The associations of e-health perception and dementia knowledge with dementia public stigma in nursing students: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Preparing nursing students for dementia care, a prevalent cause of mortality, disability, and dependency among older people, is essential. Positive perceptions of e-health are believed to be associated with better knowledge, attitude, and skills among nurses across various care contexts. However, the relationship between e-health perception and nursing students' dementia knowledge and stigma remains underexplored.

Association of acid-suppressive therapy and tuberculosis: A causal or coincidental link to the infection?

Background: Acid-suppressant proton-pump inhibitors (PPI) and histamine-2-receptor antagonists (H2RA) are associated with an increased risk of tuberculosis (TB). However, it remains unclear whether this association is causal or coincidental.

Methods: Patients newly diagnosed with TB between 2000 and 2013 were identified from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Database.

Glucose Upregulates ChREBP via Phosphorylation of AKT and AMPK to Modulate MALT1 and WISP1 Expression.

Glucose can activate the carbohydrate response element binding protein (ChREBP) transcription factor to control gene expressions in the metabolic pathways. The way of ChREBP involvement in human prostate cancer development remains undetermined. This study examined the interactions between prostate fibroblasts and cancer cells under the influences of ChREBP.

Melatonin supplementation attenuates cuproptosis and ferroptosis in aging cumulus and granulosa cells: potential for improving IVF outcomes in advanced maternal age.

Background: Advanced maternal age is associated with decreased oocyte quantity and quality and in vitro fertilization (IVF) success rates. This study aimed to investigate whether melatonin supplementation can improve IVF outcomes in women of advanced maternal age by modulating cuproptosis and ferroptosis.

Methods: This prospective cohort study included 161 women aged 35-45 years undergoing IVF-frozen embryo transfer cycles.
