Steroidal alkaloids from bioactive sources as a potential therapeutic approach to managing Alzheimer’s. It is a review, but I think it shines a really unique light in underexplored, and oft inexpensive, approaches.
The study demonstrates that the peptide PHDP5, which inhibits dynamin-MT interaction, can rescue impaired endocytosis and synaptic transmission caused by tau in presynaptic terminals. When administered intranasally to Alzheimer's disease (AD) model mice, PHDP5 significantly improved learning and memory, suggesting its potential as a candidate for human AD therapy.
Nurse practitioners and other health care providers can play a crucial role in implementing chronic disease management strategies and educating patients who are at risk for AD among African Americans and Hispanics.
Despite significant investment, effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease (AD) have been elusive, necessitating improved quality and reproducibility of foundational laboratory evidence; to address this, AD-SOLES, an integrated workflow of automated tools and a publicly accessible interactive dashboard, has been developed to collect, curate, and visualize in vivo experimental evidence, enhancing evidence synthesis, tracking reporting quality, and aiding researchers in locating relevant data.
The study investigates the neuroprotective effects of hordenine against AlCl3-induced Alzheimer’s disease in rats. Results show that hordenine improves memory and cognitive functions, suggesting its potential to reverse oxidative stress and neuroinflammation associated with Alzheimer’s
In this study, the authors estimate the causal effect of air pollution on eye and ear health. They find that eye or ear disease possibility rises 1.48% for a 10 μg/m3 increase in four-week average PM2.5 concentration. The impacts can last about 28 weeks and will be insignificant afterward.
The article systematically reviews research linking climate change to food systems, nutrition, and health (FSNH) from 2018-2023. It identifies key research gaps and presents an Evidence and Gap Map (EGM) to visualize the current landscape. Most studies focus on climate impacts on crop and livestock production, while fewer address nutrition-related health and postharvest processes. Addressing these gap is critical for developing effective climate adaptation and mitigation strategies that promote both human and planetary health.

This paper seeks to describe and categorise some of the most common behaviours and practices of public health professionals and institutions that introduce or sustain systematic ethnic bias into public health work and thus potentially perpetuate or exacerbate Indigenous inequities in health.
This content aligns with Goal 3: Good Health and Goal 13: Climate Action by exploring the relationship between mental health and climate anxiety in subjects of differing ages.
This content aligns with Goal 3: Good Health by highlighting the significant impact of climate change on mental health, emphasizing the need for awareness and interventions to address both physical and psychological health issues caused by environmental changes. By identifying the mental health risks associated with climate change and advocating for further research and interventions, the study aims to improve overall well-being and resilience among affected individuals. Additionally, it supports Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities by underscoring the universal nature of these mental health challenges, showing that climate change affects diverse populations regardless of age or gender, and advocating for equitable access to mental health support and resources to mitigate these risks for all individuals.
