Cortical and subcortical gray matter volume and cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease.

Introduction: This study investigated the cortical and subcortical gray matter volume (GMV) and cognitive impairment (CI) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).

Methods: In this study, T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging of the cortex and subcortex was conducted on 92 individuals diagnosed with PD and 92 healthy controls (HCs). PD patients were divided into three groups: PD with normal cognition (PD-NC,  = 21), PD with mild CI (PD-MCI,  = 43), and PD with severe CI (PD-SCI,  = 28).

Acute Treatment with Fucoidan Ameliorates Traumatic Brain Injury-Induced Neurological Damages and Memory Deficits in Rats: Role of BBB Integrity, Microglial Activity, Neuroinflammation, and Oxidative Stress.

There is no acquiesced remedy for the treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI)-associated impairment, especially cognitive decline. The first 24 h after TBI is a golden time for preventing the progress of the impairments. The present study aimed to examine the acute effects of fucoidan on neurological outcomes and memory performance and investigate its potential mechanisms in rats with TBI.

Fabrication and optimization of ultra-long stable microencapsulated chlorophyll using combinations of wall material via response surface methodology.

Nowadays, the need to use natural pigments instead of artificial colorants in food has increased due to health risks. Chlorophyll is a natural colorant with antioxidant properties. Chlorophyll is a natural pigment with superior antioxidant properties.
