Metabolism of Mycotoxins, Intracellular Functions of Vitamin B12, and Neurological Manifestations in Patients with Chronic Toxigenic Mold Exposures. A Review by Ebere C. Anyanwu, Mohammed Morad, Andrew W. Campbell

“…Since patients with chronic exposures to toxigenic molds manifest vitamin B12 deficiencies, the role of mycotoxins in vitamin B12 metabolism is assessed, and since vitamin B12 plays important biochemical roles in one-carbon metabolism, the synergistic effects with mycotoxins on humans are reviewed. An outline of the proposed mechanism by which mycotoxins disrupt or interfere with the normal functions of vitamin B12 on one-carbon metabolism is proposed. …”

Relations entre l’estime de soi et l’état de santé « objectif » des aînés by Enguerran Macia, Gilles Boëtsch, Nicole Chapuis-Lucciani

“…In spite of several studies on self-esteem covering the human life-span, the relation between self-esteem, aging and health remains incompletely explored, particularly in the French population.The objective of this study is twofold: (1) to assess the relation between self-esteem and socio-demographic factors, notably age, among older French adults, and (2) if, as is presumed, advancing age is associated with lower self-esteem, to test the mediating effect of chronic diseases and physical incapacities on the relation between age and negative self-esteem.For this, 400 older adults living in Marseille, aged from 60 to 92, were individually interviewed (average duration: 1 h 30).In this sample, age, place of residence and educational level were associated with self-esteem. …”
