Article Abstract
Background: The amyloid-β1-42 (Aβ42) level is a biomarker that is widely used to evaluate individual cognitive dysfunction early in neurodegenerative diseases, as well as differentiate between normal cognitive function, mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's disease, and vascular cognitive impairment.
Objective: Our cross-sectional study evaluated the association between daily exercise and physical and cognitive function and Aβ42 levels among a subsample of 325 older adults from the Kasama Study.
Methods: Participants (age: 74.5 [range 65-90] years) were classified into three exercise groups: the dual-task (DEG, n = 128), single-task (SEG, n = 122), and non-exercise (NEG, n = 75) groups. The main outcomes were the plasma Aβ42 levels and the scores of the five cognitive (5-COG) tests and five cognition-related physical function (5-PHYS) tests.
Results: The Aβ42 levels and 5-COG and 5-PHYS scores were higher in the SEG and DEG than in the NEG. The Aβ42 levels were higher in the DEG than in the NEG (p = 0.008).
Conclusions: Physical activities such as regular exercise may benefit older adults, improving their cognitive and physical function.

The low dose dexamethasone stimulation test (LDDST) is routinely used in canine medicine but in the few cases in guinea pigs diagnosed with hypercortisolism, the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) stimulation test was used. The objective of the authors was to conduct a pilot study and find out if the standard test used in dogs can be used in this species.A 4-year-old intact female hairless guinea pig showed bilaterally enlarged adrenal glands and high cortisol levels.

Background: We investigated circulating protein profiles and molecular pathways among various chronic kidney disease (CKD) etiologies to study its underlying molecular heterogeneity.
Methods: We conducted a proteomic biomarker analysis in the DAPA-CKD trial recruiting adults with and without type 2 diabetes with an eGFR of 25 to 75 mL/min/1.73m2 and a UACR of 200 to 5000 mg/g.

Selenium is an essential trace element in many organisms but becomes toxic at elevated concentrations. At moderately increased, non-lethal levels, selenite triggers both selenium utilization and stress responses in microorganisms. However, the thresholds of such responses in archaea remain poorly understood.

Background: Digital media frequently contains positive portrayals of alcohol content, which has been shown to be associated with alcohol-related cognitions and behaviors. Because youth are heavy media consumers and have access to unsupervised, repeat viewing of media content on their personal mobile devices, it is critical to understand the frequency of encountering alcohol content in adolescents' daily lives and how adolescents engage with the content.
Objective: This paper outlines the study protocol for examining adolescents' exposure to alcohol-related content in digital media within their natural environments.

Background: Various media are used to enhance public understanding about diseases. While mobile health apps are widely used, there is little proof for using such apps to raise awareness of skin diseases.
Objective: We intend to develop an app, called DEDIKASI-app, to raise awareness of skin diseases, including leprosy.
