Article Synopsis
- * A study involving 1,392 athletes at the Tokyo 2020 and Beijing 2022 Games found that a significant number of them used supplements, with many not consulting a doctor or reviewing scientific evidence beforehand.
- * The research highlighted the need for better nutritional education on supplement use to ensure athletes understand the risks and make informed choices about their health and compliance.
The "meal first" strategy is traditionally recommended for athletes' conditioning. However, the importance of the "meal first" principle has not been detailly well documented in athletes' lives. Supplement use has recently become a common part of athletes' diets, but unmonitored supplement use can cause negative consequences, such as anti-doping violations and health issues.

- Muscle glycogen storage is crucial for endurance athletes, and the recommended carbohydrate intake before a race is 10-12 g·kg–1·day–1, but it's uncertain if elite athletes can further increase glycogen with higher intakes.
- A study was conducted with a top racewalker who underwent three trials of very-high-carbohydrate diets (ranging from 13.7 to 15.9 g·kg–1·day–1) over two days, while muscle glycogen levels were tracked using advanced imaging.
- Results showed that muscle glycogen increased across all trials, especially in the highest carb intake, leading to weight gain and some stomach discomfort, indicating that higher carb diets can benefit glycogen levels
Article Synopsis
- Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) is a complex neurological disorder caused by expansions of GGC trinucleotide repeats in the NOTCH2NLC gene, presenting either sporadically or in an autosomal pattern.
- A study involving six patients highlighted key clinical features for diagnosis, such as hyporeflexia, consciousness disturbances, sensory issues, miosis, and dementia, along with specific neuroimaging findings like leukoencephalopathy and decreased nerve conduction velocity.
- The presence of polyglycines in intranuclear inclusions, identified through specialized immunohistochemical analysis in skin biopsies, suggests a role in the disease's pathogenesis.
