Introduction And Aim: Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) mortality continues to increase across the world. This meta-analysis was aimed to investigate the relationship between proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and the risk of EAC.
Methods: This meta-analysis was done as per the PRISMA checklist using relevant keywords. To this end, an extensive search was done on 29/6/2022 in EMBASE, Web of Science (ISI), PubMed, and Scopus. In this study, 95% confidence interval (CI) and standardized mean difference (SMD) were used to estimate the overall effect size. Analysis of the odds ratio (OR) for EAC was done using a random effects model.
Results: A total of 20 studies were included in the review. Compared to the group that received PPIs, the OR of EAC in the recipients of the PPIs group was obtained at 0.67 (95% CI = 0.39-1.29, P = 0.240). The meta-regression, including year, follow-up time, study design, sample size, quality of the study, study period, and geographical location, demonstrated no source of heterogeneity (P > 0.10).
Conclusion: No significant relationship was found between PPIs use and the risk of EAC. Accordingly, PPIs do not have a protective or risk factor effect on EAC.

In biological systems, heme-copper oxidase (HCO) enzymes play a crucial role in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), where the pivotal O-O bond cleavage of the (heme)Fe-peroxo-Cu intermediate is facilitated by active-site (peroxo core) hydrogen bonding followed by proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) from a nearby (phenolic) tyrosine residue. A useful approach to comprehend the fundamental relationships among H-bonding/proton/H-atom donors and their abilities to induce O-O bond homolysis involves the investigation of synthetic, bioinspired model systems where the exogenous substrate properties (such as p and bond dissociation energy (BDE)) can be systematically altered. This report details the reactivity of a heme-peroxo-copper HCO model complex (LS-4DCHIm) toward a series of substituted catechol substrates that span a range of p and O-H bond BDE values, exhibiting different reaction mechanisms.

Context: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) disproportionately impacts lower socioeconomic groups and is associated with many symptoms and complex decisions. Integration of Kidney Supportive Care (KSC) with CKD care can address these needs. To our knowledge, this approach has not been described in an underserved population.

Background: N‐acetyl‐aspartate (NAA) and myo‐inositol (mI) are neurometabolites reflecting neuronal viability and astrocyte activity, respectively. These can be quantified in vivo using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H‐MRS). Previous studies have suggested that these metabolites could serve as biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease dementia (AD).

However, the metabolic and inflammatory effects of body fat varies based on its anatomical localization. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association of MRI‐derived abdominal visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue (VAT and SAT), liver proton‐density fat fraction (PDFF), thigh fat‐to‐muscle ratio (FMR), and insulin resistance with whole‐brain amyloid burden in cognitively normal midlife individuals.

Background: Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is often a precursor to Alzheimer’s dementia (AD). Recent research underscores the relationship between mitochondrial dysfunction and amyloid‐beta accumulation, raising the prospect of targeting mitochondrial function for intervention. Transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM), a non‐invasive technique utilizing near‐infrared light, has been shown to enhance mitochondrial function.
