Is aging associated with a diminished axon reflex response to local heating on the gaiter skin area?
Physiological aging is associated with an altered initial axon reflex response to local heating in the supramedial malleolar skin. Further work is required to determine whether these changes are more pronounced in frail and dependent groups and whether they could explain the higher incidence of skin ulcerations in the supramedial malleolar skin associated with venous insufficiency and neuropathy.
Those who gamble online appear to be more at risk for gambling-related problems, but the present findings alone cannot be used as evidence for that conclusion. Future research designs could combine longitudinal data collection and multilevel analyses to provide more insight into the causal mechanisms associated with online gambling.
