“…We examined whether early large postcessation weight gain predicts overall large weight gain.Design Retrospective cohort study.Setting Primary care setting—smoking cessation centre in Prague, Czech Republic.Participants Out of 3537 patients treated between 2005 and 2013, 1050 were continuous abstainers (verified by carbon monoxide measurement) at 1-year follow-up and formed the cohort of the current report. 48.7% were women (n=511) with the mean age of 46 (±14.4) years.Methods In this retrospective cohort study, all patients underwent usual tobacco dependence treatment using evidence-based methods. Weight was measured prior to smoking cessation and at each visit after quitting.Results The mean weight gain in the first month (n=763) was 0.79% (±2.03%), in the second month (n=646) was 1.49% (±2.58%), for the third month (n=566) 2.33% (±3.44%) and 4.1% (±5.31%) after 1-year follow-up (n=1050). …”

Investigating neuropathological correlates of hyperactive and psychotic symptoms in dementia: a systematic review by Giulia Negro, Giulia Negro, Michele Rossi, Camillo Imbimbo, Alberto Gatti, Andrea Magi, Andrea Magi, Ildebrando Marco Appollonio, Ildebrando Marco Appollonio, Alfredo Costa, Alfredo Costa, Tino Emanuele Poloni, Tino Emanuele Poloni

“…The neuropathological analysis revealed the co-occurrence of multiple proteinopathies, particularly TAUopathy, TDP-43 pathology, and Lewy-related pathology (LRP), with the latter, in association with ADNC, reported in 15 studies.DiscussionHIDA-P symptoms were linked with overlapping involvement of different neural circuits, particularly the amygdala and the broader limbic system. Evidence suggests that TAUopathy and multiple proteinopathies in key brain regions, such as amygdala, are central to the development of these symptoms. …”
