Background: Spousal care partners to people with dementia (PWD) have a higher rate of depression and anxiety when compared to similar age controls. Previous studies have suggested a role of gut microbiota in the pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric symptoms and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Thus, our study aims to: (1) determine the presence and severity of depression and anxiety in care partners of PWD, and (2) determine the concentrations of short chain fatty acids (SCFA), which are mainly produced by gut microbiota and are important in mediating gut microbiota effects, in the blood of care partners of PWD.

Early gut microbiome development may impact brain and behavioral development. Using a nonhuman primate model (), we investigated the association between social environments and the gut microbiome on infant neurodevelopment and cognitive function. Infant rhesus monkeys ( = 33) were either mother-peer-reared (MPR) or nursery-reared (NR).

Over the past 40 years, the introduction and refinement of hydroxyurea therapy has led to remarkable progress for the care of individuals with sickle cell anemia (SCA). From initial small proof-of-principle studies to multi-center Phase 3 controlled clinical trials and then numerous open-label studies, the consistent benefits of once-daily oral hydroxyurea have been demonstrated across the lifespan. Elevated fetal hemoglobin (HbF) serves as the most important treatment response, as HbF delays sickle hemoglobin polymerization and reduces erythrocyte sickling.

Gastric cancer (GC) remains a significant global health challenge. This study aimed to comprehensively analyze GC epidemiology and risk factors to inform prevention and intervention strategies. We analyzed the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 data, conducted 16 different machine learning (ML) models of NHANES data, performed Mendelian randomization (MR) studies on disease phenotypes, dietary preferences, microbiome, blood-based markers, and integrated differential gene expression and expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) data from multiple cohorts to identify factors associated with GC risk.

The TP53 mutation is a poor prognostic factor for malignant tumors in a number of organs. The present study primarily aimed to clarify the impact of the mutant pattern of p53 on the prognosis and recurrence of gastric cancer. : For this purpose, 519 patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for cancer were enrolled in the present study.
