Abstract

The relation between pulmonary function and cognitive functioning was investigated in a cohort of 3,036 Japanese-American men living in Hawaii. Pulmonary function, as indicated by forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), was measured at the baseline examination from 1965 to 1968. Cognitive function was assessed by the Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument (CASI) test at least 23 years later (1991-1993). Baseline FEV1 was significantly correlated with follow-up CASI score (r = 0.22, p = 0.0001). Although the strength of the association was reduced by controlling for the effects of other factors, stepwise multiple linear regression showed that FEV1 during middle age was a significant predictor of CASI in later life, after taking into account the effects of age, education, stroke, sedentary job activity, nonmanual occupation, height, generation, and Japanese speaking ability. The mean CASI value was significantly greater for men whose FEV1 exceeded 2.8 liter compared with those whose FEV1 levels were in the lowest (<2.5 liters) quartile. Furthermore, the test on the effect of interaction between FEV1 and age was statistically significant (p = 0.0024), with subjects less than 55 years of age at the baseline examination showi...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
