Potentially modifiable dementia risk factors in all Australians and within population groups: an analysis using cross-sectional survey data

Elsevier,

The Lancet. Public health, Volume 8, 1 September 2023

This Article supports Sustainable Development Goal 3 by calculating the proportion of dementia in Australia attributable to 11 potentially modifiable risk factors. They found that 38% of dementia was attributable to these risk factors (increasing to 41% when a 12th risk factor, traumatic brain injury, was added). The authors note that these findings could help to guide culturally specific dementia risk reduction programmes.

Behavioural, genomics and proteomic approach to examine Alzheimer's disease in zebrafish

Elsevier,

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part - C: Toxicology and Pharmacology, Volume 271, September 2023

OKA is a potent neurotoxin and has a profound effect on cognitive dysfunction in Zebrafish. 4D and 10D OKA treated zebrafish show significant changes in gene expressions related to neuroinflammation. OKA exposed zebrafish display a substantial number of proteins that are involved in contributing to AD pathology. OKA-induced AD in zebrafish model can be used as a screening tool to explore further underlying possible mechanisms.
