Suite à une conférence débat menée en janvier 2018 sur l'initiation de la dialyse, le choix de la modalité et la prescription, il a été recommandé le recours à la prise de décision partagée entre le patient et l'équipe de soins pour établir des objectifs de traitement permettant au patient d'atteindre ses propres objectifs de vie et au clinicien de prescrire une dialyse personnalisée de haute qualité1. Mais concrètement, qu'est-ce que la décision médicale partagée (DMP) ? Quels sont les avantages de la DMP et quels sont les moyens possibles pour la développer ? Le Dr Pierre Housset, néphrologue au Centre Hospitalier Sud Francilien, répond à vos questions.

Today, we are joined by Drs. Henry Roediger and Mark McDaniel.Henry L. Roediger III is one of the world's foremost experts on human memory and learning. Currently a distinguished professor at Washington University in St. Louis, Roediger has spent his career unlocking the mysteries of how we remember—and forget—what matters most. His pioneering experiments have revealed the surprising power of retrieval practice, the perils of false memories, and the counterintuitive strategies that lead to lasting learning. He is the co-author of the bestselling book Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning, which has transformed classrooms and workplaces worldwide. Known both for his experimental rigor and his gift for making science practical, Roediger's insights help learners and leaders everywhere confidently apply what science now knows about how memory really works.Mark A. McDaniel is a leading authority on how people learn, age, and remember to act on their intentions. A professor of psychological and brain sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, McDaniel's research has deepened our understanding of prospective memory, cognitive aging, and the real-world factors that help—or hinder—lasting knowledge. As co-author of Make It Stick, he brings evidence-based, classroom-tested recommendations to students, teachers, and organizations alike. McDaniel is celebrated not only for his breakthrough research, but also for his ability to translate science into actionable strategies—empowering learners to overcome distractions, boost recall, and build habits that stick for a lifetime.In this conversation, we explore the fundamental building blocks of learning and memory that challenge conventional wisdom about how we acquire knowledge. The doctors reveal why much of our traditional approach to learning is counterproductive and share insights from decades of cognitive science research. Key topics include:The three components of learning: encoding, consolidation, and retrieval processesWhy learning requires memory and how they're inextricably connectedThe counterintuitive nature of effective learning strategies and why difficulty enhances retentionInsights from memory athletes and their techniques like memory palaces and visual imageryWhy memory palace techniques work for older adults despite cognitive changesHow false memories form and what this reveals about the reconstructive nature of memoryWhy retrieval practice is superior to re-reading and highlighting for long-term retentionThe testing effect and how self-assessment drives more efficient studyingWhether you're leading training programs, designing educational curricula, or seeking to optimize your own learning, this conversation provides insights on how learning really works and offers strategies for more effective knowledge acquisition.Dr. Roediger and Dr. McDaniel's Book https://www.amazon.com/Make-Stick-Science-Successful-Learning/dp/0674729013 -Website and live online programs: http://ims-online.com Blog: https://blog.ims-online.com/ Podcast: https://ims-online.com/podcasts/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlesgood/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/charlesgood99 Chapters:(00:00) Introduction(01:00) Tool: Personal Journeys into Memory and Learning Research(04:00) Technique: The Three Components of Learning - Encoding, Consolidation, Retrieval(07:00) Tip: Why Learning Requires Memory and Connecting to Prior Knowledge(11:00) Tool: Counterintuitive Learning Strategies and Desirable Difficulties(14:00) Technique: Memory Athletes - Techniques, Abilities, and Limitations(19:00) Tip: Memory Palaces for Older Adults and Practical Applications(24:00) Tool: Working Memory, Attention, and Cognitive Overload Management(29:00) Technique: False Memories and the Reconstructive Nature of Memory(33:00) Tip: Retrieval Practice vs Re-reading - The Testing Effect(37:00) Tool: Self-Assessment and Efficient Study Targeting(39:54) Conclusion

BUFFALO, NY — September 16, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 17, Issue 8 of Aging-US on August 6, 2025, titled “Age-related trends in amyloid positivity in Parkinson's disease without dementia.” In this study, led by first author Keiko Hatano and corresponding author Masashi Kameyama from the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute for Geriatrics and Gerontology in Japan, researchers found that patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) diagnosed in their 80s showed a significantly higher rate of amyloid positivity—an indicator associated with Alzheimer's disease—compared to those diagnosed at a younger age. Importantly, none of the participants had dementia. These findings suggest that older patients with PD may face a greater risk of future cognitive decline and could benefit from early screening for Alzheimer's-related brain changes. Amyloid-beta is considered a key marker of cognitive decline. While it is known that amyloid accumulation contributes to PD with dementia, its role in patients who have not developed cognitive problems remains less understood. This study aimed to explore how age influences amyloid buildup in people with PD who do not yet show signs of dementia. The researchers analyzed data from 89 individuals with PD and no signs of dementia. Participants were divided into two age-based groups: those diagnosed before age 73 (LOW group) and those diagnosed at age 73 or older (HIGH group). Using cerebrospinal fluid samples, they measured levels of amyloid-beta, a standard method for detecting early Alzheimer's-related changes. The findings revealed that 30.6% of the older group tested positive for amyloid, compared to just 10.0% in the younger group. “[…] we elucidated the prevalence of amyloid positivity in patients with PD without dementia, whose mean age at diagnosis was 80.2 years, using CSF Aβ42 levels.” Interestingly, both age groups of Parkinson's patients had a lower rate of amyloid positivity than cognitively normal individuals of the same age in the general population. This unexpected result suggests that PD may alter how amyloid accumulates in the brain, possibly shortening the phase in which amyloid builds up silently before symptoms appear. The authors suggest that amyloid buildup could accelerate the transition from healthy cognition to dementia in patients with PD. The study also observed age-related associations with other biological markers of Alzheimer's disease, such as tau protein levels. As the global population continues to age and the number of older adults diagnosed with PD grows, identifying early warning signs of cognitive decline becomes increasingly important. These findings may help inform future screening approaches and support the development of therapies aimed at delaying or preventing dementia in people with Parkinson's disease.

Tendons adapt to training, but the mechanisms are complex. The Berlin Method emphasizes high loads for tendon adaptation. Muscle strength is important, but technique and application matter more. Calf muscles are notoriously difficult to grow in strength. Tendons require time to recover and adapt to training loads. Creep studies on tendons are often conducted in mechanical settings, not in vivo. Tendon strain measurements can vary significantly based on methodology. Individual differences in tendon response necessitate personalized training. Females may experience different tendon adaptations compared to males.

Age Diversity in the Workplace: Benefits, Challenges, and Strategies for EmployersIn this episode of Looking Forward Our Way, Brett and Carol are joined by Dr. Jennifer Crittenden, Assistant Professor of Social Work at the University of Maine and Associate Director for Research at the University of Maine Center on Aging. The focus is on the challenges and opportunities facing older adults as they transition into paid employment, and particularly on how volunteerism can act as a bridge to help them re-enter the workforce.Dr. Crittenden began by sharing her background in gerontology and her early research in older adult volunteerism. She noticed a fascinating trend: some older volunteers were leaving their unpaid roles because they needed or wanted to return to paid employment. This observation set her on a research path to better understand how older adults juggle different responsibilities—such as caregiving, volunteering, and work—and whether skills gained in volunteer opportunities could support their move into paid roles.Through a study funded by AmeriCorps, Dr. Crittenden discovered that many older adults indeed use volunteer experiences as a stepping stone back into employment—even if the volunteer programs themselves weren't specifically designed for that purpose. This realization led her and other researchers to ponder whether volunteerism could actually become a structured pathway to employment for seniors. Furthermore, her research highlighted the “spillover effect”: skills acquired through both in-person and virtual volunteering frequently enhanced other aspects of life, such as caregiving or community engagement.The partnership with AmeriCorps became more formalized when, in 2022, Dr. Crittenden's center was approached to help study a new round of demonstration grants focusing on workforce development for older adults. This new initiative required participants to integrate volunteerism into their program design, with the ultimate goal of aiding older adults in securing sustainable employment. Seven different pilot programs across the country were set up, each distinct in its local approach but unified in combining volunteer experience, community service, training, mentorship, and employment support.What makes this research so groundbreaking is its focus on identifying the “secret recipe”—the common elements across all seven pilot programs that effectively support older adults' transition to sustainable employment. The data, collected from over 150 participants in the first round, helps the researchers understand what motivates seniors, what keeps them engaged, and what drives successful placement into jobs.Looking at the demographics, the majority of participants were women (about 72%), which reflects broader trends in volunteerism. Most were between the ages of 60 and 70—prime years for retirement or semi-retirement—but the programs included participants up to 85. A striking finding was that many lived alone and were single, divorced, or widowed, implying a significant financial need to supplement single-income households.In terms of the nature of work, the positions targeted by these programs were generally paraprofessional roles—such as paralegals or early childhood educators—that often required participants to complete some form of certification or additional training. This requirement, while presenting barriers for some, helped others gain clear pathways into employment that matched their interests and skillsets.Motivation to participate in these programs was largely financial, but the data showed that earning new skills, having a sense of purpose, giving back to the community, and building social connections were also major drivers. This mirrors what we see among younger job seekers, emphasizing that these needs...
If you've ever doubted your ability to make muscle mass and strength gains after menopause, this episode is for you. It's not too late to gain strength and lean muscle mass can be gained at any age—even after 85. Based on a 2024 Study on Resistance Training in Older Adults by Int. Journal of Sports Nutrition & Exercise Metabolism, here's what happened and the results: Participants: 17 adults aged 65–75. 12 adults aged 85+. Program: Duration: 12 weeks, 3x per week Structure: Warm-up 4 lower body sets 3 upper body exercises (2 sets each) Stretching Results: Quadriceps strength increased in all participants 65–75 group: 1–18% 85+ group: 6–21% 1RM leg extension increased in all participants 65–75 group: 38% ± 20% 85+ group: 46% ± 14% Improvements were seen in lean mass, strength and functional activities like chair stands, gait speed, timed up-and-go. Defining Muscle Mass and Strength Gains After Menopause Exercise intensity is based on decreasing repetitions to muscular fatigue. Exercise volume is based on the number of sets. Considerations for Exercise Volume in Women in Menopause Volume = sets x reps x weight or total weekly workload. Start small (1–2 sets, 2x per week if inactive). Build to 3x only once consistent. Balance recovery: not just alternating workout/rest days, but also factoring in life stress. Menopausal women may need 48–72 hours between resistance sessions, per muscle group. For women post menopause; increasing the number of days per week to reach greater exercise volume can be problematic because of the need for balance with recovery days. We don't mean 1 day work, 1 day rest. It can mean 1 day of high intensity work and 2 or 3 days light or moderate exercise for another type for recovery. Start Your Strength Gains After Menopause The beginning phases of exercise should last longer for a woman starting in her 60s or 70s. Muscle, ligaments and tendons collectively are not as resilient at 60 as they were at 20. Since most early improvements are due to neural adaptations and heavier weights don't accelerate that, progress at a pace so you know you've exercised muscles but aren't sore or uncomfortable. You're in this for life. There's time. The adaptive response to resistance training is preserved even in males and females over 85. Protein & Resistance Training Two drivers of muscle protein synthesis: Resistance Training Adequate Protein. For metabolic health: ~100g/day (for 160 lb woman). For optimal fitness: closer to 160g/day. Protein recommendation for a 160lb adult is 60 grams of protein day. Only 46% of older adults get that. 5-Step Protein & Resistance Training Process: Track your current protein intake. Compare with recommendations based on age, weight, activity. Identify gaps without judgment. Close the gap gradually. Set short-term goals, especially starting with breakfast protein. Muscle Mass and Strength Gains After Menopause are Dependent On… Relative Strength Training Power decreased significantly after the age of 50 years and was negatively and strongly associated with mobility limitations. Mobility & Longevity Connection Strength must be paired with mobility to prevent limitations. Key focus areas: ankles, hips, upper back. Loss of mobility = harder to regain later. More… much more on mobility in upcoming posts. References: Journal of Cachexia Sarcopenia and Muscle. 2021, PMID: 34216098. Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging. 2019, PMID: 30932132.
