The “contour smoothing” fractal analysis method can effectively examine cerebral hemispheres to detect and quantify age-related atrophic changes associated with normal or pathological aging. This method holds promise for clinical application in diagnosing neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease.

This study finds that pine nut peptide-zinc chelate improves Alzheimer's Disease (AD) in various ways which include (1) improving learning, memory, brain health, and gut balance in mice, and (2) treating cholinergic system changes, boosting cerebral antioxidants, and altering gut microbiota. Pine nut peptide-zinc chelate holds potential for AD therapy, requiring deeper mechanistic investigation.

Previous studies have shown that people with HIV are at an increased risk of non-communicable diseases, this systematic review and meta-analysis collates data from 188 studies done in 21 sub-Saharan Africa countries and shows that people with HIV have an increased incidence of multiple NCDs, including hypertension, diabetes, and cervical cancer. Although more research is needed, this results highlight the need for improved treatment and prentative approaches to minimise the risk of people with HIV also developing non-comminicable diseases. Good health and wellbeing should not solely be focused on HIV managment; this study shows the growing risk of other diseases that have to be mitigated.
