Exchange sex and higher education were associated with an increased likelihood of international sexual partnerships (ISPs). Exchange sex and older age were associated with an increased likelihood of condomless sex in ISPs. Educational and socioeconomic factors may create unbalanced power dynamics that influence exchange sex and condomless sex in ISPs.

Blood-brain barrier water permeability across the adult lifespan: A multi-echo ASL study.
Neurobiol Aging

An emerging biomarker of blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability is the time of exchange (Tex) of water from the blood to tissue, as measured by multi-echo arterial spin labeling (ASL) MRI. This new non-invasive sequence, already tested in mice, has recently been adapted to humans and optimized for clinical scanning time. In this study, we studied the normal variability of Tex over age and sex, which needs to be established as a reference for studying changes in neurological disease.

Background: Familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) types 1-3 are associated with protein-altering genetic variants in , and , respectively. These genes have also been linked to epilepsy. Previous studies primarily focused on phenotypes, examining genetic variants in individuals with characteristic FHM symptoms.

Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) is a transmembrane serine exopeptidase abundantly expressed in the kidneys, predominantly in the proximal tubule (PT); however, its non-enzymatic functions in this nephron segment remain poorly understood. While DPP4 physically associates with the Na/H exchanger isoform 3 (NHE3) and its inhibitors exert natriuretic effects, the DPP4 role in blood pressure (BP) regulation remains controversial. This study investigated the effects of PT-specific deletion ( ) and global deletion ( ) on systolic blood pressure (SBP), natriuresis, and NHE3 regulation under baseline and angiotensin II (Ang II)-stimulated conditions in both male and female mice.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between Bispectral Index (BIS) and age-adjusted Minimum Alveolar Concentration (aaMAC) during anesthesia maintenance in adults.
- Factors such as age, ASA status, and specific anesthetic agents were found to influence BIS readings, indicating that older patients and those given certain drugs showed higher BIS at the same aaMAC.
- A generalized estimation equation was developed to predict either BIS or aaMAC based on known values, despite significant variances in their relationship.
