Article Abstract
Background: Vascular dementia (VaD) is the second most common cause of dementia globally and is associated with a significant economic and social burden. Diet could represent an important tractable risk factor for VaD. We synthesised current evidence on associations between consumption of specific foods or dietary patterns and VaD risk.
Methods: Five databases were searched from inception to January 2024 for prospective cohort studies exploring associations between individual foods or dietary patterns and incident VaD.
Results: Sixteen studies were included. Compared with low intake reference groups, higher fruit and vegetable intake, moderate alcoholic drink intake (1-3 drinks/day), higher tea and coffee intake, and following a plant-based dietary pattern were associated with lower VaD risk. Conversely, moderate fried fish intake (0.25-2 servings/week), higher ultra-processed food intake (especially intake of sweetened beverages) and higher processed meat intake (≥ 2 servings/week) were associated with increased VaD risk. Inconsistent findings were observed for other dietary exposures.
Discussion: A healthy diet could lower VaD risk. However, evidence is characterised by a limited number of studies for specific dietary exposures. Further research is needed to inform personalised and population-based approaches to lower VaD risk.

Background: Sleep deprivation has been linked to higher dementia risk, but the role of weekend recovery sleep (WRS) in mitigating this risk remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the association between WRS and dementia risk.
Methods: This prospective cohort study followed 88,592 dementia-free adults aged 40-79 years from the UK Biobank, using wrist accelerometers to measure average weekday and weekend sleep durations.
Comparative Efficacy and Safety of Intravenous Cangrelor versus Intravenous Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibitors after Mechanical Thrombectomy for Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Intravenous cangrelor and Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors (GP IIb/IIIa I) are current options in antiplatelet therapy during neurointerventional procedures, potentially enhancing reperfusion and preventing reocclusion. In specific conditions, these antiplatelet agents are employed as adjuvant to mechanical thrombectomy (MT), a procedure that is crucial for patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with large vessel occlusion (LVO). However, direct comparisons of these drugs in this context remain limited.

Vascular dementia (VaD) is the second largest type of dementia in the world after Alzheimer's disease, characterized by selective loss of neurons caused by cerebrovascular disease, dysfunction of cortical subcortical circuits, and cognitive domain specific damage. This article systematically analyzes some gene expression regulation issues in VaD pathogenesis from five dimensions: abnormal gene expression profile, epigenetic modification abnormality, transcription factor (TF) cascade regulation, non coding RNA (ncRNA) regulatory axis disorder, and gene environment interaction. For the first time, the "Dynamic Imbalance Theory of Gene Regulation Network" (DIGRN) is proposed.

School attendance is associated with increased quality of life in chronically ill pediatric patients and has a profound impact on child development. Despite the importance of school attendance, little research has been done to identify which pediatric transplant recipients are at risk for delayed school attendance due to morbidity.Despite the importance of school attendance, little research has been done to identify which pediatric transplant recipients are at risk for delayed school attendance due to morbidity.

Dementia, particularly Alzheimer's disease (AD), presents a growing global health challenge characterized by cognitive decline, behavioral changes, and loss of independence. With increasing life expectancy, early diagnosis and improved clinical strategies are urgently needed. This study developed and evaluated machine learning (ML) models to predict AD risk using UK Biobank data, integrating health, genetic, and lifestyle factors.
