Ketone supplements containing β-hydroxybutyrate (β-OHB) are a purported therapeutic strategy for improving brain health in at-risk populations. We tested the hypothesis that short-term β-OHB supplementation will elevate cerebral blood flow and BDNF, as well as improve cognition in adults with obesity. In a placebo-controlled double-blind, cross-over design, 14 adults with obesity (10 females; aged 56 ± 12 years; body mass index = 33.8 ± 6.9 kg m-2 ) consumed 30 mL (12 g) of β-OHB or placebo thrice-daily for 14 days. Blood flow (Q) and cerebrovascular conductance (CVC) were measured in the common carotid (CCA), internal carotid (ICA) and vertebral (VA) arteries by duplex ultrasound. BDNF was measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Cognition was assessed by the digit-symbol substitution (DSST), Stroop and task-switching tests. FollowinBDNF). Ketone supplements containing β-hydroxybutyrate (β-OHB) reduce postprandial hyperglycaemia, which may increase CBF and BDNF, thereby protecting against obesity-related cognitive dysfunction. We show for the first time that 14 days of thrice-daily β-OHB supplementation improves aspects of cognition and increases cerebrovascular flow, conductance and shear rate in the extracranial arteries of adults with obesity. Our preliminary data indicate a significant positive relationship between elevated CBF and improved cognition following β-OHB supplementation. This trial provides a foundation for the potential non-pharmacological therapeutic application of β-OHB supplementation in patient groups at risk of hyperglycaemic cerebrovascular disease and cognitive dysfunction.Phytophthora spp. incite serious plant damages by exploiting a large number of effector proteins and small RNAs (sRNAs). Several reports are describing modulation of host RNA biogenesis and defence gene expression. Here, we analysed Phytophthora infestans Argonaute (Ago) 1 associated small RNAs during potato leaf infection. sRNAs were co-immunoprecipitated, deep sequenced and analysed against the P. infestans and potato genomes, followed by transcript analyses and transgenic assays on a predicted target. Extensive targeting of potato and pathogen-derived sRNAs to a range of mRNAs was observed, including 638 sequences coding for resistance (R) proteins in the host genome. The single miRNA encoded by P. infestans (miR8788) was found to target a potato alpha/beta hydrolase-type encoding gene (StABH1), a protein localized to the plasma membrane. Analyses of stable transgenic potato lines harbouring overexpressed StABH1 or artificial miRNA gene constructs demonstrated the importance of StABH1 during infection by P. infestans. miR8788 knock-down strains showed reduced growth on potato. In analogy, elevated StABH1 expression levels were observed when inoculated with the two knock-down strains compared to the wild-type strain 88069. The data suggest that sRNA encoded by P. infestans can affect potato mRNA, and thereby expand its already known multifaceted strategies to facilitate infection.

To examine the prevalent understanding of and management approaches to chronic endometritis among obstetricians/ gynecologists.

In a cross-sectional observational study, 262 members of national and international professional obstetrician/gynecologist societies were surveyed via anonymous electronic survey that investigated knowledge of the pathophysiology, diagnostic criteria, clinical implications and treatment strategies for chronic endometritis. Statistical analyses of results were performed using Fisher's exact tests, chi square tests and odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals. Two-sided p-value < .05 was deemed statistically significant.

Responses identified a concerning spectrum of deficiencies in understanding of the pathophysiology of chronic endometritis, in awareness of clinical presentation of chronic endometritis, and in the understanding of methodology/ies that allow diagnosis of chronic endometritis. Heterogeneities in management approaches to chronic endometritis were apparent.

Ount condition.In Western populations, the incidence of oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has been declining, whereas the incidence of oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC) has been increasing. Our study examines temporal trends in the incidence of oesophageal cancer in the Netherlands between 1989 and 2016, in addition to predicting future trends through 2041. Data from the Netherlands Cancer Registry and Statistics Netherlands were collected to obtain incidence trends of OSCC and OAC for the period 1989 to 2016. Age-period-cohort (APC) modelling was used to estimate the contribution of age, calendar period and birth cohort on the observed incidence trends. To predict the future numbers of new cases of both OSCC and OAC from 2017 to 2041, log-linear APC models were fitted to the trends of 1989 to 2016. The age-standardised incidence rates of OSCC have decreased slightly for men and increased slightly for women. In contrast, a marked increase in the incidence of OAC was observed, ranging from 2.8 per 100 000 persons in 1989 to 10.1 in 2016. This increase in OAC incidence was more prominent in men, and it will result in an increased risk of OAC for successive generations. Future projections indicate that the incidence of OAC will further increase to 13.1 per 100 000 persons in 2037 to 2041, meaning that there will be 13 259 cases of OAC in 2037 to 2041, as compared to 9386 diagnoses in 2017 to 2021. The changing epidemiologic trends in oesophageal cancer in the Netherlands should be reflected in the development of prevention, early detection and treatment strategies.Sessile plants constantly experience environmental stresses in nature. They must have evolved effective mechanisms to balance growth with stress response. Here we report the MADS-box transcription factor AGL16 acting as a negative regulator in stress response in Arabidopsis. Loss-of-AGL16 confers resistance to salt stress in seed germination, root elongation and soil-grown plants, while elevated AGL16 expression confers the opposite phenotypes compared with wild-type. However, the sensitivity to abscisic acid (ABA) in seed germination is inversely correlated with AGL16 expression levels. Transcriptomic comparison revealed that the improved salt resistance of agl16 mutants was largely attributed to enhanced expression of stress-responsive transcriptional factors and the genes involved in ABA signalling and ion homeostasis. We further demonstrated that AGL16 directly binds to the CArG motifs in the promoter of HKT1;1, HsfA6a and MYB102 and represses their expression. Genetic analyses with double mutants also support that HsfA6a and MYB102 are target genes of AGL16. Taken together, our results show that AGL16 acts as a negative regulator transcriptionally suppressing key components in the stress response and may play a role in balancing stress response with growth.

No study has focused on the economic burden in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) survivors, even though this knowledge is essential. This study reports on health care resource use and associated health care costs as well as related factors in a series of 1671 French long-term NHL survivors.

Health care costs were measured from the payer perspective. Only direct medical costs (medical consultations, outpatient treatments, hospitalizations, and medical transport) in the past 12 months were included (reference year 2015). Multiple linear regression was used to search for explanatory factors of health care costs.

In total, 1100 survivors (66%) reported having used at least 1 health care resource, and 867 (52%) reported having used at least 1 outpatient treatment. After the authors accounted for missing data, the mean health care cost was estimated at €702 ± €2221. Hospitalizations and outpatient treatments were the main cost drivers. Sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of the results. For the 1100 survivered health care pathways.This article charts the transformation, between 1997 and 2021, of the family visa and immigration permit infrastructure from a public into a commercial service in the United Kingdom. In doing so, it reveals a process of state-market hybridization underpinning the commercialization of migration regulation. Drawing on the analysis of legal archives, policy reports, and marketing materials directed at family migrants spanning 1997-2021, it presents fresh, systematic evidence of how, since 2007, a commercialized state-market hybrid migration infrastructure for visas and immigration permits has developed in the UK. We show how the trend of state-market hybridized commercialization has cascaded through three dimensions of migration infrastructure, as follows (1) state and public immigration agencies, (2) outsourcing visa application firms, and (3) private immigration advisers. Predicated on this hybrid public-private commercial infrastructure, application procedures for visas and immigration permits have become increasingly reconstituted as commercial, rather than public, services. This transformation has created a new transactional logic that stratifies individuals' right to family life along socioeconomic lines.It is unclear how treatment advances impacted the population-level survival of patients with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma/Waldenström macroglobulinaemia (LPL/WM). Therefore, we assessed trends in first-line therapy and relative survival (RS) among patients with LPL/WM diagnosed in the Netherlands between 1989 and 2018 (N = 6232; median age, 70 years; 61% males) using data from the nationwide Netherlands Cancer Registry. Patients were grouped into three age groups (75 years) and four calendar periods. Overall, treatment with anti-neoplastic agents within 1 year post-diagnosis gradually decreased over time, following a broader application of an initial watch-and-wait approach. GSK-3 inhibitor Approximately 40% of patients received anti-neoplastic therapy during 2011-2018. Furthermore, use of chemotherapy alone decreased over time, following an increased application of chemoimmunotherapy. Detailed data among 1596 patients diagnosed during 2014-2018 revealed that dexamethasone-rituximab-cyclophosphamide was the most frequently applied regimen; its use increased from 14% to 39% between 2014 and 2018. The 5-year RS increased significantly over time, particularly since the introduction of rituximab in the early-mid 2000s. The 5-year RS during 1989-1995 was 75%, 65%, and 46% across the age groups compared to 93%, 85%, and 79% during 2011-2018. However, the survival improvement was less pronounced after 2011. Collectively, the impressive survival improvement may be accounted for by broader application of rituximab-containing therapy. The lack of survival improvement in the post-rituximab era warrants studies across multiple lines of therapy to further improve survival in LPL/WM.
