- Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by progressive neurodegeneration, with proteostatic imbalance being a significant factor negatively impacting brain health.* -
- Dendrobium officinale, a traditional Chinese herb, showed protective effects against AD-related protein toxicity in lab models, specifically preventing the aggregation of harmful proteins.* -
- The research identified key bioactive compounds in D. officinale that enhance protein homeostasis and suggests potential treatment strategies for AD focusing on restoring protein balance.*
Background: Sleep disturbances are common in people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and may lead to poor adherence to antiretroviral therapy and worsen HIV symptom severity. Due to the side effects of pharmacotherapy for sleep disturbances, there is more room for non-pharmacological interventions, but knowledge of how these non-pharmacological interventions have been used to improve sleep in people living with HIV (PLWH) is still missing.
Objective: To investigate the content of non-pharmacological interventions, sleep measurements, and the impact of these interventions on improving sleep in PLWH.
Objectives: To investigate health literacy profiles using a multidimensional tool in the elderly, analyze the factors related to health literacy, and explore the relationships between health literacy and health-related behaviors.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey including 440 participants was conducted at a community health center and a village health center in Changsha, Hunan Province, between June 2020 and August 2020. We used the Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ) to assess the elderly's health literacy.
Purpose: People living with HIV (PLWHIV) are susceptible to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) because of aging and infections. This means that the number of non-HIV medications increases, along with issues of polypharmacy and medication-related burden. The purpose of this study was to identify the current situation of polypharmacy and medication-related burden among PLWHIV aged 50 and above, as well as the relation between medication-related burden and antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence.
