#Particulate matter and episodic #memory decline mediated by early neuroanatomic biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease

Evidence suggests exposure to particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter <2.5 μm (PM2.5) may increase the risk for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.. ..Long-term PM2.5 exposure was associated with increased Alzheimer’s disease pattern similarity scores, which accounted for 22.6% (95% CI: 1% to 68.9%) and 10.7% (95% CI: 1.0% to 30.3%) of the total adverse PM2.5 effects on Trials 1–3 and List B, respectively. The observed … Continue reading #Particulate matter and episodic #memory decline mediated by early neuroanatomic biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease

Association of #troponin level and age with #mortality in 250 000 patients: cohort study across five UK acute care centres

.. A positive troponin result (that is, higher than the upper limit of normal) signified a 3.2 higher mortality hazard (95% confidence interval 3.1 to 3.2) over three years. Mortality varied noticeably with age, with a hazard ratio of 10.6 (8.5 to 13.3) in 18-29 year olds and 1.5 (1.4 to 1.6) in those older than 90. A positive troponin result was associated with an … Continue reading Association of #troponin level and age with #mortality in 250 000 patients: cohort study across five UK acute care centres
