Correction to: Age-related Behavioural Change in Cornelia de Lange and Cri du Chat Syndromes: A Seven Year Follow-up Study

This article is an incomplete presentation of the second part of the follow-up study on the evidence of age-related peculiarities of personality's preparedness to resocialize during the post-penitentiary period. Earlier, we were able to create and successfully test psychodiagnostic and psychocorrective programs for the resocialization of a delinquent person at the stage of release from prison. The A.R. Ratinov's value and standards theory of a criminal's personality is used as a basis for analysis and comparison of the subjects' system of value orientations. 201 individuals have been examined. The obtained results indicate that the subjects have lowered values in three categories of cognitive concept of personality's basic beliefs. The significance of the age factor in the subjects has been reliably found in such scales as «a tendency to force others to fit one's wants/tastes», «a tendency to change others», «categoricalness towards others», «inability to adjust oneself to others» and so on. Subjects have been found with manifestly excessive predisposition to aggression.

Individual Consistency

The responsiveness of the avian stress system declines with age. A recently published study of European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) found that a marker of biological age predicted stress responsiveness even in individuals of the same chronological age. Specifically, birds that had experienced greater developmental telomere attrition showed a lower peak corticosterone response to an acute stressor, and more rapid recovery of corticosterone levels towards baseline. Here, we performed a follow-up study using the same capture-restraint-handling stressor in a separate cohort of 27 starlings. Unlike the original study, we measured the response at two different age points (4 and 18 months). We did not replicate the associations with developmental telomere attrition observed in the previous study at either age point. However, a meta-analysis of the present results combined with those of the earlier study still lent some support to the conclusions of the earlier paper. Estimates of familial influence on stress responsiveness differed across the two age points. We found little evidence of individual consistency in stress responsiveness between 4 and 18 months. Peak corticosterone was significantly lower at the second age point than the first, though interpretation of this as age-related decline is problematic due to the samples having been analysed at different times.

This study evaluates the long-term results of pollicization for a congenitally absent or severely hypoplastic thumb. Twenty-nine patients with 34 pollicizations were divided to two groups: those with simple thumb hypoplasia (22 pollicizations) and those with radial longitudinal dysplasia (12 pollicizations). The patients were followed from 1.3 to 32 years, with a mean follow-up time of 11 years. The patients were examined clinically and radiologically, and they completed a questionnaire concerning satisfaction with appearance, function, and social interaction. The Percival score was also calculated. In both groups, grip and pinch strengths of the operated hands were inferior to the normative age-related values. Radiologically, flattening of the original metacarpal head was found in 20 out of the 34 operated hands. We found better patient satisfaction in the simple hypoplasia group than in the radial longitudinal dysplasia group. The functional outcomes and patients’ satisfaction did not correlate with the age of patients at operation. Level of evidence: IV

Background: Open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are two age-related neurodegenerative diseases of significant public health importance. Epidemiological studies have indicated that there might be an association between the disorders. Methods: Predictors of AD, including mixed and unspecified dementia, were analysed in a cohort of 712 residents aged 65–74 years, examined in a population survey in the rural district of Tierp, Sweden, from 1984 to 1986. To expand the sample size, 821 people were recruited by means of glaucoma case records established at the Eye Department in Tierp from 1978 to 2007. In this way, the cohort comprised 1,533 people, representing more than 21,000 person-years at risk. Medical records were reviewed to identify subjects diagnosed with dementia. Those with a follow-up duration shorter than 2 years were excluded. Results: By the conclusion of the study, in August 2020, 307 subjects had received a diagnosis of AD, including mixed and unspecified dementia. Of these cases, 55 were affected with definite OAG at baseline. Higher age and ischemic heart disease were the only predictors of AD identified. In multivariate analysis, adjusting for age, participation in the population survey and competing events, no association was found between OAG and AD (hazard ratio 1.08; 95% confidence interval: 0.80–1.47). Conclusion: In this long-term follow-up study of subjects aged 65–74 years old in Sweden, OAG was not associated with AD.
