Dementia is a global leading cause of disability and death among older adults, and there is a need to carefully evaluate existing evidence on related risk factors to guide future research. This review summarized and evaluated the most updated evidence on associations of various magnesium forms (supplements, dietary intake, and biomarkers) with cognitive outcomes in adults, based on evidence from randomized controlled trials and cohort studies.

Interaction of human and socially assistive robot can have applicability in actual settings, and adoption to function in human environment for Alzheimer's disease. This review revealed that there are still several technical challenges that must be addressed in future advancements before being integrated in real life of individuals with Alzheimer's disease. The results will help move towards the establishment of best practices for the development of human and socially assistive robot interaction for Alzheimer's disease and, in turn, help enhance the experience of people suffering from this disease.

Radiative cooling (RC) has been an attractive electricity-free approach to reducing the energy consumption of buildings. Current RC strategies focus on roofs; however, limited attention has been paid to vertical walls. Here, we report a zigzag-based structural design with asymmetric emissivity to realize optimal RC walls.
