Dementia risk in women may be reduced by hormone replacement therapy

Women are at greater risk for dementia than men, probably because of waning estrogen levels following menopause. Estrogen is a key female hormone linked to reproductive, sexual, and neurological functions. A new study published in the journal Alzheimer's Research & Therapy examines how hormone replacement works in women with a high genetic risk for AD.

Modification to Hospital Elder Life Program expands delirium prevention

A new study published in the Journal of American Geriatrics Society (JAGS) found that modifying a well-established and highly successful delirium prevention program for use when in-person or face-to-face interactions are limited or restricted is both feasible and acceptable to hospital staff and patients.

New type of CT scan lights up the obvious cause of hypertension

Doctors at Queen Mary University of London and Barts Hospital, and Cambridge University Hospital, have led research using a new type of CT scan to light up tiny nodules in a hormone gland and cure high blood pressure by their removal. The nodules are discovered in one-in-twenty people with high blood pressure.

Association of aldosterone with ideal cardiovascular health in incident diabetes

A new study in the American Journal of Preventive Cardiology aimed to analyze the role of aldosterone as a mediator in the association of ICH with T2DF incidence among AAs in the JHS. The association of aldosterone with T2D incidence among AAs was also analyzed using glucose and blood pressure as mediators.

Childhood asthma risk appears to be influenced by both the intestinal microbiome and 17q12-21 genotype

Childhood asthma is a condition that may be affected by different types of factors. These include the state of the infant's gut microbiome, environmental factors, and genetic factors. A recent study attempted to shed more light on how asthma risk is linked to a combination of these factors, some of which are modifiable.
