#Sucralose consumption ablates #cancer immunotherapy response through #microbiome disruption

Gut microbiota composition is directly associated with response to immunotherapies in cancer. How the diet impacts the gut microbiota and downstream immune responses to cancer remains unclear. Here, we show that consumption of a common non-nutritive sweetener, sucralose, modifies microbiome composition, restricts T cell metabolism and function, and limits immunotherapy response in preclinical models of… Continue reading #Sucralose consumption ablates #cancer immunotherapy response through #microbiome disruption

#Thermal and Perceptual Responses of #Older Adults With #Fan Use in #Heat ExtremesA Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Clinical Trial

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advise against fan use above 32 °C (ie, 90 °F) because it can increase body temperature.1 Modeling suggests fans reduce body temperature up to 37 to 39 °C (ie, 99 to 102 °F), depending upon humidity.2 In humid heat, fan use reduced body temperature in young… Continue reading #Thermal and Perceptual Responses of #Older Adults With #Fan Use in #Heat ExtremesA Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Clinical Trial

Time to Diagnosis in #Dementia: A Systematic Review With Meta-Analysis

Timely dementia diagnosis is a global priority, reflected in most national and regional policies and plans. Nevertheless, there are currently no robust estimates of the average time to diagnosis (TTD) and factors influencing diagnostic intervals. This article presents the first systematic review of quantitative studies on TTD in dementia and the factors associated with its… Continue reading Time to Diagnosis in #Dementia: A Systematic Review With Meta-Analysis

Association between ultra-processed #food consumption and #lung #cancer risk: a population-based cohort study

Background The evidence on associations between ultra-processed foods (UPF) and lung cancer risk is limited and inconsistent.Research question Are UPF associated with an increased risk of lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC)?Methods Data of participants in this study were collected from the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian (PLCO)… Continue reading Association between ultra-processed #food consumption and #lung #cancer risk: a population-based cohort study

Association Between #COVID-19 #Vaccination and #Neuropsychiatric Conditions

Introduction: This study explores the potential associations between COVID-19 vaccination and neuropsychiatric conditions. Methods: Data were collected from the CDC and FDA. The VAERS database was queried from January 1, 1990, to December 27, 2024, for adverse events (AEs) involving neuropsychiatric complications following COVID-19 vaccination. The timeframe included 420 months for all vaccines except COVID-19… Continue reading Association Between #COVID-19 #Vaccination and #Neuropsychiatric Conditions

Exposure to per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances in association to later occurrence of type 2 #diabetes and metabolic pathway #dysregulation in a multiethnic US population

Growing evidence suggests that exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances ( #PFAS ) are linked to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D); however, the effect of PFAS mixtures and underlying mechanisms are not well understood. We examined the associations between exposure to PFAS mixture with later T2D diagnosis and underlying metabolic dysregulations.MethodsWe conducted… Continue reading Exposure to per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances in association to later occurrence of type 2 #diabetes and metabolic pathway #dysregulation in a multiethnic US population

Daily #steps and #health outcomes in #adults: a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis

BackgroundDespite the rapid increase in evidence from the past decade on daily steps and health-related outcomes, existing systematic reviews primarily focused on few outcomes, such as all-cause mortality. This study synthesised the prospective dose-response relationship between daily steps and health outcomes including all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, cognitive outcomes, mental health outcomes,… Continue reading Daily #steps and #health outcomes in #adults: a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis

Classification of #Parkinson’s disease and isolated #REM sleep behaviour disorder: delineating progression markers from the sebum volatilome

Parkinson’s Disease (PD) has been associated with a distinct odour, emanating from the skin and strongest in sebum-rich areas. Here, volatile components from sebum were analysed directly with Thermal Desorption Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry. We analysed samples from subjects with clinically established PD (n = 46), controls (n = 28) and participants with isolated REM sleep behaviour disorder… Continue reading Classification of #Parkinson’s disease and isolated #REM sleep behaviour disorder: delineating progression markers from the sebum volatilome

Association of #Weekend #Warrior and Other Physical #Activity Patterns With #Mortality Among Adults With #Diabetes: A Cohort Study

Background:“Weekend warrior” and regularly active physical activity patterns have been associated with reduced mortality risk in the general population. The association in patients with diabetes is unknown.Objective:To examine the associations of different physical activity patterns, particularly weekend warrior and regularly active behavior, with all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality among adults with diabetes.Design:Prospective cohort study.Setting:National Health… Continue reading Association of #Weekend #Warrior and Other Physical #Activity Patterns With #Mortality Among Adults With #Diabetes: A Cohort Study
