Alzheimers Dement

Background: Global epidemiological studies involving over nine million participants have shown a 35% lower incidence of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) in older cancer survivors compared to those without a history of cancer. This inverse relationship, consistent across recent studies with methodological controls, suggests that cancer itself, rather than cancer treatments, may offer protective factors against AD. This insight opens avenues for novel therapeutic strategies targeting early AD by harnessing cancer-associated protective factors.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects about 416 million individuals across the disease continuum. An estimated 40% of dementia cases can be prevented or delayed in onset by addressing modifiable risk factors like sleep time, physical activity (PA), and mood. These three behaviors (sleep time, physical inactivity, and mood) are linked to cognitive decline, and their tridirectional link has been shown by prior research work.

Background: Familial Alzheimer's disease research necessitates innovative methodologies to disentangle the intricate relationships between genetic factors and neuroimaging measures. Traditional frequentist approaches, often hampered by small sample sizes in this population and challenges in incorporating prior knowledge transparently, may limit the robustness of findings.
Methods: We analyzed neuroimaging data of preclinical PSNE1 single mutation carriers, utilizing the software JASP to test effects of carrier status on measures of basal forebrain functional connectivity using both frequentist and Bayesian approach.

Objective: The objective of the systematic review will be to evaluate the effect of paternity leave or fathers' parental leave on infant mortality rate, hospitalization, vaccination compliance, and breastfeeding duration.
Introduction: Current studies indicate that paternity leave positively affects infant health, but there is a significant lack of synthesized research on its impact on key infant health indicators. A systematic review of the existing evidence will help identify best practices and guide further research and policy development in this area.

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are one of the chronic diseases and the leading cause of death worldwide. More people die from CVDs worldwide than from any other cause each year. The effects of CVDs are not limited to mortality and morbidity but also have important health and economic outcomes.
