Alzheimer's risk patients may benefit from Mediterranean keto diet, study shows gut microbiome changes

In a recent study published in the Journal of the Alzheimer's Association (AA), researchers examined the effects of a low-carbohydrate-modified Mediterranean ketogenic diet (MMKD) on the gut microbiome and metabolome of patients at risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Air pollution linked to higher dementia rates

In a recent article published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), researchers at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health presented the findings of a systematic review and meta-analysis that showed a link between air pollutants, especially particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) and clinical dementia. PM2.5 are fine air particles/droplets two and one-half microns or less in width.

Study reveals SARS-CoV-2 on hands and frequently-touched surfaces as key predictors of household transmission

A study investigating risk factors and vectors of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) household transmission reveals that the presence of the virus on the hands of primary and secondary cases and on frequently-touched surfaces is associated with transmission risk. The study is published in the journal THE LANCET Microbe.

Study illuminates how patients with variants in the PTPN2 gene develop IBD

Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, describes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, two chronic diseases that cause inflammation in the intestines. IBD, which affects about 3 million adults in the United States, is an autoimmune disorder - a condition in which the body's immune system attacks healthy tissues.

Newly discovered antibody appears to block infection by all dominant variants of SARS-CoV-2 virus

A team led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine, the University of Wisconsin-Madison; Scripps Research and the University of Chicago has identified an antibody that appears to block infection by all dominant variants of the virus that causes COVID-19, including Omicron, the most recent.
