Valacyclovir was associated with greater cognitive decline and did not improve disease markers in patients with symptomatic #AlzheimerDisease and HSV seropositivity.

JAMA infographic: study on valacyclovir for Alzheimer's. Question: Can valacyclovir provide benefit? Conclusion: Not efficacious. Population: 66 women, 54 men, mean age 71.4. Intervention: 120 patients randomized to valacyclovir or placebo. Findings: Valacyclovir worsened cognition vs. placebo.

Summer slide is a replicable phenomenon across diverse datasets that's more than "forgetting" school material in vacation months, but effects of socioeconomic inequality are ➡️ 7x bigger! ⬅️

Les infections (notamment respiratoires ou urinaires) accélèreraient l’atrophie cérébrale, le déclin cognitif et la positivité des biomarqueurs #alzsky

Infections are associated with annual changes in machine learning-derived neuroimaging signatures. a Forest plot shows the associations of influenza, miscellaneous bacterial, upper respiratory tract, skin/subcutaneous, and urinary tract infections with rates of change in neuroimaging signatures that capture distinct patterns of age-related brain volume loss (i.e., subcortical, medial-temporal lobe, parieto- temporal lobe, diffuse cortical, and perisylvian). Higher values reflect greater atrophy. Annual changes of standardized brain atrophy signatures associated with history of a given infection () were derived from linear mixed effects models adjusted for demographic, physiological, and comorbid variables, and two- way interactions of covariates with time. Red shapes indicate statistical significance (p<0.05). b Scatterplots show parieto-temporal volume loss associated with influenza, miscellaneous bacterial, upper respiratory tract, skin/subcutaneous, and urinary tract infections. Annual changes of standardized brain atrophy signatures associated with history of a given infection () were derived from linear mixed effects models adjusted for the aforementioned covariates. c Rose plots show the rates of change in machine learning-derived neuroimaging signatures associated with upper respiratory tract, skin/subcutaneous, and urinary tract infections in an independent replication cohort (the UK Biobank; UKB). Insufficient cases prevented examination of influenza and miscellaneous bacterial infections. Annual changes of standardized brain atrophy signatures associated with history of a given infection () were derived from linear mixed effects models adjusted for demographic, physiological, and comorbid variables, and two- way interactions of covariates with time Infections are associated with biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD). a The percentages (and corresponding frequencies) of amyloid- (A) positive (+) and negative (-) participants who maintain a history of influenza, miscellaneous bacterial, upper respiratory tract, skin/subcutaneous, and urinary tract infections. Odds of A+ (Odds Ratio) were derived from logistic regression models adjusted for demographic, physiological, and comorbid variables. Heatmaps show the b baseline and c longitudinal associations of infections with plasma biomarker levels. Differences and annual changes in plasma biomarker levels associated with history of a given infection () were derived from linear mixed effects models adjusted for demographic, physiological, and comorbid variables, and two-way interactions of covariates with time. Scatterplots show how a history of d upper respiratory tract e and urinary tract infections modifies the longitudinal associations of infection-related atrophy (i.e., parieto-temporal atrophy) with plasma NfL levels (infection*parieto-temporal atrophy*time). Annual changes in NfL levels associated with history of a given infection () were derived from linear mixed effects models adjusted for the aforementioned covariates. Individual-specific standardized slopes of NfL and parieto-temporal atrophy are displayed. Key: A42/40, amyloid-beta ratio; ADRD, Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias; GFAP, glial fibrillary acidic protein; NfL, neurofilament light chain; OR, odds ratio; pTau-181, phosphorylated tau-181; UKB, UK Biobank; URTIs, upper respiratory tract infections; UTIs, urinary tract infections

my section was all about uterine tissues creating happy little "benign" tumors that make your life hell but since they are not cancerous it takes forever to diagnose and find a treatment that works for YOU!

#SciArt #endometriosis #fibroids #adenomyosis
cartoony page from the zine I drew, the colors are dark blue, light blue, yellow, orange, light pink and dark pink. the text is When the uterus tissues go WILD! - FIBROIDS- non-cancerous abnormal growths of muscle tissue extremely common, 2/3, ~50% asymptomatic unclear origin, estrogen? progesterone? at higher risk: African Caribbean, family history, early periods, obesity heavy bleeds, anemia, back pain infertility constipation, frequent urination Dr. Platypus fact: one of the biggest fibroid was 28kg in a 53 year old Singaporean patient! the middle drawing is of an uterus absolutely covered in pink blobs representing the different type of fibroids: pedunculate (outside), pedunculate (inside), subserosal, submucosal, utnramural cartoony page from the zine I drew, the colors are dark blue, light blue, yellow, orange, light pink and dark pink. the text is When the uterus tissues go WILD! - ENDOMETRIOSIS- endometrial-like tissue growing outside of the uterus unclear origin (cells escaping fallopian tube at menstruation, immune dysfunction, local estrogen production, circulation, surgery, genetics) Dr. Platypus fact: endometriotic lesions were even found in the brain, which caused neurological and psychiatric symptoms! ~8 years to get diagnosed 1/10 people bleeding outside and inside infertility pelvic PAIN! during intercourse, bowel movement, urination, or for no good reason nausea the middle drawing is of an uterus, guts, kidneys ovaries and bladder covered in pink endometriotic lesions, none of the organs are happy about it, one ovary has a massive pink chocolate cyst on it (a cyst full of endometrial tissue and blood) cartoony page from the zine I drew, the colors are dark blue, light blue, yellow, orange, light pink and dark pink. the text is When the uterus tissues go WILD! - ADENOMYOSIS- endometrial tissue frowing inside the muscles of the uterus 1/10 people, and they might not even have symptoms (one figure sayinh you telling me WHAT??) unclear origin... shocking i know... estrogen?? other hormones? most likely in: +30 years, abdominal surgery, given birth heavy abnormal bleeding, anemia, pain bloating, fullness infertility Dr. Platypus fact:you can have endometriosis, adenomyosis, and firboids ALL AT ONCE!... and they all have similar symptoms the middle drawing is of an uterus absolutely covered in pink blobs representing the endometrial tissue growing within the muscle: focal (adenomyoma), diffuse, enlarged uterus cartoony page from the zine I drew, the colors are dark blue, light blue, yellow, orange, light pink and dark pink. the text is When the uterus tissues go WILD! - MANAGING- there is no one-size-fits-all treatment, care ranges from less to more invasive first you need to diagnose the problem: ultrasound, blood markers, Magnetic Resonanse Imaging (MRI), surgery etc. PAIN CONTROL: painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs, physiotherapy, heating pads or hot water bottles, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) HORMONAL MEDICATION: IUS, mini pill, implants (progestogen only), combined pill, patches (progestogen + estrogen), hypothalamus pills injections (GnRH agonists and antagonists) SURGERY (diagnostic, to alleviate symptoms, and curative) laparoscopy, transvaginal hysteroscopy, abdominal (all biopsied) diseased tissue removal by laser or surgical hysterectomy: curative for adenomyosis and fibroids, but harder to access if <45 Dr. Platypus fact: platypuses don't have a uterus*(long oviduct, sometimes called the "uterus") so don't need to worry about any of this

Five main nucleotide bases are A, G, C, T & U:

A - Adenine - 'ADEN' is Greek for "gland", found in pancreas
G - Guanine - found in bird GUANO
C - Cytosine - calf thymus, but named for CELLs
T - Thymine - Also isolated from calf THYMUS.
