Infection preventionists' current and preferred training strategies and tools.

Background: Educating health care staff on infection prevention and control (IPC) is an essential role of infection preventionists (IPs), but the COVID-19 pandemic diverted resources away from IPC education.

Methods: Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology members were invited to complete an online survey from spring 2023 to assess current and preferred approaches and tools for training health care personnel on IPC. Vendors, retirees, APIC staff, or those not working in health care or public health were excluded.

Cerebrospinal fluid neutral lipids predict progression from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer's disease.

Genetic, metabolic, and clinical evidence links lipid dysregulation to an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the role of lipids in the pathophysiological processes of AD and its clinical progression is unclear. We investigated the association between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lipidome and the pathological hallmarks of AD, progression from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to AD, and the rate of cognitive decline in MCI patients.

Cerebrospinal fluid lipidomic fingerprint of obstructive sleep apnoea in Alzheimer's disease.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) has a high prevalence in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Both conditions have been shown to be associated with lipid dysregulation. However, the relationship between OSA severity and alterations in lipid metabolism in the brains of patients with AD has yet to be fully elucidated.

Changes in Plasma Neutral and Ether-Linked Lipids Are Associated with The Pathology and Progression of Alzheimer's Disease.

Aberrant lipid metabolism has been strongly linked to Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. However, the role of lipids in the pathophysiological processes of AD and their clinical progression is unclear. We hypothesized that plasma lipids are associated with the pathological hallmarks of AD, progression from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to AD, and the rate of cognitive decline in MCI patients.

The comparative effects of periodized lower body strength training versus high intensity circuit programming in experienced runners.

Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of supplementing habitual run training with periodized lower body strength training versus high intensity circuit strength training on running performance and related variables in experienced runners.

Methods: Nineteen (N.=19) participants performed 8 weeks of 2 d·wk periodized lower body strength training (PLB), N.
