Iron status in early infancy is associated with trajectories of cognitive development up to pre-school age in rural Gambia. by Samantha McCann, Luke Mason, Bosiljka Milosavljevic, Ebrima Mbye, Ebou Touray, Alhassan Colley, William Johnson, Sarah Lloyd-Fox, Clare E Elwell, Sophie E Moore, BRIGHT Study Team

“…We hypothesise that the relationship between iron status and cognitive development will be observable in the first months of life and will not be recovered by 5 years of age.<h4>Methods</h4>Using data from the Brain Imaging for Global Health (BRIGHT) Study in Gambia (n = 179), we conducted mixed effects modelling to assess the relationship between iron status at 5 months of age and trajectories of cognitive development from 5 months- 5 years using (i) a standardised measure of cognitive development (Mullen Scales of Early Learning) and (ii) an eye-tracking assessment of attention processing (visual disengagement time).…”

Causal Central Network Remodeling in Diabetic Neuropathy: An Integrated MR-fMRI Study by Li X, Gao L

“…For validation, amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) and functional connectivity (FC) analyses were conducted using rs-fMRI scans from DPN patients (n=16), diabetic controls without DPN (NDPN, n=24), and healthy controls (HC, n=20).Results: Bidirectional MR demonstrated that: (a) reduced default mode-visual network connectivity causally elevates DPN risk (OR=0.61, P=0.04); (b) DPN promotes subcortical-cerebellar hyperconnectivity (OR=1.04, P=0.01). …”
