A Simple Supplement Could Help The Immune System Fight Cancer And Viruses
▫️Low Arginine Levels May Allow Cancer Cells And Viruses to Slip Past The Immune System by Reducing Production of A Crucial Cellular Warning Protein.
▫️In Mice, Arginine-Rich Diets Led to Fewer Colon Tumors And Milder Viral Infections, Suggesting A Simple Supplement Could Have Powerful Therapeutic Potential.
▫️When Arginine Is Scarce, Cells Struggle to Produce MHC-1, A Protein That Helps Alert The Immune System to Threats Such As Mutated Cells And Invading Viruses.
▫️The Findings Were Published in Cell.

Alzheimer’s May Leave A Mark On The Brain Long Before Plaques Appear
▫️Brain Changes Associated With Alzheimer’s May Begin at Least Seven Years Before Amyloid Plaques Become Detectable With Current PET Scans.
▫️Researchers Uncovered The Signal by Tracking Healthy Older Adults With Repeated Brain Imaging Over Nearly 20 Years.
▫️The Study Suggests That The Current Gold Standard For Alzheimer's Imaging (Amyloid-PET) May Not be Sensitive Enough to Capture Some of The Earliest Brain Changes Associated With The Disease.
▫️The Work Was Led by Scientists in The Department of Psychology at The University of Oslo And Was Published in Nature Neuroscience.

Obesity Leaves A Lasting Memory in Immune Cells
▫️Obesity May Leave A Long-Lasting Biological Imprint on The Immune System, Potentially Keeping Some Health Risks Elevated For Years After Weight Loss.
▫️A 10-Year Study Published in EMBO Reports Suggests That People Who Have Lived With Obesity Can Retain A Molecular "Memory" of That State in Important Immune Cells.

Whole goat milk versus cow milk formula and atopic dermatitis in infants: A randomized clinical trial
Atopic dermatitis (AD) poses a substantial burden on affected children and their families.
The evidence of the role of feeding choices in infancy for AD development is limited.

Estrogen-Only Menopausal Hormone Therapy Linked to Lower Alzheimer’s Pathology, Dementia Risk
▫️Women Who Used Estrogen-Only Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT) Had 35% Lower Odds of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) Neuropathologic Change at Autopsy And 39% Lower Odds of Clinician-Defined Dementia in A Large Observational Study Led by Stanford Researchers.
▫️The Findings, Published in Neurology, Add to Decades of Conflicting Evidence On Hormone Therapy And Cognitive Health.

Common Antibiotic Linked to Possible Higher Death Risk
▫️Cefepime is a fourth-generation antibiotic widely used to treat serious bacterial infections and febrile neutropenia - a fever in patients with abnormally low white blood cell counts.
▫️Unlike many antibiotics that are falling prey to antimicrobial resistance, cefepime is relatively stable against AmpC β-lactamases, giving it an advantage against bacteria that produce these enzymes. However, scientists are concerned that this widely effective antibiotic may increase the risk of death, a concern first brought to light by a 2007 meta-analysis.
▫️In a recent study published in JAMA Network Open, researchers re-examined data from a series of clinical trials and studies to investigate whether patients treated with cefepime were more likely to die than those treated with other β-lactam antibiotics.
