mC RNA methylation: a potential mechanism for infectious Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by a variety of factors, including age, genetic susceptibility, cardiovascular disease, traumatic brain injury, and environmental factors. The pathogenesis of AD is largely associated with the overproduction and accumulation of amyloid-β peptides and the hyperphosphorylation of tau protein in the brain. Recent studies have identified the presence of diverse pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, and parasites, in the tissues of AD patients, underscoring the critical role of central nervous system infections in inducing pathological changes associated with AD.

Prediction model of death risk in patients with sepsis and screening of biomarkers for prognosis of patients with myocardial injury.

This study aimed to create a robust prediction model for sepsis patient mortality and identify key biomarkers in those with myocardial injury. A retrospective analysis of 261 sepsis inpatients was conducted, with 44 deaths and 217 recoveries. Key factors were assessed via univariate and multivariate analyses, revealing myocardial injury, shock, and pulmonary infection as independent mortality risk factors.
