Neutron capture reaction cross sections on Ge are of importance to determine Ge production during the astrophysical slow neutron capture process. We present new resonance data on Ge( ) reactions below 70 keV neutron energy. We calculate Maxwellian averaged cross sections, combining our data below 70 keV with evaluated cross sections at higher neutron energies. Our stellar cross sections are in agreement with a previous activation measurement performed at Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe by Marganiec et al., once their data has been re-normalised to account for an update in the reference cross section used in that experiment.

Health Inequalities Between Afro-descendants and Non-Afro-descendants in Peru: Evidence from the Demographic and Family Health Survey.

J Racial Ethn Health Disparities

January 2025

Epidemiology and Health Economics Research (EHER), Universidad Científica del Sur, Lima, Peru.

Background: The Afro-Peruvian population is one of the ethnic minorities most affected by cultural, socioeconomic, and health barriers; however, there is little evidence on health inequalities in this ethnic group. Therefore, We aimed to determine health inequalities among the Peruvian Afro-descendant population in comparison with non-Afro-descendants.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using data from the Demographic and Family Health Survey 2022.

Background: An imbalance between the production and clearance of amyloid beta (Aß) has emerged as a major cause of sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD). Retinal wholemount studies can identify cell-specific involvement in Aß clearance mechanisms which cannot be accomplished in the brain ex vivo.

Methods: Eye cross-sections of double transgenic (Tg, APP-PS1) and non-carrier sibling female mice (n = 16, 4 per group) at 3- and 9- month ages were probed with antibodies 6E10 (Aβ1-16 amino-acid residues, soluble and insoluble species), ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (IBA1, microglia/macrophage), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP, astrocytes), glutamine synthetase (GS, Müller cells) and aquaporin-4 (AQP4, membrane water channel) using immunofluorescence.

Background: Disrupted balance between amyloidogenic and non-amyloidogenic pathways leads to cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Evidence suggests vitamin A (VA) supplementation favors the non-amyloidogenic pathway through upregulation of α-secretase. Originally used to map embryonic retinoic acid (RA) signaling, RARE-LacZ mice possess multiple LacZ genes controlled by retinoic acid response elements (RAREs).

Background: This study identifies and quantifies diverse pathological tau forms in the retina at both early and advanced stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and assesses their correlation with disease status. In the pathogenesis of AD, the tau protein undergoes post-translational modifications, including hyperphosphorylation (p-tau). As the disease progresses, pathological tau can propagate as oligomers, aggregate into fibrils, and paired helical filaments (PHF), and ultimately form intraneuronal neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs).

Background: The complement system contributes to enhanced inflammation and cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Previous studies have demonstrated constitutive deletion of the classical initiator protein, C1q, reduces glial activity and attenuates neuronal loss in AD mouse models. As it is now known that microglia are the primary producers of C1q in the brain, the objective of this study was to determine if microglial specific deletion of C1q would reduce lysosome associated phagocytosis of Vglut1, an excitatory synapse marker, and if reductions in the phagocytosis of Vglut1 would be accompanied by a reduction in the phagocytosis of beta-amyloid.
