Changes in proteomic cargo of circulating extracellular vesicles in response to lifestyle intervention in adolescents with hepatic steatosis
Recent studies suggest that proteomic cargo of extracellular vesicles (EVs) may play a role in metabolic improvements following lifestyle interventions. However, the relationship between changes in liver fat and circulating EV-derived protein cargo following intervention remains unexplored. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Metformin use is associated with reduced mortality risk in diabetic patients with Parkinson's disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) and type-2 diabetes (T2D) arguably share pathophysiologic mechanisms, resulting in a more severe phenotype and progression and diabetes is currently considered a risk factor of PD. Besides, research suggests antidiabetic therapies as potential disease-modifying strategies. The main aim was to assess the impact of a metformin-inclusive antidiabetic treatment on patient all-cause mortality. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Red and processed meat intake and risk of cardiovascular disease: A  two-sample Mendelian randomization study
Previous observational studies have yielded inconsistent findings regarding associations between red/processed meat intake and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Some studies have suggested positive relationships, while others have demonstrated no significant associations. However, causal effects remain uncertain. This 2023 Mendelianrandomization (MR) study investigated the causal relationship between red and processed meat (porkmeat, mutton meat, beef meat)intake and CVD risk by analyzing summary data from the UK Biobank (exposure), CARDIoGRAMplusC4D (coronary artery disease [CAD]), MEGASTROKE (stroke), Nielsen et ...

Gut instincts: Unveiling the connection between gut microbiota and Alzheimer's disease
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder marked by neuroinflammation and gradual cognitive decline. Recent research has revealed that the gut microbiota (GM) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of AD through the microbiota-gut-brain axis. However, the mechanism by which GM and microbial metabolites alter brain function is not clearly understood. GM dysbiosis increases the permeability of the intestine, alters the blood –brain barrier permeability, and elevates proinflammatory mediators causing neurodegeneration.

A Case Report of Lactobacillus Bacteremia in a Patient on Chronic Parenteral Nutrition
Short bowel syndrome is a malabsorption disorder typically caused by the physical loss of a portion of the intestine, whereafter the body is unable to adequately absorb nutrients, fluids, and electrolytes. Many patients with short bowel syndrome are reliant on home parenteral nutrition through a tunneled or peripherally inserted central catheter to ensure sufficient hydration and nutrition. Central venous catheters are a nidus for bacteria, and patients are at risk for infections associated with high levels of morbidity and mortality. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)
