Sparkling wines elaborated with a traditional method need to age in the bottle in contact with wine lees because yeast autolysis enriches the wines in colloids and improves their effervescence, foam and aromatic complexity. It is generally considered that lees protect the wine against oxidation because they consume small amounts of oxygen that can permeate the crown cap. However, to our knowledge there is no specific study on this subject using lees from real sparkling wine. Therefore, the oxygen consumption rate (OCR) of the lees of sparkling wines from the first to the ninth year of aging time was measured using a noninvasive fluorescence measurement method. The results indicate that lees really consume oxygen and that their OCR tended to decrease with the wine aging time. These data suggest that the lees' capacity to protect against oxidation decreases over time, which could affect the ability of sparkling wines to age properly.

Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a single home-based fall prevention program: a prospective observational study based on questionnaires and claims data.
BMC Geriatr
December 2024
ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences, Winterthur Institute of Health Economics, Winterthur, Switzerland.
Background: Fall prevention programmes are essential interventions in societies with aging populations. This study assessed the fall rate and other health outcomes, as well as the cost-effectiveness of a home-based fall prevention programme for community-dwelling older people. In a single home visit, trained physical or occupational therapists performed fall risk assessments, eliminated environmental risk factors, and provided tailored exercises.

Background: Long-term consumption of Western Diet (WD) is a well-established risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD); however, there is a paucity of studies on the long-term effects of WD on the pathophysiology of CVD and sex-specific responses.
Methods: Our study aimed to investigate the sex-specific pathophysiological changes in left ventricular (LV) function using transthoracic echocardiography (ECHO) and LV tissue transcriptomics in WD-fed C57BL/6 J mice for 125 days, starting at the age of 300 through 425 days.
Results: In female mice, consumption of the WD diet showed long-term effects on LV structure and possible development of HFpEF-like phenotype with compensatory cardiac structural changes later in life.
Cost-effectiveness analysis of proactive home visits compared with site-based community health worker care on antenatal care outcomes in Mali: a cluster-randomised trial.
BMJ Glob Health
December 2024
Muso, Bamako, Mali; San Francisco, USA.
Introduction: Despite recommendations from the WHO, antenatal care (ANC) coverage remains low in many low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). Community health workers (CHWs) can play an important role in expanding ANC coverage through pregnancy identification, provision of health education, screening for complications, delivery of therapeutic care and referral to higher levels of care. However, despite the success of CHW programmes in various countries, WHO has called for additional research to develop evidence-based models that optimise CHW service delivery and that can be replicated across geographies.

Background: Early intervention may prevent maltreatment during infancy. This study examined the effectiveness of interventions initiated during the perinatal period to prevent child abuse and neglect.
Methods: We searched the MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases for articles published before February 2023.
Mental health service users' experiences of everyday occupations while attending day centres during the transition into retirement age.

Background: Existing research has shown that those ageing with severe mental illness face significant challenges in daily life. Attendance at community-based day centres (DCs) is offered to support daily structure and break isolation. However, little is known about the experiences of those receiving this type of support while transitioning into retirement age.
