests of general cognition and mood (Mini-Mental Status Exam [MMSE]), tests of verbally based stimuli and responses (Digit Span, Stroop, Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised [HVLT-R], Hayling Sentence Completion), and comparable visually based tests (Spatial Span, d2 Test of Attention, Brief Visuospatial Memory Test [BVMT], Trails A and B). Testing was repeated 12 months postoperatively.
    Results: One year postoperatively, subjects showed a statistically significant improvement in hearing and on the following tests of cognitive function: concentration performance of the d2 Test of Attention, Hayling Sentence Completion Test, HVLT-R (total and delayed recall), Spatial Span (backward), and Stroop Color Word Test. A subgroup analysis was performed comparing 13 participants with preoperative cognitive impairment (MMSE ≤ 24) to 24 participants with normal cognition (MMSE ≥ 25). In this subgroup analysis, a greater magnitude of improvement was seen in those with impaired cognition, with statistically significant improvement in Digit Span (scaled score), Stroop Word (T-score), Stroop Color-Word (residual and T-score), HVLT-R, and Hayling (overall). All verbally based test scores improved, and 75% of the visually based test scores improved.
    Conclusions: This study demonstrates the cognitive benefits of cochlear implantation in older adults 1 year after surgery. For older adults with cognitive impairment prior to cochlear implantation, the cognitive benefits were even greater than in subjects with normal cognition.

    Abstract Background: Prior research indicates that at least 35% of Alzheimer's disease and related dementia risk may be amenable to prevention. Subjective cognitive decline is often the first indication of preclinical dementia, with the risk of subsequent Alzheimer's disease in such individuals being greater in women than men. We wished to understand how modifiable factors are associated with subjective cognitive decline, and whether differences exist by sex.
    Methods: Data were collected from men and women (45 years and older) who completed the U.S. Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System Cognitive Decline Module (2015-2018), n = 216,838. We calculated population-attributable fractions for subjective cognitive decline, stratified by sex, of the following factors: limited education, deafness, social isolation, depression, smoking, physical inactivity, obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. Our models were adjusted for age, race, income, employment, marital and Veteran status, and accounted for communality among risk factors.
    Results: The final study sample included more women (53.7%) than men, but both had a similar prevalence of subjective cognitive decline (10.6% of women versus 11.2% of men). Women and men had nearly equivalent overall population-attributable fractions to explain subjective cognitive decline (39.7% for women versus 41.3% for men). The top three contributing risk factors were social isolation, depression, and hypertension, which explained three-quarters of the overall population-attributable fraction.
    Conclusions: While we did not identify any differences in modifiable factors between men and women contributing to subjective cognitive decline, other factors including reproductive or endocrinological health history or biological factors that interact with sex to modify risk warrant further research.

    Abstract Highlights Subjective Cognitive Decline (SCD) is one of the earliest noticeable symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. While there is no current cure for dementia, research indicates that at least 35% of dementia risk may be modifiable by decreasing exposures years or even decades before cognitive decline becomes clinically evident. Prior research has shown that the risk of dementia in individuals with cognitive impairment is higher in women than in men, as is the overall risk of dementia. Among a nationally representative population of over 200,000 adults, ages 45 years and older, SCD prevalence was 11% for both women and men. Women and men also had nearly equivalent overall population-attributable fractions to explain subjective cognitive decline (39.7% for women versus 41.3% for men). The top three contributing risk factors for both women and men were social isolation, depression, and hypertension, which explained three-quarters of the overall population-attributable fraction.

    Abstract Introduction: Women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Whether HDP is also associated with later-life dementia has not been fully explored.
    Methods: Using the Utah Population Database, we performed an 80-year retrospective cohort study of 59,668 parous women.
    Results: Women with, versus without, HDP, had a 1.37 higher risk of all-cause dementia (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.26, 1.50) after adjustment for maternal age at index birth, birth year, and parity. HDP was associated with a 1.64 higher risk of vascular dementia (95% CI: 1.19, 2.26) and 1.49 higher risk of other dementia (95% CI: 1.34, 1.65) but not Alzheimer's disease dementia (adjusted hazard ratio = 1.04; 95% CI: 0.87, 1.24). Gestational hypertension and preeclampsia/eclampsia showed similar increased dementia risk. Nine mid-life cardiometabolic and mental health conditions explained 61% of HDP's effect on subsequent dementia risk.
    Discussion: Improved HDP and mid-life care could reduce the risk of dementia.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate whether frailty or age increases the risk of postoperative complications following cochlear implant (CI) surgery.
    Study design: Retrospective cohort study.
    Setting: Tertiary academic center.
    Methods: An evaluation of all adult patients undergoing cochlear implantation between 2006 and 2020 was performed. The 5-item Modified Frailty Index (mFI-5, comprising preoperative history of pulmonary disease, heart failure, hypertension, diabetes, and partially/totally dependent functional status) was calculated for all patients included in analysis in addition to demographic characteristics. The primary outcome was postoperative complications following CI within a 3-month period. Major complications included myocardial infarction, bleeding, and cerebrospinal fluid leak, among others. Predictors of postoperative complications were examined using multivariable logistic regression reporting odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs.
    Results: There were 520 patients included for review with a median age of 68 (range, 18-94) years and a slight male predominance (n = 283, 54.4%). There were 340 patients (65.4%) who were robust (nonfrail) with an mFI of 0, while 180 (34.6%) had an mFI of ≥1. There were 20 patients who experienced a postoperative complication (3.85%). There was no statistically significant association between postoperative complications as a result of preoperative frailty (OR, 1.56; 95% CI, 0.98-2.48,
    Conclusions: CI is safe for elderly and frail patients and carries no additional risk of complications when compared to younger, healthier patients. While medical comorbidities should always be considered perioperatively, this study supports the notion that implantation is low risk in older, frail patients.

    Abstract Introduction: Retrospective studies using administrative data may be an efficient way to assess risk factors for dementia if diagnostic accuracy is known.
    Methods: Within-individual clinical diagnoses of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and all-cause dementia in ambulatory (outpatient) surgery, inpatient, Medicare administrative records and death certificates were compared with research diagnoses among participants of Cache County Study on Memory, Health, and Aging (CCSMHA) (1995-2008, N = 5092).
    Results: Combining all sources of clinical health data increased sensitivity for identifying all-cause dementia (71%) and AD (48%), while maintaining relatively high specificity (81% and 93%, respectively). Medicare claims had the highest sensitivity for case identification (57% and 40%, respectively).
    Discussion: Administrative health data may provide a less accurate method than a research evaluation for identifying individuals with dementing disease, but accuracy is improved by combining health data sources. Assessing all-cause dementia versus a specific cause of dementia such as AD will result in increased sensitivity, but at a cost to specificity.
