Transport and Kinetic Property of the Butyric Acid in Water: A Simulation Study by Priya Dey, Vishal Singh, Hemant Kumar

“…The gut-brain axis is a bidirectional communication system that allows gut microbiota to communicate with the brain and vice versa. Studies suggest that the gut dysbiosis may enhance neurotoxic substances such as short-chain fatty-acids (SCFAs which are acetate, propionate, and butyrate) to the blood circulation and even to the brain through damaged blood brain barrier (BBB) and may cause protein aggregation which are implicated in the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), prion disease, motor neuron disease, Huntington’s disease (HD), Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). …”

Vitamin D and Risk of Multiple Sclerosis: A Mendelian Randomization Study. by Lauren E Mokry, Stephanie Ross, Omar S Ahmad, Vincenzo Forgetta, George Davey Smith, David Goltzman, Aaron Leong, Celia M T Greenwood, George Thanassoulis, J Brent Richards

“…<h4>Methods and findings</h4>We identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) level from SUNLIGHT, the largest (n = 33,996) genome-wide association study to date for vitamin D. Four SNPs were genome-wide significant for 25OHD level (p-values ranging from 6 × 10-10 to 2 × 10-109), and all four SNPs lay in, or near, genes strongly implicated in separate mechanisms influencing 25OHD. …”

The burden and trend prediction of atrial fibrillation and flutter associated with lead exposure: insights from the global burden of disease study 2021 by Lili Deng, Qinhong Li, Hongyan Li, Bin Li, Zugen Cheng, Ying Xiao

“…BackgroundAtrial fibrillation and flutter (AF/AFL) are increasingly recognized as major contributors to global cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Emerging evidence implicates environmental lead exposure as a modifiable risk factor for AF/AFL, yet the global burden and trends of AF/AFL attributable to lead exposure remain poorly characterized.MethodsWe used data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 to estimate mortality, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and temporal trends in AF/AFL attributable to lead exposure from 1990 to 2021, with projections to 2030. …”
