This paper reports the methods and preliminary findings of Germina, an ongoing cohort study to identify biomarkers and trajectories of executive functions and language development in the first 3 years of life. 557 mother-infant dyads (mean age of mothers 33.7 years, 65.2% white, 48.7% male infants) have undergone baseline and are currently collecting data for other timepoints. A linear regression was used to predict baseline Bayley-III using scores derived from data-driven sparse partial least squares utilizing a multiple holdout framework of 15 domains. Significant associations were found between socioeconomic/demographic characteristics ( = 0.29), epigenetics ( = 0.11), EEG theta ( = 0.14) and beta activity ( = 0.11), and microbiome functional pathways ( = 0.08) domains, and infant development measured by the Bayley-III at T1, suggesting potential interventions to prevent impairments.

Background: Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability globally, with frequent cognitive sequelae affecting up to 60% of stroke survivors. Despite the high prevalence of post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI), early detection remains underemphasized in clinical practice, with limited focus on broader neuropsychological and affective symptoms. Stroke elevates dementia risk and may act as a trigger for progressive neurodegenerative diseases.

The human kidneys play a pivotal role in regulating blood pressure, water, and salt homeostasis, but assessment of renal function typically requires invasive methods. Deuterium metabolic imaging (DMI) is a novel, noninvasive technique for mapping tissue-specific uptake and metabolism of deuterium-labeled tracers. This study evaluates the feasibility of renal DMI at 7-Tesla (7T) to track deuterium-labeled tracers with high spatial and temporal resolution, aiming to establish a foundation for potential clinical applications in the noninvasive investigation of renal physiology and pathophysiology.

Introduction: Among individuals who are amyloid biomarker-positive or apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 carriers, arterial stiffness reflected by higher pulse wave velocity (PWV) has been associated with lower cognition cross-sectionally. Less is known about longitudinal associations.
Methods: The sample included 152 older adults without dementia.

Wearable technologies that analyse non-conventional biological matrices, such as interstitial fluid, sweat, tears or breath, have the potential to provide longitudinal biomarker data with minimal invasiveness. These data could provide insights into physiological and behavioural patterns, in particular outside medical care facilities. Despite the success of continuous glucose monitoring, the adoption of wearable sensors for managing endocrine and metabolic diseases remains limited.

Introduction: Frequent glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) monitoring is recommended in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). We aimed to identify distinct, long-term HbA1c trajectories following a T2D diagnosis and investigate how these glycemic control trajectories were associated with health-related traits and T2D complications.
Research Design And Methods: A cohort of 12,435 unrelated individuals of European ancestry with T2D was extracted from the UK Biobank data linked to primary care records.
