Association of 15 common dietary factors with #tinnitus: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies

Objective A systematic analysis was conducted to investigate the association between tinnitus incidence and daily dietary patterns.Design We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.Data sources The PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library databases were searched from their inception to 25 May 2024.Eligibility criteria for selecting studies We included observational studies… Continue reading Association of 15 common dietary factors with #tinnitus: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies

Reversible reduction in brain #myelin content upon #marathon running

Here we use magnetic resonance imaging to study the impact of marathon running on brain structure in humans. We show that the signal for myelin water fraction—a surrogate of myelin content—is substantially reduced upon marathon running in specific brain regions involved in motor coordination and sensory and emotional integration, but recovers within two months. These… Continue reading Reversible reduction in brain #myelin content upon #marathon running

#Dietary fibre counters the oncogenic potential of colibactin-producing Escherichia coli in colorectal #cancer

Diet, microbiome, inflammation and host genetics have been linked to colorectal cancer development; however, it is not clear whether and how these factors interact to promote carcinogenesis. Here we used Il10−/− mice colonized with bacteria previously associated with colorectal cancer: enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis, Helicobacter hepaticus or colibactin-producing (polyketide synthase-positive (pks+)) Escherichia coli and fed either… Continue reading #Dietary fibre counters the oncogenic potential of colibactin-producing Escherichia coli in colorectal #cancer

#Probiotics and #Fever Duration in Children With Upper Respiratory Tract Infections

Importance  Upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) are prevalent in children, prompting frequent health care consultations, especially among those with fever. Probiotics show potential as an adjuvant treatment for URTIs, but evidence in children is limited.Objective  To evaluate the efficacy of a probiotic mixture containing Bifidobacterium breve M-16V, Bifidobacterium lactis HN019, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001 in… Continue reading #Probiotics and #Fever Duration in Children With Upper Respiratory Tract Infections

#Sleep selectively and durably enhances #memory for the sequence of real-world experiences

Sleep is thought to play a critical role in the retention of memory for past experiences (episodic memory), reducing the rate of forgetting compared with wakefulness. Yet it remains unclear whether and how sleep actively transforms the way we remember multidimensional real-world experiences, and how such memory transformation unfolds over the days, months and years… Continue reading #Sleep selectively and durably enhances #memory for the sequence of real-world experiences

Lifetime Health Effects and Cost-Effectiveness of #Tirzepatide and #Semaglutide in US Adults

Importance  Newer antiobesity medications lead to greater weight loss and lower cardiometabolic risks. However, the high costs of these medications have raised policy questions about their value and coverage decisions.Objective  To compare the cost-effectiveness of 4 antiobesity medications with lifestyle modification vs lifestyle modification alone in the US.Design, Setting, and Participants  A lifetime cost-effectiveness analysis… Continue reading Lifetime Health Effects and Cost-Effectiveness of #Tirzepatide and #Semaglutide in US Adults

The Impact of Gut #Microbiota on the Development of #Anxiety Symptoms—A Narrative Review

The gut microbiota plays a key role in mental health, with growing evidence linking its composition to anxiety and depressive disorders. Research on this topic has expanded significantly in recent years. This review explores alterations in the gut microbiota of individuals with anxiety disorders and examines the potential therapeutic effects of probiotics. Background/Objectives: This review… Continue reading The Impact of Gut #Microbiota on the Development of #Anxiety Symptoms—A Narrative Review

Adverse health effects of #5G mobile networking technology under real-life conditions

Highlights•Identifies wide-spectrum of adverse health effects of non-ionizing non-visible radiation.•Most laboratory experiments were not designed to identify the more severe adverse effects reflective of real-life conditions.•Many experiments do not include the real-life pulsing and modulation of the carrier signal.•Vast majority of experiments do not account for synergistic adverse effects of other toxic stimuli with wireless… Continue reading Adverse health effects of #5G mobile networking technology under real-life conditions

Human #microplastic removal: what does the evidence tell us?

The increased levels of microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) found in human brain tissue are alarming, particularly in patients with dementia. Although total avoidance of MNP exposure will likely remain an unattainable endpoint in light of their ubiquity in the environment, new studies indicate feasible pathways by which dietary intake may be decreased or clearances improved.… Continue reading Human #microplastic removal: what does the evidence tell us?
