    Abstract Since genetic analysis of the GFAP gene for the diagnosis of adult Alexander disease (AD) has been established in 2001, several cases of both sporadic and familial cases of AD have been described. Except for one patient, all subjects revealed glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) mutations, and clinical progression of symptoms, mainly bulbar and pseudobulbar, were moderate. Here we report on a patient with acute onset of vegetative symptoms, rapid progression, and death within 2 months. Although histology and final magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were characteristic of AD, sequencing of the encoding GFAP gene revealed no mutation. We believe that this case report expands the so far known clinical spectrum and MRI dynamics of adult AD, and suggest that analysis of the coding part of GFAP may be inconclusive in rare cases. In such patients, only histology may lead to definitive diagnosis.

    Title translation Subjective feelings of digital exclusion.
    Abstract Background: Digital technologies play an important role in people's everyday lives. This applies not only to younger people but also increasingly more to older people. Nevertheless, older persons in particular use the latest technologies less frequently. For this reason, do older people feel particularly excluded compared to younger people? To answer this question, the perception of digital exclusion was measured based on a population survey of people aged 18 years and older.
    Material and methods: The data were collected with a survey (n = 1604) of Swiss individuals aged 18-98 years. The survey was conducted as a standardized online survey and was combined with an optional telephone survey.
    Results: According to the survey results, some people under and over 65 years of age currently feel socially excluded because they cannot always master current everyday technologies. Among the group aged 18-64 years old 3.6% feel a very strong sense of exclusion, and among the older group (65-98 years) 5.5%, which means that older persons tend to belong to the group of persons with very strong feelings of digital exclusion; however, the multivariate correlation analysis showed that the influence of age was levelled out by other variables (income and attitude toward technology).
    Conclusion: Although digital transformation is progressing there are still inequalities in technology use, which can manifest in feelings of exclusion. In addition to the question of which older individuals use or do not use technology, the issue of subjective feelings of exclusion should be given greater consideration in the future.

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has created a pattern of physical distancing worldwide, particularly for adults aged 65+. Such distancing can evoke subjective feelings of negative self-perception of aging (SPA) among older adults, but how this pandemic has influenced such SPA is not yet known. This study, therefore, explored SPA at different time phases of the COVID-19 pandemic to explain the pandemic's impact on SPA among older adults. The analysis employed a sample of 1,990 community-dwelling older adults aged 65 to 95 (mean age = 72.74 years; 43% female) in Switzerland. Data collection from different older adults within one study occurred both before and after Switzerland's first confirmed COVID-19 case. The descriptive analysis revealed that negative SPA increased, and positive SPA decreased, after the Swiss government recommended physical distancing. After the Federal Council decided to ease these measures, negative SPA slightly decreased and positive SPA increased. According to the multivariate analysis, individuals interviewed after the lockdown were more likely to report greater levels of negative SPA and lower levels of positive SPA. Age, income, and living alone also correlated with SPA. The results suggest that the pandemic has affected older adults' subjective views of their own aging, and these findings help illustrate the pandemic's outcomes.

    Title translation Digital transformation in the households of older people.
    Abstract Background: Digital technologies play an important role in people's everyday lives and this applies not just to younger people but increasingly to older people. The study examined how the use of and attitudes towards such technology have changed over the last 10 years through a comparison of 3 cross-sectional population surveys.
    Material and methods: The data came from three Swiss surveys (2009: n = 1105; 2014: n = 1037; 2019: n = 1130) of people aged 65 years and over, each of which was conducted as a standardized telephone interview and combined with an optional written survey.
    Results: The use of both the internet and mobile devices (smartphones, tablets) increased from 2009 to 2019: in 2009, 37.8% of the respondents used the internet, rising to 74.2% in 2019; however, people over 80 years old used these technologies less frequently. Although more and different internet resources were being used in 2019 than in 2009, the reasons given for not using the internet were similar and included security concerns, claims that using the internet is too complicated and the belief that learning to use it is too difficult. There has also been little change in the attitudes toward technology and the factors explaining internet use.
    Conclusion: Even though the digital transformation is progressing, inequalities in the use of technology remain. Even when these are levelling out, new technologies will likely create new inequalities.
