Article Synopsis
- A study compared appetite regulation among Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients with cognitive impairment (CI), PD patients without CI, and age-matched controls to understand how these factors influence appetite.
- Results showed that PD patients with CI consumed significantly less protein and had altered hormone levels, which were linked to decreased hunger and energy intake.
- The hormones peptide YY (PYY) and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) play key roles in appetite control for PD patients, suggesting they are important areas for further research.
The structural architecture of coral reefs is a known predictor of species richness, fish biomass and reef resilience. At a smaller scale, three-dimensional (3D) surface area of corals is a fundamental determinant of physical and biological processes. Quantifying the 3D surface area of corals has applications for a broad range of scientific disciplines, including carbonate production estimates, coral predation studies, and assessments of reef growth.

- * A study involving 6,766 PD patients over several years examined how genetic factors influence motor progression and mortality, revealing the APOE ε4 allele as significantly impacting mortality rates.
- * Four new genetic loci were identified, linked to motor progression, suggesting potential targets for future treatment strategies in PD, although further investigation is necessary to understand their biological implications.
