The relationship between leisure time physical activity patterns, Alzheimer’s disease markers and cognition by James, S, Sudre, CH, Barnes, J, Cash, DM, Chiou, Y, Coath, W, Keshavan, A, Lu, K, Malone, I, Murray-Smith, H, Nicholas, JM, Orini, M, Parker, T, Almeida-Meza, P, Fox, NC, Richards, M, Schott, JM

“…Engagement in leisure time physical activity in the life course is associated with better cognitive functioning at age 70, even in those with early markers of Alzheimer’s disease. If causal, this is likely via multiple pathways, potentially through the preservation of hippocampal volume, as well as via cognitive resilience pathways delaying cognitive manifestations of early markers of Alzheimer’s disease, particularly in women. …”

Adverse health events associated with antipsychotic use: an umbrella review by Chow, RTS

“…In terms of patient variables, older adults aged over 65 and patients with dementia were more likely to experience antipsychotic-associated adverse outcomes than adults and patients with schizophrenia. …”

Early Immune Regulatory Changes in a Primary Controlled Human Plasmodium vivax Infection: CD1c + Myeloid Dendritic Cell Maturation Arrest,... by Yeo, Tsin Wen, Woodberry, Tonia, Loughland, Jessica R., Minigo, Gabriela, Burel, Julie G., Amante, Fiona H., Piera, Kim A., McNeil, Yvette, Good, Michael F., Doolan, Denise L., Engwerda, Christian R., McCarthy, James S., Anstey, Nicholas M.

“…Induction of the kynurenine pathway and increased Treg activation, together with skewed mDC maturation, suggest P. vivax promotes an immunosuppressive environment, likely impairing the development of a protective host immune response.…”

Effects of geometrical parameters on performance of miniature centrifugal pump by Liu, Guiqin

“…For the same impeller operating at the same rotational speed, the difference between them is negligible, because the energy losses are mainly due to the volute length. For the same volute height and outlet width, the difference in the volute length is only 1% for the two methods. …”

Structural analysis of the novel influenza A (H7N9) viral Neuraminidase interactions with current approved neuraminidase inhibitors Oseltamivir, Zanamivir, and Peramivir in the pre... by Tran-To Su, Chinh, Ouyang, Xuchang, Zheng, Jie, Kwoh, Chee Keong

“…Results: Combination of molecular docking and Molecular Dynamics simulation reveal that zanamivir forms more favorable and stable complex than oseltamivir and peramivir when binding to the active site of the H7N9 neuraminidase. And it is likely that the novel influenza A (H7N9) virus adopts a higher probability to acquire resistance to peramivir than the other two inhibitors. …”
