Truter et al. investigate how diet and culture influence the Ju|’hoansi intestinal microbiome, which can influence health and well-being. They find that while the Ju|’hoansi intestinal microbiome is distinct, it resembles that of other hunter-gatherer populations.
This study aims to assess depression and perception of vocal handicap in individuals with and without early-stage Alzheimer's disease (AD) using a self-report method. Depression is commonly observed in elderly individuals and can significantly impact their quality of life, management of chronic diseases, and daily and instrumental activities. In elderly individuals with AD, the risk of depression is twice as high compared to those without Alzheimer's.
Article discusses the relationship between hypertension and dementia, and the potential utility of antihypertensive medications in reducing the risk of cognitive decline and dementia. It concludes that mid-life hypertension is a risk factor for both vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease, and that further research is needed to clarify the neuroprotective properties of different antihypertensive drug classes.
The researchers examined the use of footwear that incorporates force-sensing resistor sensors to classify lower limb disorders affecting the knee, hip, and ankle joints. The outcomes of the study reveal promising findings for future gait analysis and injury diagnosis, and the potential of force-sensing resistors (FSRs) and machine learning techniques for improving the assessment of lower limb injuries, and thereby furthering SDG3.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) stands as the most prevalent form of neuropsychiatric disorder among the elderly population, impacting a minimum of 50 million individuals worldwide. Current pharmacological treatments rely on the prescribing cholinesterase inhibitors and memantine.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) presents a growing global challenge, with an increasing prevalence and significant impact on individuals and public health.
Coffee, a universally consumed beverage, is known to contain thousands of bioactive constituents that have garnered interest due to their potential neuroprotective effects against various neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Dementia is a progressive neurological and degenerative syndrome that affects an individuals' memory, thinking, and social abilities severely enough to interfere with their daily lives. It is emerging as a public health priority in terms of the associated disability and mortality.
Green tea is a beverage consumed hot and cold worldwide for its taste and health benefits.
Humans harbor complex communities of microbes, predominantly bacteria, that live symbiotically within the colon. There are several factors that influence the trajectory of gut microbiota in infants such as birth term, mode of delivery, and dietary habits.
