Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity. ADHD impairments arise from irregularities primarily in dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE) circuits within the prefrontal cortex. Due to ADHD medication’s controversial side effects and high rates of diagnosis, alternative/complementary pharmacological therapeutic approaches for ADHD are needed.… Continue reading Effects of Caffeine Consumption on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Treatment: A Systematic Review of Animal Studies

Reduction of dietary sodium to less than 100 mmol in heart failure (SODIUM-HF): an international, open-label, randomised, controlled trial
BackgroundDietary restriction of sodium has been suggested to prevent fluid overload and adverse outcomes for patients with heart failure. We designed the Study of Dietary Intervention under 100 mmol in Heart Failure (SODIUM-HF) to test whether or not a reduction in dietary sodium reduces the incidence of future clinical events. MethodsSODIUM-HF is an international, open-label,… Continue reading Reduction of dietary sodium to less than 100 mmol in heart failure (SODIUM-HF): an international, open-label, randomised, controlled trial
Artificial sweeteners and cancer risk: Results from the NutriNet-Santé population-based cohort study
The food industry uses artificial sweeteners in a wide range of foods and beverages as alternatives to added sugars, for which deleterious effects on several chronic diseases are now well established. The safety of these food additives is debated, with conflicting findings regarding their role in the aetiology of various diseases. In particular, their carcinogenicity… Continue reading Artificial sweeteners and cancer risk: Results from the NutriNet-Santé population-based cohort study
Midlife lipid and glucose levels are associated with Alzheimer’s disease
IntroductionIt is unknown whether vascular and metabolic diseases assessed in early adulthood are associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) later in life. MethodsAssociation of AD with lipid fractions, glucose, blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), and smoking obtained prospectively from 4932 Framingham Heart Study (FHS) participants across nine quadrennial examinations was evaluated using Cox proportional hazard… Continue reading Midlife lipid and glucose levels are associated with Alzheimer’s disease
The Association of Consumption Time for Food With Cardiovascular Disease and All-Cause Mortality Among Diabetic Patients
AimsThis study aims to investigate whether food intake time across 3 meals is associated with long-term survival among the people with diabetes. Materials and MethodsThis study included 4642 diabetic patients participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2003 to 2014. Food consumed across a day including the forenoon, afternoon, and evening was… Continue reading The Association of Consumption Time for Food With Cardiovascular Disease and All-Cause Mortality Among Diabetic Patients
1186-021 / 21 – REGULAR COFFEE INTAKE IS ASSOCIATED WITH IMPROVED MORTALITY IN PREVALENT CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE
Historically physicians recommend avoiding coffee in patients with arrhythmia and cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, data is lacking on safety of coffee in those with prevalent arrhythmia/CVD. We sought to investigate the associations between coffee and mortality/arrhythmia outcomes in prevalent conditionsMethods: The UK Biobank consists of 502543 people followed over > 10years. Self-reported coffee intake was divided… Continue reading 1186-021 / 21 – REGULAR COFFEE INTAKE IS ASSOCIATED WITH IMPROVED MORTALITY IN PREVALENT CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE
1052-05 – GROUND, INSTANT, OR DECAFFEINATED COFFEE? IMPACT OF DIFFERENT COFFEE SUBTYPES ON INCIDENT ARRHYTHMIA, CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE AND MORTALITY
Background: Population studies report health benefits from coffee intake. Coffee has up to 100 biologic compounds with caffeine most well known. The effects of coffee subtypes on cardiovascular(CV) outcomes is unclear. We aim to evaluate the associations between coffee subtypes and incident arrhythmia, CV disease (CVD), and total/ CV mortalityMethods: Participant responses to coffee amount and type(ground,… Continue reading 1052-05 – GROUND, INSTANT, OR DECAFFEINATED COFFEE? IMPACT OF DIFFERENT COFFEE SUBTYPES ON INCIDENT ARRHYTHMIA, CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE AND MORTALITY
1056-05 – EFFECTS OF HABITUAL COFFEE CONSUMPTION ON INCIDENT CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, ARRHYTHMIA, AND MORTALITY: FINDINGS FROM UK BIOBANK
Background: Meta analyses report beneficial effects of coffee intake on incident cardiovascular outcomes, however earlier studies are limited by smaller sample sizes. The aim was to evaluate associations between coffee intake and incident arrhythmia, CVD, and mortality, utilising the UK BiobankMethods: The UK Biobank is a large prospective cohort with outcomes measured >10 years. Coffee… Continue reading 1056-05 – EFFECTS OF HABITUAL COFFEE CONSUMPTION ON INCIDENT CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, ARRHYTHMIA, AND MORTALITY: FINDINGS FROM UK BIOBANK
Association of Habitual Alcohol Intake With Risk of Cardiovascular Disease
Importance Observational studies have consistently proposed cardiovascular benefits associated with light alcohol consumption, while recent genetic analyses (ie, mendelian randomization studies) have suggested a possible causal link between alcohol intake and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. However, traditional approaches to genetic epidemiology assume a linear association and thus have not fully evaluated dose-response estimates of… Continue reading Association of Habitual Alcohol Intake With Risk of Cardiovascular Disease
