Objective: To investigate why certain at-risk individuals develop celiac disease (CD), we examined the association of proton pump inhibitors (PPI), histamine-2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs), and antibiotic prescriptions in the first 6 months of life with an early childhood diagnosis of CD.

Study Design: A retrospective cohort study was performed using the Military Healthcare System database. Children with a birth record from October 1, 2001, to September 30, 2013, were identified. Outpatient prescription records were queried for antibiotic, PPI, and H2RA prescriptions in the first 6 months of life. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to calculate the hazard ratio (HR) of developing CD based on medication exposure. International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes identified children with an outpatient visit for CD.

Results: There were 968 524 children who met the inclusion criteria with 1704 cases of CD in this group. The median follow-up for the cohort was approximately 4.5 years. PPIs (HR, 2.23; 95% CI, 1.76-2.83), H2RAs (HR, 1.94; 95% CI, 1.67-2.26), and antibiotics (HR, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.02-1.28) were all associated with an increased hazard of CD.

Conclusions: There is an increased risk of developing CD if antibiotics, PPIs and H2RAs are prescribed in the first 6 months of life. Our study highlights modifiable factors, such as medication stewardship, that may change the childhood risk of CD.

Both maternal obesity and postnatal consumption of obesogenic diets contribute to the development of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, there is no consensus as to whether diets that are high in fat or carbohydrates/sugars differentially influence the development of HCC. Moreover, the long-term effects of prenatal HF exposure on HCC and whether this is influenced by postnatal diet has not yet been evaluated.

Article Synopsis
  • Metformin, commonly used to treat diabetes, was studied for its potential benefits in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but some research indicates it may actually increase AD risk and pathology in humans.
  • In a study involving prolonged metformin administration in mice, younger non-transgenic mice showed improvements in attention and learning, while older mice faced memory retention deficits and cognitive impairments, particularly in those with AD.
  • The treatment also led to increased levels of harmful AD-related proteins and decreased crucial synaptic markers, suggesting that the use of metformin for Alzheimer's patients warrants careful evaluation.

Article Synopsis
  • Traditional hands-on training in bioinformatics often struggles with resource-intensive requirements and management issues for instructors, especially in virtual settings where tracking student progress is challenging.
  • The Training Infrastructure-as-a-Service (TIaaS) was developed to provide user-friendly, efficient training resources specifically for Galaxy-based courses, allowing event organizers to allocate dedicated resources for smoother operations and quick job completion.
  • TIaaS enhances the training experience for both instructors and students by offering a dashboard for monitoring progress and ensuring students can seamlessly continue using Galaxy tools even after the training, with significant usage reported over the past 60 months.

Alterations in neural pathways that regulate appetitive motivation may contribute to increased obesity risk in offspring born to mothers fed a high fat (HF) diet. However, current findings on the impact of maternal obesity on motivation in offspring are inconclusive, and there is no information about the long-lasting effects in aged animals. This study examined the longitudinal effect of perinatal and chronic postnatal HF intake on appetitive motivation in young and aged offspring.

Aims: To (1) Describe the sociodemographic and risk factor profiles of a sample of patients with coronary disease, (2) Explore associations between illness perceptions and health literacy with sociodemographic characteristics and risk factors, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), anxiety, and depression.

Methods And Results: Conducted as part of the ESC Prevention of CVD Project and EUROASPIRE V survey, patients were consecutively and retrospectively identified 6 months to 2 years after an acute event or elective procedure from 12 countries and interviewed. Three thousand four hundred and eight participants (76% male, mean age 64 years) were recruited, 16% were smokers, 38% obese, 60% physically inactive, and 41% hypertensive.
