Abstract:
... Aging is a risk factor for major central nervous system (CNS) disorders. More specifically, aging can be inked to neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) because of its deteriorating impact on neurovascular unit (NVU). Metformin, a first line FDA-approved anti-diabetic drug, has gained increasing interest among researchers for its role in improving aging-related neurodegenerative disorders. Additionally, ...

Abstract:
... Body condition score (BCS) is a known risk factor for cow health and well-being. Many different BCS scales and systems for assessment exist;while the scales used for assessing BCS vary, differences in how BCS is assessed (i.e., visual versus visual plus tactile) and the extent of training and experience of the assessor (i.e., professional linear classifiers versus producers) also contributes to th ...

Abstract:
... Pets are often regarded as family members in US households, but are rarely examined as a source of support for individuals who are suicidal. As suicide rates increase, all potential protective factors must be explored. The attachment bond between pets and their owners is akin to that of bonds with other humans, as pets provide unconditional love and emotional support when owners experience distres ...

Abstract:
... Weight cycling, repeated cycles of weight loss and weight regain over time, is commonplace amongst many population groups. Although the effect of weight cycling on future obesity and cardiometabolic risk is still hotly debated, evidence does indicate that individuals who were normal weight prior to weight cycling are more susceptible to its adverse consequences than those who were overweight or wi ...

Abstract:
... Alcoholic beverages are a well-known risk factor for cancer. N²-Ethyl-2′-deoxyguanosine (N²-Et-dG) is a promising biomarker for alcohol-associated cancers. However, the lack of a convenient detection method for N²-Et-dG hinders the development of practical DNA damage markers. Herein, we develop a detection method for N²-Et-dG using a single-molecule quantum sequencing (SMQS) method and machine lea ...
