Department of Neurology, Clinical Research Centre, Saiseikai Imabari Hospital, Ehime, 799- 1592, Japan.
Recent advancements in neurology have shifted focus from mere diagnosis to comprehensive management of movement disorders, particularly Parkinson's Disease (PD), which is rapidly increasing in prevalence due to global ageing trends. While age is a key risk factor for PD, centenarians often exhibit a remarkably low prevalence of the disease, presenting an intriguing paradox. This viewpoint explores potential reasons for this low prevalence, drawing on studies from regions with high centenarian populations, known as Blue Zones.

Introduction: Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is characterised by brittle bones, severe skeletal deformities, low sleep quality, and restricted breathing. We aimed to distinguish how disease and obesity affect these results.
Methods: According to BMI, we considered four groups of peer adults (median age: 35.
Effects of Paradoxical Sleep Deprivation on MCH and Hypocretin Systems.
Sleep Sci
December 2024
Departamento de Psicobiologia, Escola Paulista de Medicina, Universidade Federal de São Paulo, São Paulo, SP, Brazil.
Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) and hypocretins (Hcrt) 1 and 2 are neuropeptides synthesized in the lateral hypothalamic area by neurons that are critical in the regulation of sleep and wakefulness. Their receptors are located in the same cerebral regions, including the frontal cortex and hippocampus. The present study aimed to assess whether 96 hours of paradoxical sleep deprivation alters the functioning of the MCH and hypocretin systems.

October 2024
Department of Physiology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences Nagpur, Nagpur, IND.
Background: Shift work is essential in health care because of the need for 24-hour services but it is associated with adverse health outcomes, including disrupted circadian rhythms, poor sleep, unhealthy dietary habits, and increased stress. These effects may differ across job categories, such as nursing officers and hospital support staff, owing to varying physical and psychological demands. Limited research exists on how shift work impacts these groups differently, particularly regarding readiness to change unhealthy lifestyle behaviors.

Department of Occupational and Social Medicine, Part of Copenhagen University Hospital, Holbaek Hospital, Gl. Ringstedvej 4B, Holbaek, 4300, Denmark.
Background: A proposed risk factor for cardiovascular disease is high occupational physical activity (OPA), which seems to increase blood pressure (BP), in contrast to leisure time physical activity. Increased BP may lead to hypertension that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and premature death. Exposures to OPA differ across sex and also within occupational group.
