Elderly people with a genetic risk for Alzheimer’s disease did not experience the expected increase in cognitive decline and dementia risk if they ate relatively large amounts of meat. This is shown in a new study from the Karolinska Institutet published in JAMA Network Open. The results may contribute to the development of more personalized nutritional advice. APOE is a gene that affects the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. In Sweden, about 30 percent of the population are carriers of the APOE 3/4 or APOE 4/4 gene combinations. Among people with Alzheimer’s disease, people with these genotypes account for nearly 70…

Siemens Healthineers today announced that its brain health research offerings are expanding, with the brain-derived, fully automated Atellica IM Phosphorylated tau 217 (pTau217) and Atellica IM Brain Derived Tau (BDTau) assays now available for 1. Each year, there are nearly 10 million new cases of dementia diagnosed worldwide2. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common, contributing to 60-70% of cases, although it affects many more people over time as these people become negatively affected and become increasingly dependent on others for their care2. Blood tests from Siemens Healthineers offer researchers chemiluminescence immunoassays to provide a quantitative measurement of brain-derived phosphorylated tau…
How Low Testosterone Almost Broke Me and What I Learned as a GP As a qualification GPwith over a decade of experience in NHSI thought I had a pretty solid grasp of men’s health and hormones in general. I had diagnosed countless patients with menopausal symptoms, thyroid disorders, and occasionally rarer endocrine conditions. But I never expected to experience hormonal issues myself, nor did I realize how little I really understood about testosterone deficiency. My journey began at 29. My wife was pregnant with our first child after a long, difficult period of ectopic pregnancy and several unexplained miscarriages. One…
When that afternoon slump hits, our focus wanes and our energy levels drop, causing us to reach for another cup of coffee or energy drink to get us through the day. The problem with this approach is that it relies on stimulation for energy. In our fast-paced and demanding modern lifestyles, stimulants in coffee, energy drinks, pre-workouts or thermogenic fat burners are often used to cover up exhaustion, stress, anxiety or poor work-life balance rather than addressing the root causes. While stimulants provide a temporary boost for our nervous system, sustainable energy is based on nutrition, hydration and recovery. If…
For more than a century, heparin has been the main anticoagulant to prevent the formation or larger harmful clot in the blood vessels or heart. However, a major side effect is an increased risk of excessive bleeding, even from minor injuries such as small cuts to the skin. In ACS Central Science, researchers report the discovery of a snail-derived compound that blocks clot formation while maintaining bleeding control in mouse models. Blood clots are natural temporary bandages that seal wounds and stop bleeding. These helpful clots – called hemostatic clots – speed healing in injuries such as cuts to the…
My story It used to feel like a race car covered in commercials with no pit stops. This is the most honest way I can describe what my life was like in 2015. I was a full-time YouTuber and I made three videos a week. I taught in person all over Boston. I was coaching individual clients, creating my own programming, running my own marketing, chasing brand deals and going on sponsor trips. From the outside, it probably looked like I had it figured out. Inside, I was quietly burning and began to wonder if this was really sustainable. Sponsorship…
