Summary: This study examined the potential dose-response relationship between legume consumption and mortality rates in the general population. The results showed that higher legume intake was associated with a reduced risk of all-cause and stroke mortality, but there was no significant association with cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, and cancer mortality.

Summary: The study found that higher egg consumption was not associated with mortality from all causes, cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, stroke, or respiratory disease. However, it was associated with an increased risk of cancer mortality. Each additional egg per week consumption was associated with a 2% and 4% increased risk of all-cause and cancer mortality, respectively. The certainty of the evidence was rated as low to moderate.

Summary: The study found that there is an association between serum calcium concentrations and mortality in the general healthy population. Low and high calcium levels increase the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality, while the risk of cancer mortality is linearly positively related to calcium concentrations.

Summary: The study found a U-shaped association between low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) score and total mortality among Asians, with high animal protein and fat in LCD associated with higher mortality risk. Conversely, a LCD high in plant-based sources of protein and fat was associated with a lower risk of total and cardiovascular mortality.

Summary: This study found that FT3, FT4, and the FT3/FT4 ratio were all independent predictors of all-cause death. FT4 and the FT3/FT4 ratio were independent predictors of cardiovascular mortality and CVD risk. Along with FT3 and FT4, we should pay equal attention to the FT3/FT4 ratio in the general population.

Summary: This study investigated the association between blood cadmium levels and mortality risk in adults. The results showed that higher cadmium exposure was associated with increased risks of all-cause and specific-cause mortality. Furthermore, smoking status and age also played important roles in this association.

Summary: Consumption of a high proportion of ultra-processed food (UPF) in the diet is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality, partly due to its high dietary content of sugar. Additionally, some established biomarkers of CVD risk are likely to be involved in linking UPF consumption to mortality.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to compare the value of vascular calcification (VC), serum osteoprotegerin (OPG) levels, and other biochemical markers as predictors of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). The study found that OPG was a significant predictor for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, performing better than VC. In addition, albumin and calcium levels were associated with the risk of mortality.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of cardiovascular risk factors on the prognosis of patients with cardiogenic shock. The results showed that neither overall cardiovascular risk nor individual risk factors were significantly associated with the 30-day all-cause mortality rate in these patients.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the risk of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality in patients with diabetes infected by COVID-19. The results showed that patients with diabetes hospitalized due to COVID-19 had a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, stroke, and all-cause mortality compared to those who were not infected by COVID-19.

Summary: Leisure time physical activity is associated with reduced risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and all-cause mortality, while occupational physical activity is linked to increased risks, independently of each other. There is no significant interaction between the two domains of physical activity in terms of MACE or all-cause mortality risk.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of telemedicine consultation on treatment modification in dementia care. The results showed that about 10.7% of patients had treatment modifications during telemedicine consultations in French memory clinics, particularly those living with a relative or diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. The treatment modification rate was similar between the study period and the control group referred in 2019.

Summary: It is essential to identify and assess neurocognitive disorders in CKD patients, as it can help adjust treatment strategies, educate patients and caregivers, and provide support. Multiple factors can influence the development and progression of cognitive impairment, highlighting the need for rigorous cognitive assessment and screening.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the contributions of background disorders to poststroke participation restriction. Through assessment of 256 patients, it was found that poststroke participation restriction was associated with prestroke participation restriction score, severity of neurological impairment, gait score, global cognitive Z-score, behavioral dysexecutive disorders, and presence of anxiety and depression. The study also highlighted an independent determinant: behavioral dysexecutive disorders.

Summary: This study provides consensus recommendations for rapid bedside detection of neglect in real-world, clinical environments. Cancellation tasks were found to be the most frequently used primary screening test, while line bisection, figure copying, and baking tray task were recommended as secondary tests. The study emphasizes the importance of using multiple neglect tests whenever possible.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of CAA-related inflammation (CAA-ri) and non-inflammatory CAA. The results showed that CAA-ri patients had a higher institutionalization rate, mortality rate, and more severe cognitive impairment and loss of autonomy compared to non-inflammatory CAA patients. MRI analysis revealed a higher number of cerebral microbleeds (CMB) in CAA-ri patients, and CSF analysis showed lower levels of Ass42. The presence of the APOE epsilon 4 allele may partially contribute to the increased severity in CAA-ri.

Summary: The study examined the functional organization and anatomy of executive functions using a verbal fluency task. A model of verbal fluency was proposed and supported by testing patients and controls. Lesion-symptom mapping and disconnectome analysis identified brain regions associated with fluency, but did not find specific regions for lexico-phonological search processes.

Summary: Apathy and depression are early behavioral symptoms in Alzheimer's disease and related disorders, and they are associated with an increased risk of conversion to dementia. In individuals with subjective cognitive decline, apathy and depression have different trajectories, and apathy alone is more likely to be associated with dementia conversion compared to depression.

Summary: This study investigates the differences in PSCI between men and women and found that sex does not affect the occurrence of PSCI, but the affected cognitive domains differ between men and women. These gender differences need to be considered when screening and diagnosing PSCI in clinical practice.

Summary: A 69-year-old woman developed non-convulsive status epilepticus during her hospitalization. Despite initial investigations not finding the cause, the diagnosis of Whipple's disease with neurological involvement was made through jejunal biopsy and PCR testing. This case highlights the importance of considering Whipple's disease.
