Background: Music listening has been shown to reduce anxiety, stress, and patient tolerance of procedures. Music may also have beneficial effects on inflammatory biomarkers in intensive care and post-operative patients, but the quality of evidence is not clear.
Objectives: We conducted a systematic review to evaluate the effects of music on inflammatory biomarkers in intensive care, and post-operative patients.
Methods: A comprehensive search of the literature was performed. After screening 1570 references, full text review of 26 studies was performed. Fourteen studies were selected for inclusion.
Results: Seven studies showed a significant decrease in cortisol levels, but the level of evidence was low. Three studies had low risk of methodological bias, while 11 studies had high risk of bias.
Conclusions: Music intervention may decrease cortisol levels, but other biomarkers remain unchanged. Given the low level of evidence, further research on music effects on inflammatory biomarkers is needed.

Background: Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is a peptide hormone that plays several physiological roles in treating diabetes and in protecting the brain. Recent clinical trials testing 4 different GLP-1 class drugs in phase 2 trials showed a clear correlation between neuroprotection and the ability to cross the BBB. Exenatide and Lixisenatide both showed excellent protective effects in patients Parkinson's disease (PD) and both drugs can readily cross the BBB.

Background: The impact of probiotics as gut and immunological modulator in restoring gut microbial balance and immune cells expression have generated much attention in the health sector. Its inhibitory effect on bacterial translocation and associated neural inflammatory processes has been reported. However, there is scarcity of data on its neuroprotective impact against neuroinflammation-associated neurodegeneration and memory impairment.

Multiple loss-of-function variants strongly implicate TREM2 as a key regulator of Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. Accordingly, TREM2 antibodies are currently in development to evaluate the therapeutic potential of TREM2 agonism in neurodegenerative diseases.

Evidence suggest that chronic activation of microglia cause neuroinflammation and neuronal injuries, contributing to cognitive impairment. Therefore, modulation of microglial pathway like CSF-1R represents an attractive therapeutic strategy.
