Investigation of Inflammation in Fibromyalgia After a Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Immune Response
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a debilitating chronic pain disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain. The exact cause of FM is unknown, but current research suggests that an overactive immune response may be involved. The purpose of this study was to examine pathophysiological responses to a low-level immune insult, using in-vivo administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Thirteen women with FM and 13 age-matched healthy controls (HC) completed the study. Blood samples were collected before participants received 0.3ng/kg or 0.4ng/kg endotoxin and 3 hours after.

Investigating Neurometabolites and Pain in Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a complex, chronic pain disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and cognitive difficulties. The exact cause of FM remains elusive, with factors like abnormal pain processing and central nervous system sensitization implicated in its pathophysiology. One hypothesis is that the immune system is frequently activated, prompting microglia to initiate a central inflammatory state. The purpose of this study was to use whole-brain magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) to investigate whether abnormal inflammation in the central nervous system may be asso...

Does a sprawling neighborhood affect obesity? Evidence from Indonesia
This study combined individual-level longitudinal data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey and subdistrict-level land cover data to investigate whether a neighborhood ’s physical form affects individuals’ obesity status. We controlled for individual and location fixed-effect to account for individuals’ sorting preferences and unobserved heterogeneity at the subdistrict level. Our results suggest that a sprawling neighborhood corresponds to a lower body mass index, particularly among males. We also show that consumption behavior can explain this mechanism.

High-dose, short-duration versus standard rifampicin for tuberculosis preventive treatment: a partially blinded, three-arm, non-inferiority, randomised, controlled trial
This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03988933 (active).RESULTS: Between Sept 1, 2019, and Sept 30, 2022, 1692 people were assessed for eligibility, 1376 were randomly assigned, and eight were excluded after randomisation. 1368 participants were included in the mITT population (454 in the standard group, 461 in the 20 mg/kg group, and 453 in the 30 mg/kg group). 589 (43%) participants were male and 779 (57%) were female. 372 (82%) in the standard-dose group, 329 (71%) in the 20 mg/kg group, and 293 (65%) in the 30 mg/kg group completed treatment. No participants in the standard-dose group, one (<1%) of 44...

Tobacco use among in-school young adolescents in Indonesia: Exploring availability, affordability, and accessibility
This study aimed to explore the availability, affordability, and accessibility of tobacco among young adolescents in Yogyakarta Municipality, Indonesia, with a focus on advocating for school teenagers. F ocus groups, comprising participants from diverse backgrounds and stakeholders, were conducted in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, to systematically collect varied data. The subsequent analysis employed a robust thematic approach, combining both inductive and deductive processes to ensure a nuanced exploratio n of emerging patterns and pre-existing frameworks. In addition to focus group data, the study incorporated insights from ext...

Soy-Based Tempeh as a Functional Food: Evidence for Human Health and Future Perspective
Front Biosci (Elite Ed). 2024 Jan 31;16(1):3. doi: 10.31083/j.fbe1601003.ABSTRACTTempeh is an Indonesian traditional food made from fermented soybeans, which offers wide culinary use in East Asian countries. Similar to all fermented foods, its preparation offers the purpose of food preservation. However, preclinical studies have highlighted that microbial action leads to a modification in the nutritional composition of the food's matrix. Although there is a wide availability of data on the beneficial effect of soy, tempeh remains relatively unexplored, perhaps due to its limited diffusion in the world, which limits its res...
