“…Objective The study investigates the association between oral microbiome diversity and all-cause mortality.Design Population-based cohort study.Setting US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2009–2010 and 2011–2012).Participants A total of 8224 participants who had valid data on the oral microbiome diversity and survival through 31 December 2019 were included in this study.Primary and secondary outcome measures Oral microbiome diversity was measured using the observed number of amplicon sequence variant (ASV) and grouped into quartiles. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate the HR and 95% CI for all-cause mortality according to the quartiles of ASV number, adjusted for potential confounders.Results Among the 8224 participants (mean (SD) age: 42.0 (15.1) years; 49.9% male; 37.2% white, 23.8% black, 27.2% Hispanic and 11.8% other race/ethnicity), the median follow-up time was 108 months (IQR, 95–120 months) and 429 (5.2%) deaths were identified. …”

Does transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation alter pupil dilation? A living Bayesian meta-analysis by Ipek Pervaz, Lilly Thurn, Cecilia Vezzani, Luisa Kaluza, Anne Kühnel, Nils B. Kroemer

“…Results: Across studies, we found anecdotal evidence for the null hypothesis, showing that taVNS does not increase pupil size (g = 0.15, 95 % CI = [0.03, 0.27], BF01 = 1.0). Separating studies according to conventional vs. pulsed protocols revealed that studies using pulsed taVNS provide strong evidence for the alternative hypothesis(g = 0.36, 95 % CI = [0.19, 0.53], BF10 = 50.8) while conventional taVNS studies provide strong evidence for the null hypothesis (g = 0.002, CI = [-0.14, 0.14], BF01 = 21.9). …”
