Abstract Annually, there are 7 million patients > 65 years who undergo noncardiac surgery in the US. This number is expected to increase by 30% over the next 3 decades, and given the prevalence of surgically correctable comorbidities, the elderly will continue to undergo multiple surgical procedures. Currently, it is unclear what factors initiate or promote the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Preclinical studies suggest that exposure to anesthesia and/or surgery could be one of the environmental exposures that increase AD risk through neuroinflammation and neuroapoptosis. However, previous studies indicated substantial disparities in AD risk by gender, ethnicity, and race, but failed to explore the role of anesthesia and/or surgery exposure in the risk for AD. This presentation will review the role of disparities and anesthesia and/or surgery exposure in the risk for AD in elderly surgical patients.

ABSTRACT Background: Over the last 30 years, a variety of studies reporting the effects of vitamin A on memory have been published. Objective: To perform a rigorous systematic review of the literature on vitamin A and memory in order to organize evidence-based data on the subject. Methods: Four authors carried out the systematic review in accordance with strict guidelines. The terms "vitamin A" OR "retinol" OR "retinoic acid" AND "memory" OR "cognition" OR "Alzheimer" were searched in virtually all medical research databases. Results: From 236 studies containing the key words, 44 were selected for this review, numbering 10 reviews and 34 original articles. Most studies used animal models for studying vitamin A and cognition. Birds, mice and rats were more frequently employed whereas human studies accounted for only two reports on brain tissue from autopsies and one on the role of isotretinoin in cognition among individuals taking this medication to treat acne. Conclusion: Vitamin A may be an important and viable complement in the treatment and prevention of Alzheimer's disease. Clinical trials are imperative and, at present, there is no evidence-based data to recommend vitamin A supplementation for the prevention or treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

The revelation of adult brain exhibiting neurogenesis has established that the brain possesses great plasticity and that neurons could be spawned in the neurogenic zones where hippocampal adult neurogenesis attributes to learning and memory processes. With strong implications in brain functional homeostasis, aging and cognition, various aspects of adult neurogenesis reveal exuberant mechanistic associations thereby further aiding in facilitating the therapeutic approaches regarding the development of neurodegenerative processes in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Impaired neurogenesis has been significantly evident in AD with compromised hippocampal function and cognitive deficits. Melatonin the pineal indolamine augments neurogenesis and has been linked to AD development as its levels are compromised with disease progression. Here, in this review, we discuss and appraise the mechanisms via which melatonin regulates neurogenesis in pathophysiological conditions which would unravel the molecular basis in such conditions and its role in endogenous brain repair. Also, its components as key regulators of neural stem and progenitor cell proliferation and differentiation in the embryonic and adult brain would aid in accentuating the therapeutic implications of this indoleamine in line of prevention and treatment of AD.
