Statin-related residual inflammation predicts cardiovascular events and mortality

A recent Lancet study assessed the importance of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) as risk predictors of cardiovascular death, cardiovascular events, and all-cause death among patients subjected to statins.

What is the impact of consuming walnuts on the dietary intake of total polyphenols?

Researchers performed secondary analyses of the Walnuts and Healthy Aging study (WAHA) data.

A measure of residual inflammatory risk may be a powerful predictor of future cardiovascular events

New evidence released today from a study of 31,245 patients already taking statin therapy indicates that inflammation may be a more powerful predictor of risk of future cardiovascular events - such as heart attack and stroke - than "bad" cholesterol.

'Good autoantibodies' associated with a milder course and lower risk of long Covid

Sometimes in the laboratory there are unexpected results. "Previously it had been observed that autoantibodies are common in severe Covid patients, those who end up in intensive care," says Jonathan Muri, postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB, affiliated with the Università della Svizzera italiana) and co-author of the study.

Multi-organ scRNA-seq reveals targeting pro- or anti-inflammatory regulators may be exploited for personalized treatment of immune diseases

Researchers performed multi-organ single-cell RNA sequencing of collagen-induced arthritis murine model to evaluate immune-mediated inflammatory disease alterations by characterizing the genome, organizing the organome, and prioritizing pathways in the multi-organ data.

Does the incidence of reported myocarditis or pericarditis after BNT162b2 vaccination vary by age, sex, and inter-dose interval among adolescents aged 12 to 17?

Researchers conducted a population-based cohort study among 12 to 17-year-old adolescents in Ontario, Canada, to estimate the incidence of myocarditis or pericarditis after BNT162b2 vaccination.

Resistance exercise improves sleep and inflammatory status in sarcopenic older patients

Sarcopenia is the decline of skeletal muscle mass with age, leading to loss of muscle strength (to move objects, shake hands etc.) and performance (walking and making other routine movements effectively). It involves chronic inflammation and is associated with cognitive alterations, heart disease and respiratory disorders.

Modifying gut flora before surgery could reduce postoperative complications in colorectal cancer patients

In a promising study, Canadian researchers have shown for the first time in mice that modifying intestinal flora before surgery could reduce postoperative complications in colorectal cancer patients.

New numerical model reveals degeneration mechanisms in mechanically loaded and inflamed cartilage

Understanding how the knee joint environment affects cartilage cells is crucial for joint health. Knowledge of cell-driven cartilage degeneration mechanisms can support the development of effective pharmaceutical interventions for osteoarthritis.

Could spices boost protein intake in older adults?

Poor eating often exacerbates aging problems, resulting in inadequate protein intake among older adults. This, in turn, may cause muscle wasting, reduced function, and poor quality of life. A new research paper looks at the role of spices in boosting the attractiveness of typical foods in this age group.

Exploring the immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties of butyrate

In a recent study published in the journal Fermentation, researchers reviewed studies examining the role of butyrate in inflammatory responses, immunological properties, and diseases related to the immune system such as atopic dermatitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), psoriasis, and cancer.
