The Gut‐Brain Axis in Parkinson disease: Emerging Concepts and Therapeutic Implications

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The gut‐brain axis, i.e. the bidirectional communication system between the gut and the brain, has become of central importance in Parkinson disease (PD) research over the past 20 years. Aims We aimed to describe the milestones of the gut‐brain axis research in PD and the development of theories proposing the involvement of the ...

Association between Perceived Dysphagia Symptoms and Swallowing Physiology in Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Swallowing disorders are prevalent in Parkinson's disease (PD). Swallowing assessment often relies on patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs). Although PROMs and physiologic swallowing measures correlate with disease severity, the relationship between PROMs and physiologic swallowing impairments is unclear.

Nutraceutical Blends Promote Weight Loss, Inflammation Reduction, and Better Sleep: The Role of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii in Overweight Adults–A Double‐Blind Trial

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
This study explored how a 90‐day nutraceutical blend with prebiotics, minerals, and silymarin affects the gut‐brain axis in overweight adults. Results showed improved gut microbiota, reduced inflammation, and better sleep, mood, and quality of life, suggesting a strong link between gut health and mental well‐being.

Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound Stimulation of the Vagus Nerve for Modulation of the Inflammatory Reflex Assessed in Rats [PDF]

, 2018
Major depressive disorder (MDD) affects approximately 300 million people globally, with over 15% having treatment-resistant depression (TRD). People with depression have elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, especially tumor necrosis factor ...

Investigating the Mechanism of Conditioning Versus Postoperative Electrical Stimulation to Enhance Nerve Regeneration: One Therapy, Two Distinct Effects

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Regeneration after peripheral nerve injury is often insufficient for functional recovery. Postoperative electrical stimulation (PES) following injury and repair significantly improves clinical outcomes; recently, conditioning electrical stimulation (CES), delivered before nerve injury, has been introduced as a candidate for clinical ...

Function of the Normal Neuromuscular Junction in Young Children

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims The repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) test is fundamental to test the functional integrity of the neuromuscular junction. RNS data are scarce for newborns and young children, limiting early diagnostic efforts to identify children with neuromuscular diseases. Here, we performed RNS in young children.

The role of gut microbiota‐derived metabolites in neuroinflammation

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
Gut microbiota‐derived metabolites accumulate in the brain, activating or inhibiting microglia and astrocytes, which affects neuroinflammatory progression. The gut microbiota converts the diet into a variety of metabolites, including bile acid, trimethylamine N‑oxide (TMAO), and indole.

Nutritional priorities to support GLP‐1 therapy for obesity: A joint Advisory from the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, the American Society for Nutrition, the Obesity Medicine Association, and The Obesity Society

Obesity, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Glucagon‐like peptide 1 receptor agonists and combination medications (hereafter collectively referred to as GLP‐1s) are shifting the treatment landscape for obesity. However, real‐world challenges and limited clinician and public knowledge on nutritional and lifestyle interventions can limit GLP‐1 efficacy, equitable results, and ...
