There is evidence that children with autism/autistic traits have higher risks of incontinence and constipation, but no studies have examined this in a large community-based cohort. Aim/Research question: are autistic traits and diagnosed autism prospectively associated with increased odds of incontinence and constipation in children and adolescents? This was a population-based cohort study based on data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (n = 4233-4490 at age 9 years; n = 3403-3697 at age 14). We used multivariable logistic regression to examine associations of parent-reported autistic traits (sociability, repetitive behaviours, social-communication, coherence) (at ages 3-9 years) and autism with incontinence (bedwetting, daytime-wetting, soiling) and constipation (parent-reported at age 9, self-reported at age 14).

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers administered a drug called PR-364 to mice after a heart attack, finding it significantly reduced mortality, preserved heart function, and slowed heart failure progression.
- * The findings revealed that PR-364 boosted the removal of damaged mitochondria and improved energy production in heart cells, suggesting it could be a promising treatment to protect heart tissue after a heart attack.
The solid phase byproduct obtained after conventional fucoidan extraction from the brown seaweed can be used as a source containing alginate. This study involves ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) of alginate from the byproduct using sodium bicarbonate. Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to obtain the optimum conditions for alginate extraction.

This paper provides research findings on green extraction methods, structural analysis of fucoidan, and its associated bioactivities. Fucoidans from brown seaweeds, and were extracted using green solvents such as citric acid (CA) followed by MWCO (molecular weight cut-off) filtration to obtain high-purity polysaccharides.
