Risk of Subsequent Dementia or Alzheimer Disease Among Patients With Age-Related Macular Degeneration: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Hou-Ren Tsai et al.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis found a significant association between age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and the subsequent development of dementia or Alzheimer's disease (AD). The risk was higher in patients with dry AMD compared to wet AMD. These findings emphasize the importance of identifying comorbidities and retinal biomarkers in older adults with AMD in ophthalmologic practice.

Role of Flavonoids in Management of Various Biological Targets in Alzheimer's Disease: Evidence from Preclinical to Clinical Studies

Khalid Saad Alharbi et al.

Summary: Alzheimer's disease affects over 10 million people worldwide and is characterized by memory loss, cognitive decline, and behavioral changes. Current treatment strategies aim to reduce symptoms rather than cure the disease. Flavonoids, which have various beneficial properties, are being investigated as a potential therapy for Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's Disease as Type 3 Diabetes: Common Pathophysiological Mechanisms between Alzheimer's Disease and Type 2 Diabetes

Michalis Michailidis et al.

Summary: This review article discusses the shared pathophysiological connections between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), emphasizing the role of insulin in the brain and the mechanistic interplay between the two diseases. The findings highlight the need for routine evaluation and treatment of cognitive impairment in T2DM patients and the evaluation of insulin levels or T2DM in AD patients. The hypothesis of AD as a type 3 diabetes is strongly supported.

Causal association evaluation of diabetes with Alzheimer's disease and genetic analysis of antidiabetic drugs against Alzheimer's disease

Lei Meng et al.

Summary: This study utilizes Mendelian randomization analysis to examine the causal associations between diabetes and Alzheimer's disease (AD). The results suggest a causal relationship between diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes, and an increased risk of AD. Furthermore, diabetes-related physiological parameters such as fasting blood glucose and total cholesterol levels may play a detrimental role in the development of AD. Additionally, genetic clues for drug development were identified through the analysis of antidiabetic drugs and their target genes.

Epidemiology of dementia onset captured in Canadian primary care electronic medical records

Anh N. Q. Pham et al.

Summary: This study analyzed electronic medical records to describe the trends and demographic characteristics of incident dementia cases in community-dwelling older adults managed by primary care physicians in Canada. The study found that the incidence of dementia increased with age, but decreased in the oldest old. Women and urban residents were more likely to be diagnosed with dementia.

Summary: This article discusses the impact of Alzheimer's disease on public health, including its incidence, prevalence, mortality and morbidity rates, healthcare costs and caregivers' burden. It also addresses the perspectives of consumers and primary care physicians on mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and the need for improved awareness, diagnosis, and treatment. The article emphasizes the increasing number of individuals living with Alzheimer's and the challenges faced by caregivers and healthcare providers, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Genome sequencing analysis identifies new loci associated with Lewy body dementia and provides insights into its genetic architecture

Ruth Chia et al.

Summary: By conducting whole-genome sequencing and genetic analysis, researchers have identified common genetic risk factors and pathways shared between Lewy body dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease. This provides a deeper understanding of the complex genetic architecture of these age-related neurodegenerative conditions.

Gut microbiota-derived propionate mediates the neuroprotective effect of osteocalcin in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease

Yan-fang Hou et al.

Summary: The study showed that osteocalcin (OCN) can improve motor deficits and dopaminergic neuronal loss in a Parkinson's disease mouse model. Manipulating the gut microbiome by OCN led to increased propionate levels, which correlated with improvements in motor deficits and dopaminergic neuronal loss in the PD mice. The activation of FFAR3 receptor by propionate in the enteric nervous system might be the main mechanism behind the neuroprotective effects of OCN on Parkinson's disease.

Osteocalcin attenuates oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination via GPR37 signaling in the mouse brain

Zhengjiang Qian et al.

Summary: The bone-derived hormone osteocalcin plays a crucial role in regulating oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination in the central nervous system. Through the OCN/GPR37 pathway, it orchestrates the transition between oligodendrocyte precursor cells and myelinating oligodendrocytes, ultimately maintaining myelin homeostasis.

Summary: The study found significant associations between circulating OCN and higher DBP and HDL-C, as well as decreased TG, blood glucose level, insulin resistance, liver fat content, bone mineral density, BMI, and a favorable body fat distribution pattern. MR analysis suggested a causal effect of T2DM on lower circulating OCN concentration.

Genome-Wide Association Studies of Cognitive and Motor Progression in Parkinson's Disease

Manuela M. X. Tan et al.

Summary: The study found that genetic variants associated with Parkinson's disease risk are not linked to disease progression. The APOE epsilon 4 tagging variant was significantly associated with cognitive progression, while ATP8B2 gene showed a nominal association with motor progression. The new method shows promise in improving the measurement of symptom progression in PD.
