Water is a dwindling natural resource, and potable water is wrongly considered an unlimited resource. This review seeks to support policymakers in making informed decisions about water use, avoiding wasting, and finding solutions that may be planet friendly and patient friendly in dialysis, especially in hemodialysis treatments.

The study reveals that damage to the blood-brain barrier increases the proportion of microglia, a type of brain cell, which contributes to the progression of aging and Alzheimer's disease. It also identifies ten different functional types of microglia and underscores the significance of certain signalling pathways in communication between cells.

In this review, we summarized the potential therapeutic effects and related mechanisms of Panax ginseng in treating AD and VaD to provide some examples for further studies.

This article investigates the distribution and levels of tau and other neuronal proteins in the submandibular gland and frontal cortex of individuals at different clinicopathological stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD), revealing differential protein levels and the presence of unique tau species in peripheral tissues, providing insights into the relationship between peripheral tissues and AD progression.

This review integrates the current evidence and potential mechanisms of gut microbiota and its metabolites in Alzheimer’s disease and comprehensively reviews the possibility of leveraging dietary interventions to prevent Alzheimer’s disease progression, with a focus on the gut–microbiota–brain connections and diet–metabolite–host interactions.

This article reviews collaborative mindset required to tackle global problem of AD.

This Article supports Sustainable Development Goal 3 by assessing the impact of physical activity and sleep on 10-year cognitive decline in older people. They showed that the cognitive benefits associated with increased activity were not enough to ameliorate decline associated with short sleep.

Introduction and Objectives: We initiated this multicenter study to integrate important risk factors to create a nomogram for hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) for clin

This Review supports SDGs 3 and 13 by synthesizing the recent evidence on whether and how climate change, manifested in meteorological fluctuations, extreme weather events, and long-term global warming, influences the epidemic dynamics of viral respiratory infections, including spatiotemporal distribution of seasonal epidemic, disease outbreaks, and pandemics.

This Article supports SDGs 3 and 13 by comprehensively assessing the future out-of-hospital cardiac arrest morbidity burden related to non-optimal temperatures, heatwaves, and cold spells in Northern China under different climate change scenarios.
