Contribution of individual phospholipase A2 enzymes to the cleavage of oxidized phospholipids in human blood plasma by Philipp Jokesch, Olga Oskolkova, Maria Fedorova, Bernd Gesslbauer, Valery Bochkov

“…Species containing 1 to 3 oxygen atoms were relatively stable to degradation in plasma, while OxPLs containing > 3 extra oxygens were degraded but at significantly slower rate than truncated species. In contrast to truncated species, degradation of full-length OxPLs with > 3 extra oxygens were only minimally inhibited by darapladib. …”

Comparing Balance Performance on Force Platform Measures in Individuals with Parkinson’s Disease and Healthy Adults by Cathy C. Harro, Amanda Kelch, Cora Hargis, Abigail DeWitt

“…The PD cohort demonstrated significantly greater postural instability on the sensory organization test (SOT) measures (P=0.013, CI-95% = 1.286 to 10.37) and slower movement velocity on the limits of stability (LOS) test (P=0.001, CI-95% = 0.597 to 1.595) than the healthy cohort, suggesting that these tests were sensitive to detect sensory integration and voluntary postural control deficits in the PD cohort. …”

Temporal and geographical dynamics of early-onset Parkinson’s disease burden: insights from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 by Yong Li, Dianhui Tan, Cheng Luo, Junchen Chen

“…Statistical methods, including joinpoint regression and decomposition analysis, were employed to identify temporal patterns and factors influencing variations in EOPD burden over time.ResultsThe global incidence of EOPD saw a significant increase between 2000 and 2009, with an average annual percentage change (AAPC) of 4.3%, continuing at a slower rate (AAPC 1.6%) from 2010 to 2021. By 2021, the incidence reached 2.1 cases per 100,000 population, up from 1.0 in 1990. …”

Bilateral Virtual Water Trade Balance and Sustainable Development using the Gravity Model An Explanation by sepideh ameri golestan, sadegh bakhtiari, Sara Ghobadi

“…Although the water cycle changes are often evaluated only based on physical water flows and its reserves, this method is not effective on a larger scale and in relation to the global water cycle, and it also emphasizes the need to pay attention to "virtual water" flows which should be considered in addition to the physical flows of water. …”
