Article Abstract

Background: Coffee is widely consumed in the US, linked to various health benefits, including reduced adiposity. α-Klotho is a circulating protein linked to the aging processes, associated with greater longevity, and confers protective effects against cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and neurodegenerative disorders. This study investigates the association between coffee (total, caffeinated, and decaffeinated) intake and serum α-Klotho (SαKl) levels.

Methods: Data from 9,811 participants aged 40-79 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2007-2016) were analyzed. Coffee intake was assessed using 24-h dietary recalls in the Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies. SαKl levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Multivariable linear regression and generalized additive models analyzed the relationships.

Results: An L-shaped association was observed between total coffee and caffeinated coffee intake and SαKl levels, characterized by a sharp decline at low consumption that plateaued at higher intakes, particularly among females and individuals under 60 years old. The relationship persisted across all adjusted models, with a clear inflection point in the L-shaped curve. Decaffeinated coffee showed no significant effects.

Conclusion: There is a negative, L-shaped association between coffee, particularly caffeinated coffee, and SαKl levels, underscoring the potential impact of caffeinated coffee on aging-related biomarkers and the need for further investigation into underlying mechanisms.

Background: Anemia is the most frequent complication during pregnancy. Iron and folate deficiencies are the primary causes of anemia during pregnancy resulting from low hemoglobin concentration. Globally, preventive strategies such as iron and folic acid supplementation, improved dietary practice and deworming program play a crucial role in reducing the rate of anemia.

Caffeine is the most widely consumed psychoactive substance globally, yet its peripheral physiological effects remain incompletely understood. Leveraging comprehensive data from 13,091 blood donors in the REDS RBC-Omics study, we identify caffeine as a significant modulator of red blood cell (RBC) storage quality and transfusion outcomes. Elevated caffeine levels were reproducible across multiple donations from 643 recalled donors, selected based on their extremes in hemolytic propensity.

Background: Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are critical regulators of bacterial biofilm formation, but the role of lysine malonylation (Kmal) in biofilm formation is still poorly understood.

Methods: In this study, we analyzed the dynamic changes of protein malonylation of () DC15 during biofilm formation based on antibody affinity enrichment combined with quantitative proteomics.

Results: Quantitative profiling identified 2,833 malonylated sites across 788 proteins, with significant enrichment in biofilm-associated proteins.

Hiatal hernia complicated by gastric volvulus: case report.

J Surg Case Rep

September 2025

Department of Radiology, King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Medical City, Medina, Saudi Arabia.

Gastric volvulus is a rare and potentially life-threatening complication of large hiatal hernias. It is defined as the abnormal rotation of the stomach by >180° around one of its axes, leading to closed-loop obstruction and risks of ischemia and perforation. We present a case of an 84-year-old female presented with severe epigastric pain associated with coffee ground vomiting.

Aims: Emerging evidence implicates the gut microbiota in type 2 diabetes (T2D) development and their association with multiple host factors. This study aimed to explore the differences in gut microbiota between T2D patients and non-diabetic controls, and to estimate the relationship between host factors and specific microbial signatures in T2D.

Methods: 16S rRNA gene sequencing was performed on fecal samples from 508 T2D patients and 1,538 controls in a Chinese population.
