Background: Recent studies have revealed a strong association between the e2 allele of the Apolipoprotein E ( gene and lipid metabolites. In addition, carriers appear to be protected from cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease. This correlation supports the hypothesis that lipids may mediate the protective effect of on cognitive function, thereby providing potential targets for therapeutic intervention.

In this study, we assessed the association between maternal CTD or vasculitis and neonatal electrocardiographic (ECG) parameters.
Methods: Our study population was drawn from the Copenhagen Baby Heart Study (CBHS), a prospective, population-based cohort study open to all neonates born in the Copenhagen area.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates ChatGPT-4o's effectiveness in data extraction for systematic reviews compared to human reviewers.
- The AI showed a high accuracy rate of 92.4% and good reproducibility, achieving 94.1% agreement in data extraction across two sessions.
- Results suggest that ChatGPT-4o could serve as a reliable second reviewer for systematic reviews and may enhance future data summarization efforts.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates using raw Greek honey in cacao-based materials for 3D printing, focusing on their physical properties and thermal stability.
- It finds that incorporating honey not only improves the nutritional value and taste but also enhances the delivery of Vitamin D3, which is known to support the immune system but is difficult to absorb.
- The research suggests that a 10% concentration of Lavender Honey is optimal for creating a stable and effective 3D-printed product, indicating the potential for these formulations in personalized health supplements and medicine.
Using whole-genome sequencing (WGS) might offer insights into rare genetic variants associated with healthy aging and extreme longevity (EL), potentially pointing to useful therapeutic targets. In this study, we conducted a genome-wide association study using WGS data from the Long Life Family Study and identified a novel longevity-associated variant rs6543176 in the SLC9A2 gene. This SNP also showed a significant association with reduced hypertension risk and an increased, though not statistically significant, cancer risk.
