Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how cocoa polyphenol extract (CPE) affects myogenic differentiation in C2C12 murine myoblasts exposed to hydrogen peroxide (HO), showing that HO reduces cell viability and damages mitochondria.
- - Treatment with CPE prior to HO exposure helps protect myoblasts from oxidative damage, improves the number and function of mitochondria, and supports better cell survival and differentiation over time.
- - Results suggest that CPE supplementation not only preserves mitochondrial health but also aids in maintaining the ability of damaged myoblasts to differentiate, highlighting potential benefits for nutritional interventions.
Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) presents a significant challenge in healthcare, prompting exploration into non-pharmacological interventions to complement traditional treatments.
Objective: This systematic review explores the efficacy of lifestyle-based interventions in managing AD.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus between 2018 and 2023, selecting randomized controlled trials examining factors such as exercise, diet, stress, and cognitive training in AD patients.
Article Synopsis
- * The researchers identified 96 TPA-positive samples, finding 47.9% were SS14-like and 52.1% were Nichols-like, revealing a notable increase in Nichols-like strains compared to previous data.
- * All samples displayed mutations linked to resistance against macrolide antibiotics, while none showed tetracycline resistance, highlighting the need for ongoing surveillance to track syphilis strain variations and improve public health responses.
Background: The VDR gene is identified as a crucial host factor, influencing the gut microbiota. The current research focuses on an observational study that compares gut microbiota composition among individuals with different VDR gene TaqI polymorphisms in a Caucasian Spanish population. This study aims to elucidate the interplay between genetic variations in the VDR gene and the gut microbial composition.

The aim of this study is to update the state of OM medical education in European universities.
Methods: Between March and August 2022, an e-mail survey regarding OM training to undergraduate medical students was conducted among OM professors at European universities in 28 countries (n = 347).
