Objective: Approximately 42% of American adults are living with obesity, increasing their risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Efficacious approaches to prevent and treat obesity may reduce CRC incidence. Daily calorie restriction (Cal-R) is the most common approach to treating obesity, yet clinically meaningful weight loss is elusive owing to waning adherence. Time-restricted eating (TRE) consists of consuming foods within a specified time frame, creating a natural calorie deficit. TRE in animals shows cancer protective effects. In humans, TRE is safe and acceptable among adults with obesity, producing ~3% to 5% weight loss and reductions in oxidative stress and insulin resistance. However, TRE has not been tested rigorously for CRC preventive effects.

Methods: The authors describe a 12-month randomized controlled trial of 8-hour TRE (ad libitum 12 PM-8 PM), Cal-R (25% restriction daily), or Control among 255 adults at increased risk for CRC and with obesity.

Results: Effects on the following will be examined: 1) body weight, body composition, and adherence; 2) circulating metabolic, inflammation, and oxidative stress biomarkers; 3) colonic mucosal gene expression profiles and tissue microenvironment; and 4) maintenance of benefits on body weight/composition and CRC risk markers.

Conclusions: This study will examine efficacious lifestyle strategies to treat obesity and reduce CRC risk among individuals with obesity.

Effect of Capromorelin on Appetite and Weight Gain of Domestic Pigeons ().

J Avian Med Surg

January 2025

Department of Small Animal Medicine and Surgery (Zoological Medicine), University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine, Athens, GA 30602, USA,

Weight loss and decreased appetite are commonly encountered sequela of disease and stress in avian patients. However, there is currently minimal information in the veterinary literature regarding appetite stimulation in birds. Capromorelin is a potent agonist of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor and increases food consumption via direct stimulation of the hunger centers of the hypothalamus.

Cell-Cultured Influenza Vaccine Enhances IFN-γ+ T Cell and Memory T Cell Responses Following A/Victoria/2570/2019 IVR-215 (A/H1N1) Infection.

Vaccines (Basel)

December 2024

The Vaccine Bio Research Institute, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Annex to Seoul Saint Mary Hospital, 222 Banpo-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea.

Background: Influenza remains a significant public health challenge, with vaccination being a substantial way to prevent it. Cell-cultured influenza vaccines have emerged to improve on the drawbacks of egg-based vaccines, but there are few studies focusing on T cell immunity with both types of vaccines. Therefore, we studied the following 2022-2023 seasonal influenza vaccines with a standard dose and high dose: cell-based (C_sd and C_hd) and egg-based (E_sd and E_hd) vaccines.

Standard-of-care influenza vaccines contain antigens that are typically derived from components of wild type (WT) influenza viruses. Often, these antigens elicit strain-specific immune responses and are susceptible to mismatch in seasons where antigenic drift is prevalent. Thanks to advances in viral surveillance and sequencing, influenza vaccine antigens can now be optimized using computationally derived methodologies and algorithms to enhance their immunogenicity.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals contain complex and diverse features, serving as a crucial basis for arrhythmia diagnosis. The subtle differences in characteristics among various types of arrhythmias, coupled with class imbalance issues in datasets, often hinder existing models from effectively capturing key information within these complex signals, leading to a bias towards normal classes. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a method for arrhythmia classification based on a multi-branch, multi-head attention temporal convolutional network (MB-MHA-TCN).

Enhanced Intrusion Detection for ICS Using MS1DCNN and Transformer to Tackle Data Imbalance.

Sensors (Basel)

December 2024

School of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, Hebei University of Technology, Tianjin 300132, China.

With the escalating threat posed by network intrusions, the development of efficient intrusion detection systems (IDSs) has become imperative. This study focuses on improving detection performance in programmable logic controller (PLC) network security while addressing challenges related to data imbalance and long-tail distributions. A dataset containing five types of attacks targeting programmable logic controllers (PLCs) in industrial control systems (ICS) was first constructed.
