Whey protein boosts the antioxidant profile of rats by enhancing the activities of crucial antioxidant enzymes in a tissue-specific manner.

Whey protein, a by-product of cheese industry, is harmful for the environment (i.e., surface and subterranean waters, soil) and, therefore, for humans due to its high polluting burden.

Pathological Hip Fractures in Children and Adolescents Due to Benign Tumor or Tumor-Like Lesions.

Hip fractures are uncommon in childhood and adolescence. A high-energy injury is the most common cause. Low-energy trauma may result in a pathological hip fracture or stress fracture of the femoral neck, on the grounds of a preexisting skeletal disease, a tumor, or a tumor-like lesion.

Association between white matter hyperintensities and executive decline in mild cognitive impairment is network dependent.

White matter hyperintensities (WMH) in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) have been associated with impaired executive functioning, although contradictory findings have been reported. The aim of this study was to examine whether WMH location influenced the relation between WMH and executive functioning in MCI participants (55-90 years) in the European multicenter memory-clinic-based DESCRIPA study, who underwent MRI scanning at baseline (N = 337). Linear mixed model analysis was performed to test the association between WMH damage in three networks (frontal-parietal, frontal-subcortical and frontal-parietal-subcortical network) and change in executive functioning over a 3-year period.

White matter hyperintensities and medial temporal lobe atrophy in clinical subtypes of mild cognitive impairment: the DESCRIPA study.

Background: Clinical subtypes of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) may represent different underlying aetiologies.

Methods: This European, multicentre, memory clinic based study (DESCRIPA) of non-demented subjects investigated whether MCI subtypes have different brain correlates on MRI and whether the relation between subtypes and brain pathology is modified by age. Using visual rating scales, medial temporal lobe atrophy (MTA) (0-4) and white matter hyperintensities (WMH) (0-30) were assessed.

3D MR Models and Volumetric Measurements of the Brain in Patients with Alzheimer's Disease.

This study aimed to describe the procedure we use to create 3D models of the brain parenchyma from MRI images and calculate the volume of the whole brain and different compartments of the brain in patients with Alzheimer's disease. The utility of the 3D models and volumetric measurements of the whole brain parenchyma and different brain structures is discussed. Thirty-six patients with Alzheimer's disease were examined during the last six months with MRI.
