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
Controlled colonization of the human #gut with a genetically engineered microbial therapeutic
Editor’s summaryThe gut #microbiota has long been an aspirational target for clinical delivery of therapeutics. Successful therapy by this route depends on ensuring engraftment of the therapeutic organisms and their clearance after treatment. Whitaker et al. have engineered a strain of Bacteroides vulgatus, which is commonly found in the gut of healthy humans, with two… Continue reading Controlled colonization of the human #gut with a genetically engineered microbial therapeutic
Effects of various #exercise interventions in #insomnia patients: a systematic review and network meta-analysis
Objectives To compare the effectiveness of different exercise interventions in improving sleep quality and alleviating insomnia severity among patients with insomnia.Design Our study design was a systematic review and network meta-analysis.Eligibility criteria Our study eligibility criteria was restricted to include randomised controlled trials (RCTs) involving adults with insomnia that evaluated exercise-based interventions.Data sources PubMed, Cochrane… Continue reading Effects of various #exercise interventions in #insomnia patients: a systematic review and network meta-analysis
Association of #Egg Intake With #Alzheimer’s #Dementia Risk in #Older Adults: The Rush #Memory and Aging Project
BackgroundAlzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder with increasing prevalence due to population aging. Eggs provide many nutrients important for brain health, including choline, omega-3 fatty acids, and lutein. Emerging evidence suggests that frequent egg consumption may improve cognitive performance on verbal tests, but whether consumption influences the risk of Alzheimer’s dementia and AD is… Continue reading Association of #Egg Intake With #Alzheimer’s #Dementia Risk in #Older Adults: The Rush #Memory and Aging Project
#AI -guided patient stratification improves outcomes and efficiency in the AMARANTH #Alzheimer’s Disease clinical trial
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) drug discovery has been hampered by patient heterogeneity, and the lack of sensitive tools for precise stratification. Here, we demonstrate that our robust and interpretable AI-guided tool (predictive prognostic model, PPM) enhances precision in patient stratification, improving outcomes and decreasing sample size for a AD clinical trial. The AMARANTH trial of lanabecestat,… Continue reading #AI -guided patient stratification improves outcomes and efficiency in the AMARANTH #Alzheimer’s Disease clinical trial
Association between dietary #copper intake and #cognitive function in American older adults: NHANES 2011–2014
This cross-sectional observational study examined the association between dietary copper intake and cognitive function in American older adults, using data from the 2011 to 2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Analyzing a total of 2420 participants, dietary copper intake was determined by averaging two 24-h dietary recalls, whereas cognitive function was assessed by… Continue reading Association between dietary #copper intake and #cognitive function in American older adults: NHANES 2011–2014
Body #mass index and #breast cancer risk among #postmenopausal women with and without cardiometabolic diseases: Findings from two prospective cohort studies in Europe
BackgroundAdiposity, measured by body mass index (BMI), is a known risk factor for postmenopausal breast cancer. However, whether the association of BMI with breast cancer risk differs among women with and without cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) or type 2 diabetes (T2D) is uncertain.MethodsThis study used individual participant data from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and… Continue reading Body #mass index and #breast cancer risk among #postmenopausal women with and without cardiometabolic diseases: Findings from two prospective cohort studies in Europe
Later #eating #timing in relation to an individual internal clock is associated with lower #insulin sensitivity and affected by genetic factors
BackgroundAlthough the contribution of the circadian clock to metabolic regulation is widely recognized, the role of eating timing in glucose metabolism and diabetes risk remains insufficiently studied. This study aimed (i) to investigate the link between the eating timing pattern relative to individual clock and glucose homoeostasis and (ii) to explore the contribution of genetic… Continue reading Later #eating #timing in relation to an individual internal clock is associated with lower #insulin sensitivity and affected by genetic factors
